Bret Baier’s 16-year-old son Paul recovered after emergency open-heart surgery: How is he now?

After a 10-hour procedure, the teen athlete son of Bret Beier had a golf ball-sized aneurysm removed.

It was incredibly devastating when Fox News anchor Bret Baier described the emotional journey leading up to his teenage son’s emergency open heart surgery. After what began as a common cold turned into a potentially fatal diagnosis.

Last year, his 16-year-old son Paul Baier, a standout player on the varsity tennis and golf teams, had his fifth open heart surgery after doctors in Washington, D.C., found a golf ball-sized aneurysm that was on the verge of rupturing.

In an exclusive interview with People, Paul said, “I’m so grateful to have my life.” In just five hours, a lot can change.
