Get to know Candice Miller’s new life and friends in Miami

Blogger mom Candice Miller’s seemingly perfect life was shockingly turned upside down by her husband’s suicide last summer – but she survived. found a new safe haven close to the sea, sources tell The Post.

The mother of two girls has moved to Miami Beach, Florida, and sources tell The Post she is finding ways to cope with the death of real estate mogul Brandon Miller was in debt of USD 33.6 million and left her with just $8,000 in her bank account.

“It’s weirdly okay,” said a Miami-based personality who runs in the same circles as Candice. A friend told The Post she had recently seen her at a gymnastics class and wouldn’t have guessed anything was wrong. “He goes to parties, events and dinners. She doesn’t sit at home dressed in black, with the lights off or something like that,” she added.

“We hear from Miami that she’s out,” a former friend of Candice’s in New York told The Post.

Brandon and Candice Miller’s lives were revealed to the public through her Instagram account Mom & Dad, which Candice ran with her sister. It showed Candice and Brandon living the good life in the Hamptons, driving vintage cars, going to sea aboard multi-million-dollar yachts, and flying privately. “An insider’s guide to what every New York mom needs,” is how she put it.

But it all fell apart during the July 4, 2024, holiday weekend. Candice was with the couple’s two daughters on Italy’s Amalfi Coast while Brandon, alone at home in the Hamptons, was found by rescuers dead in his white Porsche from carbon monoxide poisoning.

It was only after this event that Brandon’s enormous debts and legal troubles came to light, revealing that their lavish lifestyle was largely a fabrication and a cautionary tale sent forward by social media.

While she had a glittering style, as seen on her now-deleted social media accounts, some in high society tend to categorize the Millers as aspirants trying to earn a place among New York’s ultra-elite.

“What I know about her,” a member of the world told The Post, “is that she traveled with a photographer. She liked to splash around with her money.

In the suicide note he left, Brandon made it clear that Candice would receive $15 million as part of her life insurance policy. According to the New York Times, yes the money landed.

Either way, he’s starting over outside of New York and living a life worthy of the glamor of the main character of Mom & Dad – even if it’s a bit borrowed for now.

For starters, Candice and their children live in a 2,800-square-foot apartment inside the Continuumluxury building in South Beach. The pad is valued at $10 million and is owned by a trust linked to Alexander von Furstenberg. It was purchased in 2023.

Although von Furstenberg is one of Candice’s old friends who supports her, there are many new ones in her current city of residence.

The source there added: “This is Miami. It’s a place where there are more than enough people willing to accept her and include her in their circles.

Despite the stress of her husband’s sudden death and all the debt he has burdened her with – which Candice made clear and knew nothing about – a social source told The Post that Candice shows no resentment over the sudden change in circumstances.

“She doesn’t shop at Chanel every day,” the companion said. “But she lives life day by day. She lives in an expensive apartment lent to her by her friends. He goes to dinners and places like the Four Seasons Surf Club and Casa Tua, exercising and traveling.

“Apparently she was with the kids on Halloween and at a party. Sure, everything has changed. But from what we can see, nothing seems to have changed. She’s not super laid back. That’s for sure.”

As for the Hamptons life that made Candice famous, it seems to have been cut off. The seven-bedroom mansion she and Brandon owned on Water Mill Lane sold for $12.8 million. She is also facing a lawsuit The unpaid rent totals $194,881.89 for the couple’s former apartment on Park Avenue in New York.

Despite the fact that Brandon took his own life at home in the Hamptons, there were still plenty of offers. Nevertheless, a source told The Post: “The house would probably sell for a higher price, but… the bank wanted to withdraw”, so a quick sale was desired.

The buyer apparently received the property fully furnished and filled with personal belongings, something the new buyer did not want. About 200 items from the house went up for auction last week as part of an estate sale conducted by Privet Estate Sales, a Hamptons company that specializes in such items.

Despite previous reports that Candice was selling off all of her home’s belongings, Kristen Hanyo, owner of Privet Estate Sales, tells a slightly different story. “I don’t work for Candice Miller,” she said. – It wasn’t hers anymore. I wasn’t hired by her.

When asked who hired her, Hanyo replied, “The buyer” of the house.

The items ranged from the mundane (a pair of cake tins costing $6) to the luxurious (a $5,500 linen sofa) to the personal (a set of high-end golf clubs believed to have belonged to Brandon). .

Meanwhile, New York socialites are still trying to understand how such a terrible setback could occur for a couple who thought they had it all.

“People think they can create this lifestyle and will go to great lengths to maintain it,” said a source in Manhattan’s big money circle. Blaming the allure of social media acceptance, the display of wealth and all that comes with it, the Manhattan source added: “But for almost everyone in the world, it’s unsustainable.”
