Deaven Clegg has revealed that her three-year-old son Taeyang, whom she shares with her ex Jihoon Lee, was diagnosed with leukemia.
The 90 Day Fiancé star shared an Instagram post on Tuesday (May 31) in which she revealed that her son was recently diagnosed with b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
"I have vowed to always be 100% transparent with you guys and I am choosing to share the most vulnerable and saddest point of my life right now in hopes it can help give anyone else dealing with a similar situation some strength," Clegg begins her post, with a series of photos of Taeyang in the hospital.
"I'm overcome with so much emotion and devastation to announce that my beloved son Taeyang who just celebrated his third birthday last week was just diagnosed with childhood cancer, b-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia just a few days ago."
Clegg split from Lee in 2020, as reported by E! News. She is also a mother to her six-year-old daughter Drascilla and is currently pregnant with her third baby with her current partner Topher Park.
She said Taeyang has "already undergone multiple procedures and started chemotherapy treatment just two days ago."
"This is every parent's absolute worst nightmare and I'm trying hard to stay strong for Taeyang, Drascilla, and my baby in my tummy. Taeyang will need [around-the-clock] hospital care and this will be a long [two-year] process that has a high success rate of full recovery in five years," she continues.
"I'm still processing all of this and asking for prayers, please. If anyone would like to donate to assist with his medical care, I would be forever grateful as this nightmare has been completely unexpected," she added.
The TV personality also asked her 519,000 followers if they had any recommendations for childhood cancer support groups and resources that could help her at this devastating time.
"I'm so beside myself right now and my heart is broken. Thank you friends and supporters for your prayers, healing vibes, and strength," Clegg concludes her post.
The mother of soon-to-be three also thanked her followers for all their support in another post shared on the social media platform on Tuesday.
She wrote: "I want to thank everyone for the huge amount of support. This week has [flipped] our lives upside down. Childhood cancer is one of the worst things to happen to anyone or any family."
"We will keep everyone updated on Taeyang's Journey to recovery. We are creating shirts today for our little man. If you can help please donate to Taeyang's gofundme all donations will go towards his medical bills and the care he may need throughout this long journey. The link is in my bio. #childhoodcancer #leukemia #teamtaeyang #fightingcancer," she added.
Our thoughts are with Taeyang and his family at this time.
