Erin McNaught has shared a health update with her fans, after her seven-month-old son Obi underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour.

The 43-year-old Australian model posted a photo on social media on Saturday, showing her tenderly kissing her young son on the chest as he lay in a hospital bed, accompanied by a heartwarming message.

‘Today Obi had the surgery to remove the tumour. The amazing team here are very happy with the way it went,’ Erin began.

‘While it’s too early to tell much more, we are hoping this will have been his biggest hurdle.

She went on to thank her followers for their support during this difficult time.

‘Taking each day as it comes but oh so thankful for today. Thank you everyone for all your beautiful messages of support.’

Earlier this week, Erin and her partner Stace Cadet shared heartbreaking news about their son Obi Brooks Kotaras, disclosing that he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The couple, who welcomed their first child together in October last year, issued an emotional joint statement on Thursday morning, expressing their anguish over Obi’s recent health battle.

‘For the last few weeks we have noticed a rapid decline in Obi’s behaviour and happiness,’ the statement began.

‘He was having problems eating, sleeping and most recently, keeping his head straight.’

They explained that after noticing the worrying changes they took Obi in for an MRI scan under the advice of their doctor.

The scan, conducted earlier this week, revealed the shocking diagnosis – a large tumour located on the right side of his brain.

‘At about 6:00pm Tuesday night we met with a neurosurgeon who broke the heartbreaking news,’ they said.

‘We are absolutely shattered and the last few days have been our hardest days.’ 

The former Miss Universe Australia and her partner went on to praise the team at Queensland Children’s Hospital, who are now working with them to determine a treatment plan.

‘Our team at the Queensland Children Hospital have been incredible and remain hopeful that we can remove the mass and get Obi healthy and happy pending the results,’ they added.

The post was flooded with messages of support from family, friends and fans, including Erin’s ex-husband, who she shares two children with – sons Evander, seven, and Ennio, five.

The harrowing update follows what was initially a joyful start to parenthood for Erin and Stace, who confirmed the birth of their son exclusively to Daily Mail Australia back in December following his birth in October.

The couple shared at the time that they had named him Obi and were over the moon to bring him home.

‘We are so in love with him, we can’t believe he’s finally here,’ Stace said in December.

The former MTV host also previously opened up about her difficult pregnancy, revealing the journey had been ‘a little touch and go at times,’ with health complications in the final trimester.
