90 Day Fiancé: What Does Biniyam Shibre & Ariela Weinberg’s Son Aviel Look Like Today?
Biniyam Shibre and Ariela Weinberg’s son, Aviel Shibre, has grown significantly since his appearance in 90 Day Fiancé season 9. The couple’s story began before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biniyam and Ariela met in Ethiopia and fell in love, resulting in Ariela’s pregnancy. While unsure, Ariela and Biniyam decided to televise their journey in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2. They filmed their struggles and their son’s birth, letting viewers witness their unique and culturally diverse story. The couple continued to be featured on TV, navigating financial problems and trust issues.
In 2021, Biniyam and Ariela achieved one of their biggest milestones. They moved to the United States, hoping to tie the knot and build a family. Despite many issues and family arguments, Biniyam and Ariela learned to trust and support each other. They also started compromising for the sake of their relationship and their son, Aviel. 90 Day Fiancé season 9 featured Biniyam and Ariela’s journey toward the wedding aisle. The season showcased the couple tying the knot and settling in the United States. Biniyam and Ariela are set to make their latest appearance in 90 Day: The Last Resort.
Ariela Moved To Ethiopia To Give Birth To Aviel
Biniyam and Ariela’s greatest achievement is their adorable son, Aviel. The couple put in a lot of effort to give their child the best life possible, even before he was born.
When Ariela got pregnant, she returned to the United States for prenatal care to ensure her baby would have everything he needed and the ideal environment to grow. However, she also understood Biniyam’s feelings and knew that it was important for him to be present for the birth so that he could be by his son’s side as they welcomed him into the world.
During the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off, Ariela wasn’t confident about moving to Ethiopia to give birth to Aviel. However, she pushed herself for Biniyam’s sake and flew back to his home country. Initially, Ariela wasn’t impressed with Biniyam’s arrangements for her. She hated the small apartment, the bedroom, and the decorations. Ariela also disliked the toilet, which had no seat and smelled like mold. Despite being disappointed, Ariela kept a smile on her face as she explained to Biniyam that she didn’t like the apartment. She asked him to find a better place, and he agreed to do so.
Aviel Was Born In December 2019
Aviel’s birth was also full of ups and downs for Biniyam and Ariela. In December 2019, they visited an Ethiopian hospital for a routine pregnancy checkup. They learned that their child would be arriving sooner than expected and asked the doctor about the process. The doctors informed them that the New Jersey native would not be able to deliver the baby normally and would need to have a cesarean section. As expected, Ariela was scared and unprepared for this unexpected turn of events. She became frightened and exclaimed, “I’m not ready!”
Fortunately, Ariela’s C-section delivery went smoothly. She couldn’t remember much of the operation but was glad to wake up beside her baby. Ariela described her experience and said, “it’s amazing, it’s shocking, it’s, so I don’t have no words to describe this feeling.” Like Ariela, Biniyam felt overjoyed about seeing his sons. He was also glad that Ariela was safe and healthy. Biniyam and Ariela’s son, Aviel, came into this world on December 17, 2019. The couple’s pregnancy and c-section were featured in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 2 a few months later.
What Ariela & Biniyam’s Son’s Name ‘Aviel’ Means
Ariela and Biniyam’s first decision as parents was to name their baby. They thought a lot about it and eventually called him Aviel. Ariela later revealed the reason behind picking such a rare name. She talked to US Weekly and said, “felt that a baby with such a unique story like our own needed more of a unique name.” Ariela explained that Aviel is a “Hebrew” word that means “God is my father.” She admitted that she and Biniyam both loved the name. The couple usually refer to their son as “Avi.”
Ariela Regretted Aviel’s Circumcision
While Biniyam and Ariela did a good job raising their child, they also had regrets. In 2020, Ariela admitted that she regretted agreeing to have Aviel circumcised. The scene showed her looking sad as she heard her son crying in pain.
She felt terrible about the whole process and confessed to feeling like a “bad” mother. Ariela expressed (via 90 Day Fiancé), “I feel like I made the wrong decision for him.” Ariela and Biniyam’s issues worsened because they disagreed about their baby. Biniyam felt that Ariela lacked confidence in him and worried about the longevity of their relationship.
Aviel Could Be Interested In Pursuing A Career In Modeling
Over the past few years, Aviel has started to resemble his father, Biniyam, both in terms of his activity level and his love of traveling with his mother.
In September 2024, Ariela’s photographer, Anthony Louis, shared Aviel’s latest modeling photo shoot on social media. The photographer titled the post, “I think your next model just showed up! Bringing all the swagger and style, ready to take the runway.”Ariela seemed excited to see her son modeling at such a young age and responded to the post by commenting, “you really captured his essence!”
Aviel Will Turn Five In 2024
In a short span of years, Aviel has grown remarkably. At four years old in November 2024, he already shows an appreciation for fashion and familial love.
With his fifth birthday approaching in December 2024. Ariela and Biniyam are likely planning another fantastic celebration for him, as they do every year. Despite this, there are rumors of a possible split between Biniyam and Ariela behind the scenes. If these rumors prove true, it could profoundly affect Aviel as he navigates his parents’ divorce at such a tender age. Hopefully, the rumors of the 90 Day Fiancé couple’s split are false.
