Heather Gay “couldn’t be prouder.”
On Wednesday, May 28, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City mom took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter Georgia’s latest achievement: graduating from high school. Heather posted several photos of the milestone event, where Georiga posed in her cap and gown alongside her mom and sisters, Annabelle and Ashley.
“She’s a graduate,” Heather captioned the carousel. “Couldn’t be prouder of [Georgia].”
Heather Gay reveals which schools her daughter was accepted to
The ceremony occurred less than a week after the Salt Lake City ‘Wife gave fans an exciting — and quite impressive — update on Georgia’s college admissions journey. Heather reposted a compilation video of Georgia opening her acceptance letters from top-tier schools, including the University of Miami, the University of California-Santa Barbara, the University of California-Irvine, the University of California-Berkley, and the University of California-San Diego.
However, it wasn’t a clean sweep. About halfway through the TikTok video, Georgia received a rejection letter from the University of California-Los Angeles.
“How do you feel?” Heather asked Georgia after about the UCLA decision.
“Horrible,” the Salt Lake City daughter said with a laugh as her little sister, Annabelle, hugged her.
Despite the Bruins L, Heather was clearly over the moon for Georgia and her next chapter: “So proud of my 2024 Graduate. Love you G…,” she captioned the Instagram, followed by the hashtag, “YoureGonnaGoFar.”
Where is Georgia Gay attending college?
So, which school did Georgia ultimately select? According to the Skyline Dance Company, the 18-year-old will begin her freshman year at the University of Miami’s Herbert Business School, where she will major in entrepreneurship.
“Georgia is so excited to continue her education and dance training out in Miami,” Skyline wrote in a May 10 Instagram. “She is so grateful to have been President of Dance Company this year and there’s nothing she will miss more than this team who have all become her best friends!”
Heather Gay reflects on her daughter Ashley’s college life

Heather shared the Georgia update as her oldest daughter, Ashley, finished her junior year at UC Santa Barbara. The Bad Mormon author — who shares her three girls with her ex-husband, Billy Gay — touched on Ashley’s college life in RHOSLC Season 4, Episode 7. One of the scenes captured Heather’s phone call with her firstborn, who had just returned from her spring break getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
“It was so good,” Ashley said about her trip. “Time of my life, I’m still on spring break mode.”
Heather then reflected on her daughter’s college journey and how it was so different from her own.
“I was thinking and seeing the world in a much different way when I was her age,” she explained in an episode interview. “I’ve read my journal, and it’s humiliatingly embarrassing… In many ways, I feel like Ashley is the version of me if I hadn’t been raised in the church.”
