Kara Bosworth just shared some devastating news: Her newborn son, McCoy Casey Bosworth, has passed away.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

Kara, who is the daughter of The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jeana Keough, broke the news on Instagram. "On April 6th, our son McCoy Casey Bosworth was born at 3:10am. Weighing in at 11 pounds and 4 ounces and spanning 21 inches, McCoy surprised us all with his size and strength (and overall perfection). During the course of his birth, he experienced shoulder dystocia and a compressed umbilical cord.
He joined our Heavenly Father and will live forever in the hearts of his loving parents, his adoring sister, and those that received his life-saving gifts."

Kara and her family, which includes husband Kyle Bosworth and daughter Decker, 4, made the decision to donate McCoy's organs. "I wrote this for the organ/tissue procurement team to read out in his honor: 'Tonight, we join together to honor this little savior’s gifts of life. Through him, may others find new hope and profound healing... and may he live again through them. May his legacy shine in the form of lifetimes aplenty - lives filled with laughter, compassion, energy, love, and most of all gratitude. May it be said that McCoy Casey Bosworth left this world in a better place, for a better place.... that he made an impact... that he was an answered prayer... that he was a hero. May angels lead him in. Thank you, McCoy.'”

Kara, who first announced that she was pregnant with her second child back in October 2019, concluded her tribute to her son: "Until we see you again... We love you, McCoy."

A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.â John 16:20 Until we see you again... We love you, McCoy.
