In Season 7 of 90 Day Fiancé, viewers were introduced to Dominican Republic native Anny Francisco and single father Robert Springs, who initially met on Facebook.
The pair became engaged within eight hours of meeting in person, and they ultimately relocated to Florida and married in September 2019.
Anny and Robert have since welcomed two children: Brenda Aaliyah in July 2020 and Adriel Hassan in September 2021.
Tragically, their 7-month-old baby died in April 2022.
During the early hours of April 21, Anny took to social media to announce the death of her son, shocking her followers in the process.
“Today is one of the worst days of my life. My son Adriel Springs died. I am devastated, and my family … life is so hard and difficult,” Anny wrote on Instagram. “I never thought I would lose my son. He was a fighter … his heart couldn’t take it … my heart is broken, it’s a big pain … so difficult.”
It’s unclear what the circumstances were surrounding Anny and Robert’s baby’s death. Other than a brief reference to his heart, the bereaved mother didn’t volunteer any details about Adriel’s cause of death.
In November 2021, Anny shared a photo of Adriel hooked up to an IV via her Instagram story, according to TV Season Spoilers. She shared it was the fourth day her son had been in the hospital and asked followers to pray for him.
“Today he is a little better,” Anny captioned a photo of herself cradling her son, adding that Adriel had been “strong.” However, Anny didn’t provide specifics about his medical issues at that time, either.
