Mary Cosby is back filming “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” just one month after the death of her son, Robert Cosby Jr.
Sources told TMZ, who was the first to report this news, that the Bravo star joined the production recently after taking a brief pause while mourning Robert Jr.’s passing.
A rep for Bravo did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Filming for Season 7 of the Bravo series was scheduled to start the week of Feb. 23, but it was paused in light of Robert Jr.’s tragic passing.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, production for the upcoming installment later started filming earlier this month.
However, Mary did not join the rest of the cast (which includes Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, Angie Katsanevas, Meredith Marks, Bronwyn Newport, Whitney Rose, friend Britani Bateman, and newcomer Ashley Quai) filming at that time.
Robert Jr. was found dead at age 23 by Salt Lake City Police Department on Feb. 23 after authorities “responded to an overdose call that turned into a death investigation.”
On Feb. 25, Mary confirmed her son’s passing in a heartbreaking social media statement expressing her grief.
“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow,” the reality star wrote on Instagram at the time.
The Cosby family’s attorney, Clayton Simms, also told Page Six: “Robert Sr. and Mary Cosby are mourning the loss of their beloved son, Robert Clinton Cosby, Jr. His untimely passing is hard to comprehend, and the Cosbys are struggling to understand how someone so young and full of life could be gone so soon. Robert Jr.’s warm spirit, humor and kind heart will be missed.”
“This loss is sudden, and the family asks for privacy during this difficult time,” he added.
While Cohen couldn’t make the service due to his “commitments,” he said he heard the service was “so uplifting and so moving.”
“And Mary was on one, I mean, in a spiritual way. She was spiritually on one, let me say that,” he shared on his SiriusXM show, “Radio Andy Live.”
