Three years after The Queen of Versailles debuted and polarized viewers, Jackie and David lost their daughter, Victoria, to a drug overdose. She was just 18 years old. 

The grieving parents decided to speak out about addiction and the opioid epidemic so Victoria did not die "in vain."

Following Victoria's passing, David and Jackie created the Victoria's Voice Foundation. They also published Victoria's diary entries in Victoria's Voice, and they spread further awareness in a documentary, The Princess of Versailles. 

Unfortunately, the couple shares a tragic bond with Below Deck staple Captain Lee Rosbach. In the summer of 2019, Captain Lee announced that his son, Joshua Rosbach, had died at the age of 42 from an accidental overdose. 

Though Captain Lee has largely remained stoic about his son's passing (he did get emotional with chief steward Francesca Rubi earlier on in Season 8), Jackie and David connected with him about the tragedies they've gone through.

Jackie shared that, when David Siegel saw Captain Lee on the bridge shortly after getting on the boat, he immediately offered his condolences. Jackie thought her group was about to "get kicked off the show" because they had been told not to bring it up.

"My husband then told Captain Lee that we lost our daughter too," Jackie said about the moment that broke the ice. "All of a sudden, they started bonding and they kept talking and talking. Captain Lee opened up, and it made him feel better to know that he wasn't alone and isolated... It helped my husband as well, from man to man, having that conversation. They're on the same level. They just bonded and talked like every night, even after everyone went to bed. It was very emotional."

She added that her husband is still "in touch" with Captain Lee, and that they forged a strong friendship on the show.

Jackie mentioned that there's another Below Deck crew member she wants to stay in contact with — because she wants to get her a job at Versailles.
