Selling Sunset star Maya Vander has announced the tragic news that she and her husband Dave have lost the baby son they were expecting.

Maya shared the heartbreaking news that her son, Mason Miller, was born stillborn on Thursday 9th December, writing: “Yesterday was the hardest day of my life. I had a still birth at 38 weeks. I always heard of it but never imagined I’ll be part of the statistics. Instead of delivering a baby, I get to go home with a memory box…I do not wish this on anyone.

'What was a regular weekly checkup turned into a nightmare that I never imagine will happen to me. Given I share my pregnancies in the show I knew I’ll have to post about this and avoid the “when is your due date” questions. You will always be in our hearts Mason Miller 💔💙'

The devastating news comes after Maya hinted that she may quit Selling Sunset.

Due to having to travel from Miami and back, Maya admitted that it will become difficult for her to juggle filming, working and family life.

Speaking on the Domenick Nati Show, Maya revealed: "So I'm definitely gonna be keeping my license in California with Jason Oppenheim, but I do know that in season 6 I'm probably not gonna be a full cast member."

Sending Maya and her family all the love.

If you have been affected by stillbirth or neonatal death, please contact charity Sands.
