Kalifatidis, who is engaged to fellow reality star Michael Brunelli, described the ordeal as the “scariest 48 hours of our lives”.

“His whole body was completely limp,” she wrote.
“I’ve never felt so sick with fear.
“We rushed to ER.”
She then revealed the baby did a “huge spew” down her sleeve.
“Turns out he had a virus,” she wrote.
“We’re not sure exactly what it was.”
Next, the TV personality wrote that Lucius had returned to full health.
“Within a few hours of being seen by the docs he was back,” she said.
“Feel so lucky to have such amazing care.
“Our docs and nurses are amazing.”
She then shared a photo of Lucius fast asleep with the caption: “Lots of sleep and cuddles.”
Kalifatidis and Brunelli were paired up on the 2019 season of a reality dating show.
They became engaged in 2021 and in September 2022 they announced they were expecting their first child.
Kalifatidis had a difficult pregnancy.
She revealed she had been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, the condition shared by The Princess of Wales during her pregnancies, which causes severe nausea and chronic vomiting.
“I literally didn’t get out of bed for two months,” she shared.
Lucius was born in February 2023.
Announcing his birth on Instagram on February 27, Kalifatidis wrote: Lucius Brunelli. He’s here, he’s perfect.”
