‘Summer House’ alum Danielle Olivera gives birth 10 weeks early, baby placed in NICU
Danielle Olivera announced that she gave birth to her baby boy, Aidan, 10 weeks early.
On Father’s Day Sunday, the “Summer House” alum took to Instagram to share that she and her boyfriend, Eoin Heavey, had become parents — but had a long road ahead of them with their son in the NICU.
“Aidan Santos Heavey born June 21, 2026 – 10 weeks early – longest day of the year both solstice wise and for mum and dad,” they wrote in a statement.
“He’s heading to summer camp at NICU for his first 2/3 months in this world but mum and dad can’t wait to bring him home hopefully soon,” the new parents added.
The couple said Aidan translates to “fiery one” or “bringer of fire” and praised Olivera for how “Amazing” she did after getting contractions and being rushed to the hospital’s emergency room.
The “Winter House” alum, 37, and Heavey then praised the medical professionals at Stony Brook Medicine in New York City, saying they were “mesmerized by the miracles they perform on a daily basis.”
“Dad was a nervous, terrified, sobbing mess but couldn’t ask for a better first Father’s Day,” they concluded.
The post included an image of a glass cup that read, “Promoted to Dad,” and a snap of Olivera looking at her newborn son as he lay in the incubator.
Olivera and Heavey announced on Instagram that they were expecting their first child together in May.
“Baby Heavey on the way 🐣✨🥹,” she captioned the post, which included an image of her cradling her bump as Heavey stood behind her.
The pair began dating last year and in January, they told Bravo that they met “a long time ago.”
“We both moved to New York around the same time, kind of after college, and we would have overlapped a little bit in regards to friend groups or parties back then. And we did meet back then,” Heavey explained.
“But I moved, I was living down in Miami for the last year, and moved back up at the start of this year,” he continued. “And we reconnected then. And it’s been what, now it’s been nine months?”
Olivera shared the “heartbreaking decision” in June 2024 that she wouldn’t be a full-time cast member on the ninth season of “Summer House.”
The “In the City” star was on the hit Bravo show for seven seasons.
