Danielle Olivera has officially entered motherhood — and staying positive after welcoming her first child 10 weeks early.

The news was officially released by the Summer House alum’s boyfriend, Eoin Heavey, who announced on Father's Day via an Instagram carousel post that their son, Aidan Santos Heavey, was born prematurely on June 21. While the newborn will spend the next few months in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), the couple reassured fans that he is safe and already showing strength.

Sharing the news, Heavey admitted he was a "nervous, terrified, sobbing mess" during his child's birth, but "couldn’t ask for a better first Father’s Day." He even thanked the "incredible staff" at Stony Brook Medical and said, "We are mesmerized by the miracles they perform on a daily basis."
