'90 Day Fiancé' Star Robert 'Knew' Wife Anny Was Pregnant Before She Did
90 Day Fiancé Season 7 cast members Anny Francisco and Robert Springs originally met on Facebook. "First time I saw a photo I was like, 'Yo, shorty is poppin'. She's lit," American-born Springs said on the hit TLC show.
They video chatted for a bit before Springs decided to book a cruise to Francisco's hometown of Santiago, Dominican Republic. The pair only knew one another for eight hours when he popped the question and proposed.
"It was the best eight hours of my life," Springs said.
Francisco left the Dominican Republic to join Springs in Florida and the pair wed within the requisite 90 days. Shortly after, they had two children, a daughter, Brenda Aaliyah, and a son, Adriel Hassan. Tragically, Adriel passed away at just seven months old due to heart complications.
Now the couple is expecting another baby, a son, due in November 2024. "It's a blessing in disguise. We didn't plan for another baby, and baby's on the way. So we're both happy, and we're pleased about the baby," the dad-to-be told Parade exclusively.

This pregnancy has been bittersweet for them after the loss of their son. "You don't want to relive the past," he said. "As a husband, I can't feel life growing in me. But my wife can, and her emotions is different from mine."

Now, in her third trimester, Francisco is still experiencing anxiety around this pregnancy. "In the beginning, it was a little rough because my wife was really cautious about losing a newborn," Springs recalled.
To mitigate those fears, Francisco and Springs have been seeking additional medical testing. "Our son that we previously lost had a medical condition that he was born with that we did not know," he explained. "So this time around, we want to check the baby before baby arrives."
To support his wife as she grows their latest addition, Springs is sure to supply her with all of her biggest pregnancy cravings. This time around, she's been all about some ice cream and, of course, the Dominican delicacy, tostones. "If there's no tostones, it's not a meal," he joked.
Springs has been highly in tune with his wife's body this time around. In fact, he knew she was pregnant before she did. "I told her she was pregnant before she even mentioned it," Springs said.
"My wife didn't have to tell me anything," he continued. "Once I was hearing the throwing up, getting up middle of the night, early in the morning, puking, I knew. I acted like I didn't know, but I knew."
The pair's 4-year-old daughter Brenda Aaliyah is excitedly prepping to be a big sister once again. "My daughter is extremely excited," Springs said. "She knows mommy's body is different. She knows mommy's belly is big. She knows someone is in there because she's now seeing the moving. She's paying attention to that. She kisses the belly a lot. She hugs the belly. So she's going to be a sweet big sister."
