Before she gave birth to her son, she posted a TikTok video in the fall and shared that her baby boy would be born with a cleft lip.
“I thought I would share our latest update that our baby is going to have a cleft lip and a possible cleft palate,” Hanratty said in the video. “The biggest thing that we all want is that we want our kids to be happy and we want our kids to be healthy.”
Since welcoming her son, the actress shared that the little one underwent surgery at the beginning of February. “The surgeon did such an amazing job! It was a three-hour surgery and it was absolutely terrifying but our little one is so strong!” Hanratty shared on Instagram at the time.

The proud mom told PEOPLE shortly after the surgery that he was recovering well. Then at the Yellowjackets season 3 premiere on Thursday, Feb. 13, she exclusively told PEOPLE, “Being a mom is amazing, but being his mom is what I’m meant to be.”
“Honestly, he is literally the embodiment of prayers and dreams into a person,” Hanratty told PEOPLE.
“He’s just the greatest gift in the world,” she continued. “I am so obsessively in love with him. It is the best.”

She also told PEOPLE that it was “very difficult” to film the third season of the Showtime series while pregnant. “In those moments, being able to overcome it and be like, ‘Damn, I literally just had an extremely difficult pregnancy and I did the show, I feel very proud and accomplished,’ that’s absurd.”
” I tried to cover it with my posture. I was just wearing a lot of bigger clothes, bigger pants and all these things.” Hanratty concluded, “It was very interesting.”
