90 Day Fiance News: Loren Goldstone & Alexei Brovarnik Welcome Baby Shai

90 Day Fiance alums Loren Goldstone Brovarnik and her spouse Alexei Brovarnik’s son Shai was born on April 14, 2020, in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. They affectionally referred to their bundle of joy as “Baby Brov” even after he was born. Then a week later they revealed his name to the public. It is a Jewish custom to wait until a son’s bris to share his name. So the Brovariniks were just keeping to their religious beliefs.

90 Day Fiance followers recall Alexei and Loren’s little prince was originally expected to be born in May. However, the couple revised his due date to mid to late April. But Baby Shai was extremely active and plans changed fast. Although Loren already had a c-section planned, that plan went out the window, and Shai was born via an emergency c-section.

Shai Brovarnik Spent First Few Days Of His Life In NICU

90 Day Fiance newborn Shai Brovarnik’s birth came as a bit of a surprise for his first-time parents. Since Shai arrived a few weeks early, he was placed in the NICU (Newborn Intensive Care Unit). He spent the first 48 hours of his life there. This is standard protocol. However, Loren and Alexei’s son was able to go home with his mother soon after those initial first hours in the NICU.

Originally the 90 Day Fiance and Pillow Talk personalities planned for Loren’s mom, Marlene Goldstone, to move in and live with them once Shai was born. However, the COVID-19 quarantine put a monkey wrench into their plans. So the Brovarniks had to revisit their post-pregnancy strategy. Loren was banking on her mom being there to help her get through the initial few days. She was relying on her help to adjust to motherhood as well as get the rest needed to recover from her c-section.

Fans cannot help but comment on how much Baby Brov looks like his daddy. Although he may resemble his father, Baby Brov certainly has his momma’s mannerisms and facial expressions. He’s the perfect combination of both his doting parents.
