The son of former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes has recently returned home from a harrowing health scare in September 2022.


Her younger son Brentt Leakes, 23, had a life-changing — and nearly life-ending — ordeal after suffering both congestive heart failure and a stroke.

Leakes expressed elation to her four million Instagram followers as she filmed her son walking out of the hospital on his own power after a month. He’s still working to regain full use of all of his faculties, but she is nevertheless grateful.

“Two weeks ago today Brentt had congestive heart failure and a stroke. He’s only 23, so he’s really young for something like that to happen to him,” she said in the carousel of IG stories.

Leakes continued her commentary:

“He’s only 23, so he’s really young for something like that to happen to him. Obviously, a stroke is a very serious thing and so he’s struggling with speaking and it’s … I don’t know.” 

Brentt Leakes also celebrated his exodus from the hospital’s ICU and return home on his IG page.

“I’m back at my house! I’m back inside.”
