90 Day Fiance star Loren Brovarnik and her husband, Alexei Brovarnik, welcomed their second child earlier this week. Fans have been anticipating the arrival of Shai's little brother, who they adorably nicknamed "Babyboten."
But the family's happy moment is somehow clouded by concern when their newborn baby had to stay in the NICU for several days. And it seems the separation is already taking a toll on Loren.

On Monday, August 16, Loren Brovarnik gave birth to her and Alexei Brovarnik's second son. The 90 Day Fiance couple shared the happy news on social media, much to everyone's delight.

90 Day Fiance Star To Take Social Media Break
It seems that being separated from Babyboten is too much for Loren Brovarnik to handle, which is very understandable. The 90 Day Fiance celeb admitted she's "going through a really hard time" at the moment.
Loren decided to take a break from social media this weekend. The reality star is eager to "disconnect" and just focus on her family, especially Babyboten.
Loren Brovarnik is also looking forward to a much-needed me-time. The Pillow Talk star will use her short break to take care of her family and herself.
Loren's husband, Alexei Brovarnik, fully supports her decision to step away from social media for a bit. The doting husband steps up and lets his wife take a rest — all while waiting for Babyboten to come home.
