'It's Hard When Your Kid Is Sick': 'Entourage' Star Kevin Connolly Says That His Newborn Daughter Contracted COVID-19
This new dad is going through a scary situation. Entourage star Kevin Connolly is opening up about how his new born baby daughter ended up being hospitalized for COVID-19.
The 47-year-old-actor, who welcomed his baby girl Kennedy Cruz with partner Zulay Henao recently in June, appeared on the latest episode of Victory The Podcast where he sadly explained how he recently became sick with COVID-19 even though he is fully vaccinated. But luckily because he had gotten the vaccine, his symptoms were "brutal" but "manageable".
But perhaps the most heartbreaking part of it was the fact that his new baby girl also contracted the virus. He explained, "It's been hard. It's hard when your kid is sick, you know? Because there's really nothing you can do. But she's doing great. It's just the congestion part, but the fever is down and we're all back on the road to recovery."
Although it has been a "rough week" for his little family, the actor says that his 42-year-old girlfriend has not tested positive.
