The son of former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes has lost 100 pounds, and he is sharing the news on Instagram. On January 15, 2023, Brentt Leakes posted some photos of himself after he was able to lose an incredible amount of weight.
“Focus on you until The focus is you,” Brentt Leakes captioned his Instagram post, adding the hashtag “#100poundsdown.”
The weight loss comes just three months after Brentt Leakes was hospitalized — doctors discovering that he had suffered a stroke. At the time, NeNe Leakes took to her Instagram Stories to provide a small update to fans.
“He’s only 23, so he’s really young for something like that to happen to him,” NeNe Leakes said. “It was very scary. I don’t even want to go into details of what happened and how I found out and what condition he was in. Obviously a stroke is a very serious thing and so he’s struggling with speaking and it’s, I don’t know,” she explained.
Brentt Leakes has been released from the hospital, has been doing physical therapy, and has been working on getting himself healthy ever since. He appears to be having great success on his new journey.
