“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Cosby Jr., has died. He was 23.
A Salt Lake City Police Department spokesperson confirmed to Page Six that Robert was found dead on Monday evening after officers “responded to an overdose call that turned into a death investigation.”
A rep for Mary wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

Robert died after his estranged wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce a few months ago.
The exes reportedly tied the knot at a courthouse in Utah in August 2022, and their marriage was a storyline in Season 4 of “RHOSLC” after they kept their nuptials a secret from Mary.
The Bravo show also shed light on Robert and Alexiana’s alleged drug use.

Robert also had a history of run-ins with the law, which Mary shed light on during the Season 6 “RHOSLC” reunion in January.
During the episode, the Bravolebrity emotionally revealed that her son was arrested and serving time in jail after allegedly violating a restraining order put in place by Alexiana’s family.
“[Her family] filed a restraining order against him, and he went back anyway, thinking that she want[ed] him to come back and save her,” Mary said. “I don’t know where he’s getting that from … delusional.”
At the time, Bravo head honcho, Andy Cohen, shared that Robert’s sentencing was scheduled for February 2026.
