The road to full recovery may be long, but Ribeiro remains optimistic about his daughter’s progress. He knows that healing takes time, and he cherishes every step of the journey with deep affection. “The progress is coming along as we expected. It’s a long, long process. But she’s doing wonderful.”

The beloved co-host of Dancing with the Stars and his wife Angela took to Instagram in May to share the news of their daughter Ava’s unfortunate accident.
