Robert Cosby Jr., the son of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby, has died at age 23 in Utah. The cause of death is unclear at this time.
TMZ first reported the news.
His passing comes only a couple of months after Robert’s wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce from the twentysomething. He is the only child of Mary Cosby and Robert Cosby Sr., who lead the Faith Temple Pentecostal Church in Salt Lake City.
Mary Cosby was vocal about her support of her son Robert on his sobriety journey as he navigated life. “I’m basically preaching to him,” she told Andy Cohen. “I’m like, you’re going through this, but you have to realize that God is allowing it. And if god allowed it, then it’s for your good. This will help you to change and you got to change. Is it your hope that he’ll be scared straight.”
