Danielle Olivera is embracing motherhood while looking ahead to the future with boyfriend Eoin Heavey.
The “In The City” cast member recently welcomed her first child with Heavey, a son named Aidan Santos Heavey. Just weeks before the Bravo star gave birth, Olivera spoke with Bravo Insider about their relationship, sharing that marriage remains part of their future plans but is not currently a priority.
“I think that we know we will eventually get married,” Olivera said.
For now, the couple is focused on becoming parents.
“But I just think that at the moment, it’s like, ‘OK, let’s be parents first. And good ones,'” she explained. “He’s still going through his divorce. Right now, I’m just happy where we are…I’m OK with where we’re at.”
Olivera also revealed that becoming pregnant changed her perspective on having children.
“It’s a crazy thing because I always thought, you know, not for me. Maybe I’m not quite the nurturing or excited to be pregnant kind of type,” she said. “But now that I’m in it. I’m just like, ‘This is amazing.’ I wanna have so many kids.”

Once the pregnancy was confirmed, Olivera said Heavey immediately embraced the journey.
“He was just so, so excited, and he’s been such a good partner throughout,” she said. “Like I’m growing, things are uncomfortable, I’m hungry all the time. I like my sweets and he’s been so great at like, ‘I’ll get it. I’ll do it.'”

On June 21, Olivera and Heavey announced the arrival of their son on Instagram.

“He’s heading to summer camp at NICU for the first 2/3 months in this world but mom and dad can’t wait to bring him home hopefully soon.”
Heavey also explained the meaning behind their son’s name.
“Fitting for his mom, Aidan translates to ‘fiery one’ or ‘bringer of fire’ and she was nothing short of amazing after getting contractions at 10pm on Friday, going to emergency room at 3am in Southampton, then getting transferred by ambulance to Stony Brook for a further 24 hours.”
Thanking the staff at Stony Brook, Heavey admitted the experience was emotional.
“I was a nervous, terrified, sobbing mess,” he wrote, adding that he “couldn’t ask for a better first Father’s Day.”
Olivera later shared a black-and-white photo with her newborn son and wrote on Instagram Stories, “Here early but safe and we couldn’t be happier.”
