‘90 Day Fiance’ star shares major update on 13-year-old daughter after alarming medical emergency
“90 Day Fiancé” star Armando Rubio emotionally shared that his daughter, Hannah, has been discharged from an Arizona hospital after suffering a brain bleed.
In a three-part video on Instagram Monday, Rubio — who initially wasn’t able to cross the border from Mexico to be with her — said that Hannah’s condition greatly improved after he was finally able to be by her side.
“I’m actually very happy, very just thrilled, and just my heart is so full to let you guys know that Hannah has been released from the hospital, which is the best news we could have right now,” Rubio said.
His husband, Kenneth Neidermeier, added that Hannah, 13, was “very happy” to be leaving the hospital.
“Ever since Armando got here, oh my God, she has just gotten better and better and gone leaps and bounds,” he noted. “The doctors were so happy with her progress that they said, ‘Now, I think she would do better with you guys in a home setting.’”
Hannah is not in the clear yet, as she has to stay in the Phoenix area for another month so doctors can supervise her. Doctors still have no idea what caused Hannah’s brain bleed, and Rubio noted that her having no diagnosis was “unsettling.”
The teen is now taking anti-seizure medication and still has blindness in part of her eye, and will need to go to rehab to strengthen the muscles in her face.
The couple profusely thanked fans and their fellow “90 Day Fiancé” cast-mates for all their support throughout the ordeal, noting that Rubio would never have gotten to go to the US if it wasn’t for their fans fighting on their behalf to bring attention to their situation.
Rubio has been updating fans after Hannah, 13, became suddenly ill last week and had to be taken to a hospital in Arizona since their small town in Mexico didn’t have the proper testing equipment.
Half of Hannah’s face was “droopy” and half her body had no strength, and she ended up having to be airlifted to an intensive care unit at a hospital in Phoenix after doctors said she had a brain bleed.
Making matters worse, Rubio initially wasn’t allowed to cross the US borderto be with his daughter after his request for a temporary humanitarian parole was denied. However, he was able to enter Arizona Saturday, reuniting with Hannah and Neidermeier, who was by her side while Rubio could not be.
Rubio later broke down in tears while thanking Neidermeier. The couple, who have been married since May 2021, have been “90 Day Fiancé” fan favorites since making their debut in Season 2 of “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way.” Cameras captured Niedermeier moving to Mexico to be with Rubio after the two connected through a Facebook group for gay dads.
Rubio shared of his husband (who himself is a father of four), “This is why I married him because I knew he was an amazing dad, that’s when I fell in love with him.”
“And he proved it. He proved it last week why I made the best decision of my life, why he’s my best friend, why he’s the love of my life, why he’s an amazing father to Hannah. I’m just blessed.”
Rubio told Page Six last week that he and his immigration attorney were pursuing a separate emergency request to enter the US so that he could see Hannah.
“Every parent wants to be at their child’s bedside when they’re sick, and not being able to hold her hand or comfort her has been the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced,” he told us. “It feels like we’ve been separated when she needs her dad the most.”
He added, “I am doing everything within my power to be reunited with her because, more than anything, she needs her daddy, and I need to be with my little girl.”
