I wish we had more time!” she shared, illustrating a bond filled with love and laughter.
In addition to reminiscing about their joyful memories, Beauvais recounted how Carole played a significant role in her life during precious family moments. She reflected on the support Carole provided when her twin sons, Jax and Jaid, were born. Beauvais recalled how her sister would stay in the nursery to help, a testament to the close-knit relationship they had nurtured over the years.
Beauvais also noted her son, Oliver Saunders, and the affection Carole had for him as well, further highlighting her sister’s devoted nature. In her sorrowful message, she expressed a heartfelt wish that Carole is now reunited with their mother, stating, “I hope you are with Mom now, and the two of you are laughing.”
The news of Carole’s passing prompted an outpouring of support from Beauvais’s friends and acquaintances. Notable figures such as Viola Davis, Holly Robinson Peete, and Kiki Barth offered their condolences, reflecting the widespread impact Beauvais and her family have had on those around them.
Shortly after posting the tribute, Beauvais reposted the image on her Instagram Stories, reiterating the message of loss and love, stating, “My beautiful sister, I will miss you so much,” as she continued to process her grief.
Beauvais, who is the youngest of seven siblings, has previously opened up about her familial relationships, particularly during the reunion for ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ season 11 in 2021. Her journeys on reality television have allowed her to share glimpses into her personal life, but also steered her to pursue new opportunities away from the show.
In early 2025, Beauvais announced her departure from the reality series after five seasons. Reflecting on her experience, she described it as a “wild ride” but expressed a desire to spend more time with her sons and focus on new projects. She acknowledged the platform the show provided her, saying it introduced her to a brand-new audience, but admitted that her connection to it had diminished over time.
As she navigates this challenging period of grief, it is evident that the cherished memories with Carole will continue to hold a special place in her heart. Through her heartfelt tribute, Beauvais reminds us of the enduring bonds of family and the importance of celebrating loved ones while they are still with us.
