In the City star Danielle Olivera has shared a positive update on her and boyfriend Eoin Heavey’s baby boy Aidan after a two-month stay in the NICU.
“Yesterday Aidan graduated from the NICU after 63 days! He’s finally home 🥹💙 We love you Stony Brook [Hospital], thank you so much for everything,” Olivera, 37, announced via Instagram on Monday, August 24.
Alongside her joyful update, the Summer House alum, 37, and Heavey, 39, posed with Aidan in front of a sign celebrating the boy’s milestone on Sunday, August 23.
“Aidan [has] graduated,” the sign read. “After 63 days in the NICU, it’s time for me to move in with my family on this 23rd day of August, 2026.”
Olivera’s Instagram followers filled her comment section with congratulations on finally getting to bring her little one home.
Summer House star Ciara Miller offered support, writing, “Sooooo sweeettt ❤️❤️”
“Best feeling ever for mom and dad!! Congrats, you finally get to have your baby snuggles at home. As a preemie mom, you’ll never forget this day,” influencer Kristen Knutson commented.
Olivera announced in June that Aidan had a “long road ahead” and would likely have an extended stay in the NICU after he was born 10 weeks early. Heavey likened his and Olivera’s first child’s NICU stay to “summer camp,” revealing his son would probably need 24-hour care for “his first 2/3 months in this world.”
“Baby and parents are doing well,” Olivera wrote via Instagram on June 25. “Overwhelmed by the love and support, thank you all so much!!”
She continued, “I’m still getting through so many of your heartfelt messages and NICU journeys — it means more than you’ll ever know that you’re sharing those with me.”
In July, Olivera confirmed that Aidan was “getting stronger every day” thanks to the round-the-clock care at Stony Brook Medicine in New York.
“To the incredible NICU team at Stony Brook, our family and friends, and every NICU mom who’s reached out with love, advice and hope — thank you. You’ve carried us through more than you’ll ever know,” she wrote via Instagram at the time.
There were positive signs that Aidan’s release was getting closer on August 1 when Olivera and Heavey revealed that their son had grown to “6lbs, 15 oz and 20.5 inches long.”
“Started oral feeds to gradually wean him off the feeding tube. Traded his preemie diapers in for newborn size,” she added. “Loves his amazing nurses who make him feel special and take such good care of him. Currently Daddy’s twin.”
The Bravo star relayed that she and Heavey were able to monitor Aidan even when they were at home thanks to a live feed set up by the NICU care team.
“Thankful we’re able to see him when we’re not there,” she wrote. “Thank you all for your support. Keep you posted on when we’re able to take him home! So proud of our smiley little legend.”
