Hanratty shares her son with husband Christian DeAnda.

“And at first the news was obviously shocking because it doesn’t run in my family, it doesn’t run in my husband’s family,” she continued. “And the biggest thing that we all want is that we want our kids to be happy and we want our kids to be healthy.”

Hanratty went on to say that finding out her son will be going through several surgeries so soon after he is born was tough, but she’s thankful to have found wonderful specialists to work with.
