Mary Coby's son Robert Cosby Jr tragically passed away last week. Following his death, the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City filming was put on hold and has now resumed filming its seventh season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mary is not currently filming for RHOSLC because the network intends to follow her lead. Bravo has not released any information regarding the casting for season seven.

The production of RHOSLC Season 7 was supposed to start the week of February 23, but it was put on hold following Robert Cosby Jr.'s passing.

The Salt Lake City police department told the outlet that they had attended to an overdose call and that it had subsequently turned into a death investigation at around 6:14 p.m. on Monday.

Mary and her husband, Robert Cosby Sr., shared in a statement at the time, “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.”

Robert talked candidly about his battles with addiction when he and his mother appeared on RHOSLC. In a talk with Mary during season five, he discussed his substance misuse issues and revealed that he started using drugs like cocaine, Xanax, acid, and Molly at the age of sixteen.

On January 20, during RHOSLC's sixth season reunion, Mary disclosed that Robert was incarcerated on eight charges, including violating a protection order pertaining to his wife, Alexiana Smokoff. She had discussed Robert's recurrence during his 2024 rehab stay earlier in the season.

During an interview on Watch What Happens Live in December of that year, Mary revealed that her son had been in treatment. Then, in early February, both Robert and Mary posted on Instagram to commemorate their release from prison.
