“90 Day Fiancé” stars Kenny Niedermeier and Armando Rubio have confirmed that their daughter, Hannah, is recovering after undergoing surgery for a brain bleed. Niedermeier, who has been at a Phoenix, Arizona, hospital with the 13-year-old, stated on Instagram Friday that she came out of the procedure “very well.” The medical emergency occurred after Rubio noted Hannah’s face appeared “droopy” and half her body “had no strength.”
Medical Timeline and Current Condition
The health crisis began in Mexico. According to Rubio, the local medical facilities in their small town lacked the necessary diagnostic equipment to address Hannah’s sudden symptoms. She was initially transferred by ambulance to an Arizona medical facility before being airlifted to the state’s capital.
While doctors have conducted an MRI, Rubio reported that the initial scan provided no clear answers regarding the cause of the brain bleed. The medical team previously discussed performing an angioplasty, a procedure that would require sedating the teenager, to further investigate the issue. Niedermeier, who was in Ohio for a family funeral when the emergency started, has been at the bedside alongside Rubio’s mother to support Hannah through the treatment process.
Did you know?
Fans of the couple have rallied to support the family’s medical expenses, raising over $146,000 via a GoFundMe campaign. Rubio has publicly thanked the donors, calling them “angels” for their contribution during a difficult time.
Border Restrictions and Parental Separation
The family’s situation is complicated by immigration hurdles preventing Rubio from entering the United States. Rubio told Page Six that he was turned away at the border after his request for temporary humanitarian parole was denied. He stated that a US Customs and Border Protection supervisor informed him that such paroles had not been granted since 2025.
“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,” Rubio said. The physical separation has forced Rubio to rely on digital updates and communication with Niedermeier to stay informed about his daughter’s status.
