"Selling Sunset" star Maya Vander has suffered a devastating loss.

The real estate agent, 39, revealed on Instagram that her third child tragically died Thursday in a stillbirth 38 weeks into her pregnancy.

"Yesterday was the hardest day of my life," she captioned a photo of a pile of baby clothes in a memory box Friday. "I always heard of it but never imagined I’ll be part of the statistics."

"Instead of delivering a baby, I get to go home with a memory box… I do not wish this on anyone," she continued. "What was a regular weekly checkup turned into a nightmare that I never imagine will happen to me."

Vander explained that she decided to post about her loss to avoid questions about her due date, before writing, "You will always be in our heart, baby Mason."

Vander's fans, followers and "Selling Sunset" co-stars offered their condolences in the comments section as she grieved the loss of her son.

"Maya, I love you so much," wrote co-star Heather Rae Young. "I’m so sorry, Maya," Young's husband Tarek El Moussa commented.

Mary Fitzgerald commented, "My heart is breaking for you, babe. Sending you prayers, love and strength."

"This is unimaginable. It’s hard to find words," Chrishell Stause wrote. "My heart aches for you and your family. You are surrounded by so much love. Here for you for absolutely anything you need."

Sharelle Rosado, who is starring in the "Selling Sunset" spinoff "Selling Tampa," wrote, "So sorry for your loss. I know words can't help right now with what you are going through. You and your family will be in my prayers at this tough time."

Vander and her husband, whose name she has not revealed, share daughter Elle, 19 months, and son Aiden, 2.

The celebrity real estate agent first revealed that she was expecting her third child back in July. She shared a photo on Instagram of her and her husband posing on a rooftop in front of the Miami skyline as he cradles her baby bump.

Vander also posed for a maternity photoshoot and shared snaps of her baby bump on Instagram in November. "The last few months have FLOWN by… between work, kids and filming. Can’t believe 2022 is almost here and so is baby number 3!!" she wrote in the caption.

Prior to her pregnancy loss, Vander revealed on the "Domenick Nati Show" Tuesday that she won't film "Selling Sunset" full-time if it is renewed for a sixth season because she would be having her third baby.

"I'm probably not going to be a full-time cast member because it's going to be difficult for me logistically to do the back-and-forth again, especially with a third child," the realtor explained. "Realistically speaking, I'm probably going to stay more focused on Miami, my family and my business here, if we get renewed for another season."
