A woman who went viral for spending less than $47 on her wedding dress has died during childbirth at 32 years old.

Kiara Brokenbrough died on March 30 as her son, Jonah, was born. Jonah remains in the NICU and is showing improvement. The Brokenbroughs gained attention in 2022 after celebrating their nuptials with a $500 wedding in Los Angeles.

They kept costs low by hosting fewer than 30 people at their roadside ceremony and having guests go Dutch at the reception. Kiara told the Los Angeles Times they didn't want to go into debt over a wedding. The couple was moving from West Virginia back to California when Kiara unexpectedly died.

Kiara's death came just weeks before the 10th annual Black Maternal Health Week. Black women are three to four times more likely to die during childbirth than any other demographic.
