Nene Leakesโ youngest son, Brentt Leakes, hasnโt had it easy for the last couple of years. In addition to losing his father, the 25-year-old has been facing numerous health issues. Most recently, Brentt shared with social media followers that he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure this year.
โTo begin with, let me say, โThank you, God.โ This year was undoubtedly the craziest for me. After several trips to the hospital and many doctors appointments, I finally heard the unexpected news that I was diagnosed with โcongestive Heart Failureโ On June 19 (Ish), ๐,โ he wrote in a caption under an Instagram post. The post was a series of images and videos of Brentt in the hospital recovering from surgery.
The caption continued, โIn July of this year, I went into a 14-hour heart transplant surgery and now have a brand new heart in me. Now that Iโm back (still in recovery), Iโve essentially had to relearn how to walk and communicate, but Iโm even more fluent,โ he wrote. Some of the videos Brentt posted are of him seemingly struggling to walk through the hospital and being assisted by medical professionals.
โThis experience has FOREVER changed my life. I am so thankful to the family that donated the heart! A huge thank you to MY MOM, marshella , Nyoni, Big Janae , Nikiyah, my friends, doctors, nurses, and everyone else who was pushing, pulling and praying me thru thisโค๏ธNever give up. ๐ค๐พ,โ the message concluded.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alumni commented on her youngest sonโs post showing her support.
โTo God Be The Glory! It has been A LOT! I am so proud of how strong youโve been thru this process son โค๏ธ๐๐พโค๏ธ๐๐พโค๏ธ๐๐พ,โ she commented.







This isnโt Brenttโs first time having a health scareโback in 2022, he also suffered congestive heart failure and a stroke. He was only 23 at the time. Shortly after recovering from that traumatic event, Brentt showed fans his 100-pound weight loss.
Just a year prior, in September 2021, the entrepreneur lost his father, Gregg Leakes, to colon cancer at the age of 66.
Weโre glad to see Brentt on the mend and surrounded by all the love he needs to get him back in good health.
