Guy Glanville

Guy Glanville was the father of Brandi Glanville, the television personality best known for her years on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. He died on October 10, 2026, at the age of 77. Outside of his daughter's fame, Guy Glanville was not a public figure in his own right, and most of what is known about him comes from Brandi's own accounts of their relationship across more than a decade of reality television and social media.

Guy and his wife, Judith, raised three children together: Brandi, Tricia and Michael. For much of Brandi's adult life and television career, her relationship with her father was difficult and, at times, openly estranged. The two had a public falling out after Guy agreed to appear alongside Brandi on Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars Family Edition in 2018, his first time on television. Brandi later said that after the episodes aired, the pair stopped speaking, and she said publicly that she did not fully understand the reasons behind the rift.

The estrangement did not last. Father and daughter reconciled around 2020, during a period when Brandi was engaged in a public and widely covered feud with fellow Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards. Guy spoke up for his daughter during that controversy, posting a video in which he said that his daughter could be difficult but was not a liar, a moment that was widely reported as evidence the two had patched things up.

Guy Glanville's health had been a source of serious concern for his family in the months before his death. In May 2026, Brandi revealed on social media that her father had been admitted to a hospital's cardiac unit and that he had been there for an extended stretch, describing both of them as going through unexplained medical troubles at the same time and asking her followers to pray for him. No further public updates on his condition were shared between that hospitalization and his death.

Brandi announced her father's death herself, posting on X on October 10, 2026, a short message that read, "My dad died, I'm gutted I hate this life right now." She did not disclose a cause of death, a location, or further circumstances, and no cause has since been made public. The news prompted an outpouring of condolences from friends, fans and fellow reality television personalities, including Real Housewives of New York City's Sonja Morgan, who offered words of sympathy and support. As of this writing, no funeral or memorial service details have been made public.
