"Just want to give a heartfelt thank you to @kareskinmd for the emergency service and procedure to help lessen the likelihood of scaring. So proud of how brave my baby girl was during the surgery," he added. Ribeiro and Angela have three children together -- daughter Ava Sue and their sons Alfonso "AJ" Lincoln, 9, and Anders Reyn, 8.
