Audi's child was indeed born prematurely. He was born before reaching 8 months of gestation. Despite being born prematurely, this little one, who is called Anzel, has complete and healthy organs. This makes Audi and Anthony very grateful.

"But we are very grateful that baby Anzel has all his organs good and healthy. But he still needs to be monitored in the NICU. So, mama can't hold him directly yet," said the 25-year-old actress.

2. Can't Hug Yet

Currently, Anzel is still being treated in an incubator. Audi is asking for prayers so that her baby can recover quickly and be brought home.

"Sorry, uncle and auntie, I can't show you Bao Bao's condition online yet because he is still being treated in an incubator. Please pray, friends. Bao Bao or Anzel can stay healthy and strong so that he can come home quickly. And be taken care of directly by his mommy and daddy," Audi concluded.

3. Remember Mother's Message

The birth of Audi's child colors various moments experienced during the pandemic. In addition, make sure to always #RememberMother'sMessage. Wear a mask, wash hands regularly, limit mobility, avoid crowds, and maintain distance.
