Love After Lockup star Amber Eggers has died, aged 41, following a serious health battle.

Showbiz site TMZ reports that the WeTV reality star's mother, Monica Eggers, confirmed her daughter's death, revealing she passed away in an Atlanta, Georgia hospital on September 3 as a result of acute liver failure. Amber had featured on season two of the show.

Monica explained her daughter had gone into hospital only days before she died, after first coming down with symptoms of illness - but medics were unable to save her once her heart stopped. No further details were given on the exact nature of her condition.

It comes just a month after Amber revealed she'd suffered a stroke, reports Eonline. In a Facebook post dated 5 August, she wrote: "I just had that mini stroke and my bday. What better time th[an] the present."

The reality star had been battling severe health issues for well over a year. Back in May 2025, her sister Erin Hyndman set up a GoFundMe to help cover medical costs, writing at the time: "I'm reaching out today with an update and a heavy heart to ask for your help. Many of you know Amber is 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 revealed in the same post that Amber had been hospitalized with "severe pneumonia and a bacterial infection in her blood," and that her condition had "became critical." Days later, she gave a more hopeful update, confirming Amber had been moved out of intensive care and had begun physical therapy in an effort to "regain strength in her legs to be able to walk again."

It was back in 2019 that Amber's Love After Lockup journey began, sparked by a prison romance with Vincent Gonzalez that blossomed while she was serving four years behind bars for drug trafficking. An engagement followed while both were still incarcerated, though the relationship didn't survive Amber's release. She also formed a close bond with fellow cast member Michelle "Puppy" Deaton during her time inside, with the pair going on to make cameo appearances together on spin-off show Life After Lockup.

Following news of her death, the franchise paid tribute to Amber in a joint statement with WeTV, shared on Instagram on 4 September. It read: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amber Eggers, an original and unforgettable member of the Love After Lockup family. She was a bright light, who shared her life story with courage and authenticity, and we are honored to have been a part of her journey over several years."

The statement continued: "Our hearts are with her family and friends who held her close."
