Reality star Ramona Singer revealed to Us Weekly that her younger brother died three weeks ago.

“My brother just died,” the Real Housewives of New York star shared. “No one knows this. He died about three weeks ago, my younger brother, and we weren’t close anymore… Because of this death, I got closer to my niece. I flew her out … for about a week. And I spoke to her and said that I was really sorry about her dad’s death, but if it wasn’t for his death, you wouldn’t have bonded with [my daughter] Avery and I. So we have this whole new relationship we never had.”

The experience also helped her make meds with Jill Zarin: “Jill has all these people rallying around her,” she noted. “You see how blessed you are with your friends. It doesn’t matter how much money you have. It doesn’t matter how famous or beautiful you are. What really matters is your family and friends, and friends become family. And Jill has great friends. We are all behind her 100 percent.”
