Socialite Candice Miller relocates to Miami following husband's tragic death

Socialite Candice Miller is reportedly staying in a $10 million Miami condo owned by designer Diane von Furstenberg's son, following her departure from New York with her two children after the suicide of her husband, Brandon Miller.

According to The Real Deal, Candice, 42, is residing in an apartment purchased by socialite and businessman Alexander von Furstenberg in 2023. Property records confirm this purchase. The property features four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms and is situated in an upscale area of Miami Beach.

It is believed that the property was offered to Candice by Alex’s wife, Alison von Furstenberg, with whom she has maintained a close friendship for many years.

Candice listed the home as her residence in legal documents filed in New York in mid-August as part of her ongoing efforts to manage her late husband's debts.

The move to Florida comes shortly after she put her family’s Hamptons mansion on the market for $15.5 million amid reports that the property had been burdened with numerous loans and mortgages by Brandon before his death.

Brandon Miller died by suicide in July at age 43. He purchased the Water Mill, NY home for $3.2 million in 2011 and developed it under Cobb Isle Cottage LLC before transferring it to his own name in 2013. He was found unresponsive inside his Porsche Carrera on June 30 while his wife and children were vacationing on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. He passed away at a Southampton hospital on July 3 after leaving a suicide note indicating his intentions.

Reports emerged soon after about Brandon's significant financial struggles despite maintaining an image of wealth. Candice was known for her now-defunct “Mama + Tata” lifestyle blog, where she shared fashion and decorating advice while showcasing her lavish lifestyle.

Documents filed by Candice reveal that Brandon had four outstanding loans on their Water Mill home, including a $2 million mortgage from Titan Capital and another $800,000 loan from the same company. Titan Capital recently sued Candice to recoup these funds. Additionally, Brandon had loans with UBS, Stevens Financial Group, BMO Bank ($11.3 million), financier Donald Jaffe ($6.1 million), American Express ($300,000), and Funding Club ($266,000).

Brandon had assured his wife that their finances were under control before she left for Italy with their children when he made a suicide attempt that resulted in his death.

Page Six reported just over a month later that Candice planned to leave New York permanently for Miami before school started: “She’s over New York. She’s moving to Miami before school starts and has enrolled her kids in a Miami school.”
