So, what happened to Tinsley's father?
Tinsley’s father, George Riley Mercer, Jr., passed away at the age of 68 in March 2015. The socialite and her dad seemingly had a good relationship.
For Father’s Day last year, the reality star posted an old picture with her pops. "This pic of me taking a look up at my dad at our youth house is my most favourite," she captioned the image. "Happy Father’s day Daddy! We all miss you such a lot!"
Two seasons ago, fans also watched as Tinsley's mom travelled to New York with her late father's ashes, prompting some viewers to feel uncomfortable.
Tinsley went on to clarify the situation on her Bravo blog. "I had now not observed my mother since Thanksgiving in Palm Beach, so I was very excited when she got here to NYC to look me. We are extremely close, so I all the time love being with her. It was once arduous to look her tearing up over my dad who died two years ago, but my sister Dabney, my mother, and I nonetheless cannot consider he's not right here," she explained.
"It would possibly appear atypical to a couple, however we really like having his ashes with our family. We simply don't seem to be able to bury him yet. Dad travels to Palm Beach for the iciness and to Newport for the summer with occasional stops in Virginia. It's simply great still having him around."
