Quad Webb, a well-known reality television star from “Married to Medicine,” faced an unthinkable tragedy this month when her family experienced the loss of her 3-year-old niece due to a drowning incident. The heartbreaking incident occurred on July 7th when Arianna “Ari” Rice, the daughter of Tamica Webb and Quad’s niece, drowned in the pool of their Atlanta home. According to two men present at the scene, they mistook Ari for a floating doll and didn’t notice her falling into the pool.
Quad Webb had a close and affectionate relationship with the little girl, as evidenced by her previous social media posts expressing her love and attachment to Ari. There were reports that Quad had adopted the child in 2020.
In a statement given to TMZ, Quad Webb’s representatives shared, “Quad Webb and her family have endured the loss of two cherished family members within a single week, under separate circumstances. This has been an extremely challenging ordeal for the entire family, and your understanding and support are deeply appreciated.” The statement did not specify the identity of the second family member lost or whether it might have been her brother Quentin, who had passed away earlier in the year.
The tragic incident sparked a variety of responses in the comments section, with some questioning how the girl ended up in the pool and advocating for swimming lessons for children, while others offered prayers and urged against speculation until all the facts are known.
