Rich husband of popular mummy blogger Candice Miller dead at 43
The wealthy husband of a mummy blogger has died suddenly, leaving behind his wife and their two young children.
The wealthy husband of a popular American influencer has died suddenly at the age of just 43.
Real estate mogul Brandon Miller, who is married to well-known mummy blogger Candice Miller, was reportedly hospitalised in the Hamptons a few days prior to his death last Wednesday.
He was buried at the New Montefiore Cemetery in New York over the weekend, according to cemetery records first reported by The Real Deal.
There was no confirmed cause of death, the New York Post stated.
Mr Miller shared two young children with his influencer wife. The couple owned a $9 million house (about $13.5 million Australian dollars) in Tribeca, an affluent suburb in Lower Manhattan, and a $3 million home ($A4.5m) in Southampton, a coastal town included in the stretch of shoreline prominently known as the Hamptons, the Daily Mail reported.
Mr Miller was a managing partner at real estate company REEC – which was founded by his late father, Michael Miller, in 1978 after a career spent developing shopping centers.
The university graduate, who went to Brown, a college in the prestigious Ivy League, joined his father’s real estate company in 2004 as head of the acquisitions and finance department, according to the REEC website.
The company has purchased or developed more than 20 million square feet of real estate properties throughout the country.
Mrs Miller has amassed a huge following as a “noteworthy” socialite in the Big Apple after she co-founded the popular lifestyle blog Mama + Tata with her sister Jenna Crespi in 2016.
She’s also the co-founder of vintage-inspired clothing line Black Iris, and the head buyer for Tenet in Southampton, the Daily Mail added.
The socialite was previously linked to Ivanka Trump’s social circle in Miami after the pair were photographed at the beach in 2021, according to the New York Post.
Mrs Miller’s cousin, Arielle Charnas, is a fashion blogger and founder of Something Navy, which closed last year.
The Miller family has also faced some legal headaches over the past few years.
A 2019 complaint alleged that Brandon Miller’s father – who died in 2016 – had told his assistant to forge his son’s signature on some loan documents related to a condo project. The lawsuit was settled, according to court documents reported by The Real Deal.
In 2022, TD Bank sued Brandon Miller, his mother and his sister, alleging they made fraudulent transfers to keep the bank from collecting $2.1 million (just over $3 million Australian dollars) from his mother.
A third lawsuit filed last May claimed Brandon Miller owed more than $55,000 (almost $A82,000) in docking fees to a Hamptons marina in Aquebogue.
Since her husband’s death, Mrs Miller has shut down her social media accounts, with many followers sharing their concern on Reddit.
