“Wow. We had a scary weekend! Matt (the kiddos dad) suffered a heart attack Saturday! He’s only 40 years old!!” Gina wrote on March 18, recounting the terrifying ordeal. “Thank god Britt rushed him to the hospital and all the hospital staff acted quickly,” she continued, expressing gratitude for Matt’s wife, Britt, who played a crucial role in getting him to medical help in time.

The heart attack was a terrifying wake-up call for Gina, who noted that the entire family, including their three children—Sienna, 11, Nicholas, 12, and Luca, 9—were shaken by the event.

The scare has led Gina and her family to reassess their lifestyles. “We will all be changing our lifestyle and leaning into the healthy bc being there for our kids is the only thing that matters,” she wrote. It’s clear that this experience has shifted her focus on prioritizing wellness for the sake of their family’s future.

Gina also took a moment to send a powerful message about co-parenting, reminding her followers that despite the challenges of divorce, the well-being of their children is the ultimate priority. “For anyone out there struggling to co-parent, remember you are all a family and what matters most is that you all get to be there for your kids. Tomorrow is not promised, today is a gift.”

Gina's going to make this her whole storyline, probably brought camera's to the hospital.

I can relate, so my heart goes out to him, no pun intended. Little does he know his life has changed forever (physically and mentally) ... they don't tell you that. He's obviously in great shape (and young), so I suspect his heart condition is probably hereditary, which is actually the worst kind (like mine).

Why do these women have to plaster this sort of personal even all over social media, complete with pictures of the patient in the hospital, including his kids sitting next to him and smiling. If she felt the world needed to know this (not sure why), a mention would have been fine. But the hospital pictures and with the kids? C'mon. Have some dignity.

Not even gonna mention the potential elephant in the room but I’m glad he survived and hope he will continue to do in abundance. Those kids have been through enough with those two. ?

Glad he's okay. I think he said he had a drug problem at one time in his life and that may have been a contributing factor. Very scary for all of them.
