This article discusses the topic of pregnancy loss.
Anny Francisco and her husband, Robert Springs, were recently faced with the gut-wrenching reality of saying goodbye to Adriel, their 7-month-old son, who died in April. The couple has grieved the loss of their son publicly, sharing many beautiful memories of Adriel's brief time with them.
Fans first got to know Anny on the seventh season of 90 Day Fiancé. She wasn't immediately popular, demanding a lifestyle her partner, Robert, couldn't afford. However, as Anny continues to navigate life's challenges and tragedies with grace and honesty, she's accumulating a huge fan base to cheer her on. Anny has only recently become comfortable sharing her world with her supporters, so there is always something to learn about the dynamic reality star.
Anny Is From The Dominican Republic
Anny grew up in Santiago De Los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. Santiago one of the largest cities on the island--second only to the country's capital of Santo Domingo. The hilltop city, which is in the northern region of the island, is only about an hour away from the picturesque beaches of Puerto Plata.
Anny is not the only 90 Day star who hails from the Dominican Republic. Many memorable cast members, including Molly Hopkins' ex-husband, Luis Mendez, and Pedro Jimeno, who recently filed for divorce from Chantel Everett of The Family Chantel, were born and raised in the DR.
Anny Met Robert Online
Anny met Robert met through a friend and began to communicate online via Facebook. Sparks immediately flew, and they quickly became one of the most heartwarming 90 Day couples. Like Anny and Robert, many 90 Day couples have formed relationships thanks to being set up by mutual friends.
Brandon Gibbs, for instance, was introduced to his wife, Julia Trubkina, when a friend saw her dancing in a Russian nightclub and video chatted Brandon from the club to connect them. Natalie Mordovtseva met her ex-husband, Mike Youngquist, through acquaintances, when they were both slated to be godparents to their friend's new baby.
Anny And Robert's Relationship Moved Fast
It didn't take Anny and Robert long to realize they had a deep connection. After just a few short months of chatting on Facebook, Robert booked a cruise that passed through the Dominican Republic, to meet his online love.
Robert's cruise only stopped in the DR for the day, but he became so overwhelmed with emotion upon meeting Anny in person, that he unexpectedly proposed to her on the spot. She said yes, even without a ring, and they began working on getting her to the US. While Robert's proposal may not seem like one of the best proposals in 90 Day history, he must be commended for following his heart and taking a leap of faith.
Anny Has Taken Up A Unique Sport
Many 90 Day stars have taken up unique sports to stay in shape. Anny is no exception. According to an Instagram post, she's a boxer. She mentions in the post that she takes boxing classes and tagged Filipina actress and martial artist, Rosey Padua, in her caption.
It is likely that Rosey is her boxing coach. Fans are eager to learn if the reality star is still taking classes. Anny also regularly posts images of herself enjoying green smoothies and detox teas to help her reach her health goals. She even appears to sell a detox tea brand, which she's advertised on her socials. Many cast members, like Anny, have been criticized for selling questionable weight-loss products.
Anny And Robert Married In Her New Hometown
Anny and Robert live in Winter Park, Florida, a suburb of Orlando. They tied the knot in September 2019 at The Little Wedding Chapel in Eustis, Florida, just a half hour north of Winter Park. Anny originally wanted a large wedding in Miami. The couple argued over the details, as Robert wanted simple courthouse nuptials. However, they came to an understanding and ended up having beautiful ceremony that they were both happy with.
The bride and groom chose red as their color of choice, with Robert donning a dapper red tux, and Anny holding a beautiful bouquet of red and white roses. The chapel contains both indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces. The indoor space is a quaint church setting, while the outdoor space is covered in lush greenery, an ornate pond, and water features.
Anny Loves The Beach
Growing up in the island country of the Dominican Republic, it's no surprise that Anny loves spending time near the ocean. She regularly posts pictures of herself and her family enjoying the beach, relaxing near the water, and swimming.
Luckily, unlike many cast members who ended up in small, landlocked towns with their partners, Anny joined Robert in Florida. Now she's less than an hour away from many top-tier beaches including Cocoa Beach, a popular tourist attraction. Anny has also mentioned her affinity for cities near large bodies of water. She loves New York and Miami, two cities that boast diverse populations and ocean views.
Anny Loves Her Family
When Anny met Robert his four-year-old son, Bryson, was living with him. Anny and Bryson hit it off, and she immediately assumed the role of loving stepmom to him.
The trio welcomed a new addition to their family in July 2020 when Anny gave birth to a baby girl named Brenda Aaliyah. The couple's family expanded again in September 2021 with the birth of a son, Adriel. Robert was candid with Anny about his children, explaining that he already had five children when he met her. However, Bryson was the only child who was part of his life.
Anny Shares Her Grief With Fans
Anny and Robert experienced an unimaginable heartbreak earlier this year when their youngest child, baby Adriel, died of a heart condition. Anny has leaned on her family and her followers for emotional support during this difficult time.
She regularly posts memories of her short time with her son, and has opened up about the pain of losing him. She calls the day Adriel died "one of the worst days of [her] life." Adriel, who was only 7 months old when he died, is regularly honored on his mother and father's social media accounts. 90 Day Fiancé isn't known for tackling deep issues, but Anny's fans have proven empathetic and supportive while she navigates the grieving process.
Anny Is An Influencer
Anny is quickly earning a spot amongst the 90 Day stars with the largest followings on Instagram. She has gained over 500k Instagram followers as a result of her relatability, transparency, and family-centered content.
However, Anny is also a fierce influencer, cashing in on brand partnerships with clothing boutiques and dietary supplements, to name just a few products. Like many 90 Day stars, she's also on the Cameo app, where fans can request personalized greetings for a fee. Anny's rates start at $50 a message.
Any Is A Leo
Anny was born on August 2nd, making her a Leo, according to the Zodiac. Astrology.com explains that Leo signs want to be the center of attention and enjoy all of life's pleasures.
These traits certainly make sense with Anny's expectations upon moving in with Robert. She wanted the best things money could buy and became frustrated when he couldn't provide them. Leo signs are also strong leaders and can be incredibly generous in nature.
