*TRIGGER WARNING*
Maya Vander opened up about the devastating loss of her stillborn son during the “Selling Sunset” reunion special.
In November, the 39-year-old realtor announced the loss of her son Mason Miller at 38 weeks. Her pregnancy was featured on the most recent season of “Selling Sunset”, which was completed earlier in 2021.
“It’s been four and a half months and time helps. I want to say thanks to each and every one of you, whenever s**t hits the fan, everyone was so kind here,” Vander says during the reunion, thanking her castmates and co-workers for their support. “Life happens, we’re filming reality, we don’t know how things will happen. I was 38 weeks, and it was a freak accident.”

Vander shared some details on the tragedy during the reunion, explaining, “We just got the autopsy back and it was just a bad accident with the cord. Mixed with some swallowed placenta.”
Vander, who shares son Aiden, 2, and daughter Elle, 23 months, with husband David Miller, also shared an update on how she and her family are coping. The realtor says she is “doing much better and I have my husband. He’s amazing, my kids are great; they keep me going, work and I’m busy.”

“I don’t have time to sit and cry all day long. I have my moments, that’s part of grief, and just take this opportunity to raise voice for stillbirth and pregnancy loss,” Vander says, adding that she is open to getting pregnant again.
“I think part of healing is getting pregnant again, I hope I will, we’ll see,” she shares.
