Amber Eggers, known for her appearance on We TV’s "Love After Lockup," has died at the age of 41. She passed away on Thursday after being hospitalized in Atlanta, as confirmed by her mother, Monica Eggers, to TMZ. Monica Eggers stated that her daughter had been admitted several days prior after feeling unwell. Doctors were unable to maintain her heart function, and she ultimately died from acute liver failure.
We TV released a statement expressing sadness over Eggers' passing, describing her as an "original and unforgettable member" of the show. The statement highlighted her courage and authenticity in sharing her life story. Friends also paid tribute to Eggers on social media, with one friend stating, "Amber Eggers has lost her fight today and passed away," and acknowledging the efforts of the medical team.
In May 2025, Amber’s sister, Erin, initiated a GoFundMe campaign after Amber was hospitalized with severe pneumonia and a bacterial infection. Erin described Amber as "one of the kindest and most big-hearted people you could ever meet" and requested support for her sister's recovery. Amber was later moved out of intensive care and began physical therapy.
On "Love After Lockup," viewers followed Amber’s relationship with Vincent Gonzalez, whom she began dating while serving a four-year prison sentence for drug trafficking. The couple got engaged during the show but eventually separated after her release. Amber also made appearances in subsequent seasons of the franchise and its spinoff, "Life After Lockup."
