Aidan arrived a surprising ten weeks early, requiring immediate medical care. Following his birth, Olivera took to social media to share her joy and the first images of her newborn son, which were posted on 25 June. This included pictures from her 28-week check-up and a humorous snapshot of two pizzas, cleverly captioned, “Little did I know this would be the last meal I’d have before giving birth.”
Olivera expressed her thoughts in her Instagram post, reflecting on the whirlwind of the past days. She mentioned, “Still processing the last week and then some 🤯 Our little guy just couldn’t wait to meet us. More to come but for now, I’m just so happy he’s here and doing well 💙💙.” The caption was accompanied by a black-and-white image of Olivera and Heavey gazing lovingly at Aidan, summarising their emotion with the note, “Worth every second 💙 Ready for our biggest adventure yet.”
Heavey also shared his delight via Instagram. He described Aidan’s birth in detail, referring to the significance of the day, which is not only marked by the summer solstice but also as a pivotal moment for them as new parents. He expressed their hopes for Aidan, who would initially be spending time in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for the first few months of his life, without which they were optimistic about bringing him home soon.
Heavey elaborated on the choice of Aidan’s name, stating it has Irish roots meaning “fiery one” or “bringer of fire,” which he asserted was fitting given the circumstances surrounding Aidan’s dramatic entrance into the world. He praised Olivera’s resilience throughout her unexpected early labour, recalling how unique the experience had been from the onset of contractions late on a Friday night to a hospital transfer encompassing several hours and locations.
The couple’s friends have been supportive, with fellow cast member Andrea Denver expressing heartfelt congratulations over their joyful news. Denver, also expecting a child with his wife, sent kind words to Olivera and Heavey, highlighting the love and excitement surrounding the new addition to their family.
In previous episodes of “In The City,” Olivera had expressed a desire to expand her family, mentioning her hopes of becoming a mother by the time she reaches 38. Heavey reciprocated her feelings, expressing his enthusiasm for their shared future together as parents.
The journey to parenthood has been described by Olivera as an extraordinary experience, which she looks forward to sharing in more detail soon. In the meantime, she has publicly commended Heavey as her “best partner,” grateful for their strong bond through the trials of early parenthood.
As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, Olivera and Heavey are undoubtedly finding joy in their roles as parents, looking forward to creating lasting memories with little Aidan in the coming months.
