Mary Cosby is mourning the loss of her son, Robert Cosby Jr. The star of «The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City» lost her child at the age of 23. RHOSLC fans are trying to come to terms with the news of his untimely death, and many are wondering what happened to Robert.
Mary and her husband, Robert Cosby Sr., confirmed their son’s death in a statement to TMZ on February 25, 2026, saying: «Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called to the Lord. While our hearts are full of pain, we find comfort in God’s promise and that he has finally found peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to help us during this difficult time».
Find out what we know about Robert’s untimely death.
Robert was Mary’s only child. The reality star shared him with her husband, Bishop Robert S. Cosby, whom she married in 1998.
Yes, Robert was married to his estranged wife, Alexiana Smoff, but she filed for divorce late last year. The couple had been married since they secretly exchanged vows in August 2022. They kept their vows hidden from Mary, and their marriage became a central storyline in the fourth season of RHOSLC.
A representative from the Salt Lake City police told Page Six that Robert was found dead on the evening of February 24, 2026, after police «responded to a call about an overdose that turned into a death investigation».
According to the representative’s statement, it appears that Robert died from an overdose.
The sixth season of RHOSLC followed Robert’s alleged drug use. At one point during the season, it was revealed that he had started using again. In the reunion episode, Mary shared that her son had been arrested and was serving time in jail after allegedly violating a restraining order obtained by Alexiana’s family.
«[Her family] filed a restraining order against him, and he went back anyway, thinking that she wanted him to come back and save her», - Mary explained in the episode. «I don’t know where he got that… nonsense».
According to his mother, Robert was serving time in jail, but his sentencing for violating the restraining order was scheduled for February 2026, as Andy Cohen mentioned. Discussing the situation, Mary said she would rather see her son in jail «than dead».
«I'm not worried about him», - Mary said at the time. «I know he’s somewhere where he’s not using… At some point, I have to step back so he can learn and make his own decisions, and unfortunately, he’s learning from his own experience. But I’m okay with that. You just don’t want to see your child suffer, but I know it’s for the best. And I would rather have him there than dead, you know?»
