Akinyi Obala Health Update Leaves Fans Hanging
90 Day Fiance stars Akinyi Obala and her husband Benjamin Taylor, finally conceived their first baby together, but she soon ran into health problems. An update arrived, but it left out some things that fans want to know.
The Medical Tests
While Baby Rue seemed fine, her mom wasn’t thriving. Since early March, on her social media account, Akinyi complained about mastitis. Well, she tried home remedies, and that didn’t help her at all. So, she ended up in a hospital.
The TLC star seemed upset at the hospital. TV Season Spoilers reported on March 22, 2025, that Benjamin sat nearby while she expressed some bloody milk. Alarmingly, in the caption overlay of one photo, Akinyi said that doctors did “a biopsy” on her breast.
An Update Arrived
On Monday, Ben shared a picture of himself wearing a shirt that is commonly found in Hawaii. In his caption, he wrote, “Starting the week dreaming of being on the beach. I even have the #hawaiian shirt to match it!!”

Naturally, as fans seemed desperate for news, people asked after Akinyi Obala in the comments section. After all, a breast biopsy is a big deal. In the replies, he promised his TLC fans that he would do an update, but in the meantime, he wrote, “[Akinyi’s] doing okay, hope to post an update later.”
A Vlog Update Followed
The vlog arrived on Tuesday night, and clearly, Akinyi wasn’t as “okay” as Ben suggested. In fact, her breasts are still heavily “engorged,” she said. Plus, they are extremely painful, even to just touch. Anyway, she’s been put on “antibiotics,” so that indicates an infection.
In the video, Akinyi Obala wore a mask, saying that she also had “cold” symptoms and she didn’t want Benjamine Taylor or Rue to get sick. However, neither of them mentioned the result of the biopsy, which was the burning question. Either they await the results, or it came back negative for cancer.
Fans Reacted In The Comments Section
Fans who cheered for the couple, who expected their baby at the same time as Annie Suwan, joined in the conversation in the comments area.
One of them wrote, “I am so sorry you are going through all of that, praying for you for a speedy recovery! I think you have allergies!”
More followed, including, “I pray you get better soon…Yes, please take precautions with the flu like symptoms
My baby is 6 weeks and my baby caught a cold from her dad. he was sneezing and coughing…”
Here’s another opinion: “I can’t imagine how it feels to have this going on with your breastfeeding. I’m sending positive energy your way, and I pray this will be solved very soon.”
If we hear an update about the outcome of the biopsy, we will be sure to let you know. So, check back with us often for all the news about the 90 Day Fiance cast.
