Their son Paul was born with cardiac problems and had open-heart surgery in 2008.

Since his initial open-heart surgery, the 15-year-old has gotten a total of four open-heart operations.

In an interview with Daily Mail, Baier chimed into his son's condition.

Baier said: "It turned out his heart was essentially pumping the wrong way. He had five significant heart defects, and if he didn't get surgery in the first few days, he would die.

"So we went from the highest highs to the lowest lows in a really short time."

He went on to reveal that despite Paul's numerous surgeries, he seems to be on the latter end of this journey.
