Real Housewives of Orange County star Dr Brian Herman has died at the age of 63. The devastating news was shared by his wife, Deborah Windham, known as Dr Deb, who appeared on the popular reality programme with him, in a heartfelt social media announcement.
The TV star revealed that her husband had been diagnosed with brain cancer in January and was left wheelchair-bound and unable to speak due to his condition. At the time, she said: “A week in the life of a family weathering a storm. Remembering that all storms pass, sometimes leaving devastation in its wake… and we rebuild.”
Sharing the sad news on Instagram, Dr Deb said: “Rest in peace king. See you soon my beautiful man. Taken too early. We really lived! None of this seems real. 44 years. I’m so grateful for what you’ve gifted me, our children, the world.

“You’re at peace my beloved, these last months have been so hard for you, as you peeled back layer after layer of identity and ego, you were never afraid for yourself, only concerned about us. You didn’t want us to be sad, never complained, still saying yes til the last breath. The world has lost a powerful healer, a good human, a funny soul.”
Meanwhile, their daughter, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, said: “I’m writing this with my hands shaking, barely being able for my brain to catch up with this new reality.He was an amazing dad, grandad, husband and human. I’ll post more when I’ve had time to process, we’re all here together , trying to figure out how to do life without him. I love you Dad, for now and always.”
Dr Deb’s post was soon flooded with messages of condolences, with Géraldine Boublil writing: “Baruch Dayan Haemet. Sending lots of love and strength to you and the kids.”
Mack Phillips added: “You and your whole family are so inspiring. And I’m sad and sorry to see this post. Brave man. Beautiful man. All my love.” “I’m at a loss for words. I’ve been following you and your beautiful and inspiring family for years – I’m so sorry,” said another fan.
Another follower penned: “I’m still in shock and heartbroken. My heart goes out to you and the whole family. No words can possibly express the loss. He is such a legend and will always be. Sending you a big hug.”
Tamara Judge said: “Sending you love and prayers my friend.” Meanwhile, Margaret Josephs added: “Heartbroken for you all. I loved watching all your family video and pics together. Sending you so much love and hugs.”
