Amber Eggers, best known for appearing on We TV’s “Love After Lockup,” has died. She was 41.
The reality star, who appeared on the show’s second season in 2019, died Thursday after being hospitalized in Atlanta, her mother, Monica Eggers, told TMZ.
Monica said her daughter had been admitted several days ago after she began feeling unwell. Doctors eventually could no longer keep her heart beating, and she ultimately died from acute liver failure.
Page Six has reached out to AMC Global Media, the parent company of We TV, for comment.
Friends also confirmed Amber’s death on social media, with one paying tribute to her on Instagram.
“There really isn’t a good way to say something like this. It doesn’t feel real, and I don’t think any words can make it feel real. Amber Eggers has lost her fight today and passed away,” the friend wrote in part alongside a photo of Eggers.
“The doctors did everything they could, but in the end, her body just couldn’t keep fighting,” the friend added. “And if you knew Amber, you know she is a fighter.”
The friend concluded, “She will be missed more than we can probably put into words. ‘Love After Lockup’ viewers and cast alike love Amber very much. We laughed with her, worried about her and cheered her on through everything she faced.
“Thank you for being you, Amber. You are going to be missed. ❤️.”
In May 2025, Amber’s sister, Erin, launched a GoFundMe after Amber was hospitalized and put on a ventilator with severe pneumonia and a bacterial infection in her blood. Her condition became critical, and she was eventually placed on an ECMO machine, an advanced life-support system.
“I’m reaching out today with an update and a heavy heart to ask for your help,” Erin wrote on the fundraising page, describing her sister as “one of the kindest and most big-hearted people you could ever meet.”
“Right now, she needs all of that strength for the fight of her life,” Erin added.
Erin later shared that Amber had been moved out of the intensive care unit and started physical therapy “to be able to walk again.”
No further updates were provided on the GoFundMe page.
On “Love After Lockup,” viewers followed Amber’s relationship with Vincent Gonzalez, whom she began dating while serving a four-year prison sentence for drug trafficking, according to People.
The pair got engaged during their time on the show, but ultimately called it quits after Amber was released from prison.
Amber later made cameos in subsequent seasons of the franchise, which first premiered in 2018, as well as its spinoff, “Life After Lockup,” where she appeared alongside her former cellmate, Michelle “Puppy” Deaton.
