Leeya Eliana Shapiro Early Life & Heart Diagnosis

Born on January 28, 2014, in Los Angeles, California, Leeya entered the world with a rare genetic heart defect known as an atrial septal defect, which caused a hole between the upper chambers of her heart.

The diagnosis came as a shock to her parents, Ben and Mor Shapiro, who have intentionally kept their children’s details private due to safety concerns arising from Ben’s high-profile career.

In 2019, the family faced the terrifying ordeal of receiving death threats, but thankfully, the perpetrator was apprehended, allowing them to find solace and security once again.

Leeya’s medical condition required immediate attention. At just 18 months old, she underwent open-heart surgery in August 2015. The procedure, performed by the same skilled surgeon who had operated on Jimmy Kimmel’s son, was a success, correcting the defect that had threatened her well-being.

Leeya’s remarkable resilience and the love and support of her family have allowed her to embrace her childhood with joy and enthusiasm. Despite enduring a challenging start in life, she is now relishing her time with her parents, younger brother, and two other siblings in their Los Angeles home.

As Leeya started her educational journey, she graduated from preschool/nursery school and attended one of Los Angeles’s most prestigious elementary schools until her family relocated to Florida.

At the age of 10, Leeya is still exploring the world, dreaming of the possibilities that lie ahead. She doesn’t have a defined career path yet, as she is rightfully focused on enjoying her formative years and discovering her passions.
