Former The Bachelorette lead Trista Sutter revealed that her husband Ryan is suffering from a mysterious illness.
Trista met Ryan when he vied for her heart during The Bachelorette season 1. After they got engaged at the final rose ceremony, Trista and Ryan married during a televised wedding that the whole country was able to watch. Seventeen years on and two kids later, the first The Bachelorette couple is still going strong.
Over the weekend, Trista Sutter shared an image of Ryan to her Instagram, along with a lengthy caption detailing her husband's recent struggle with a mysterious illness. “This week is usually one of my favorites. Creating memories with family, honoring traditions, filling our bellies with the tastiest of treats, and recognizing our blessings...I know I should be thankful, but I don’t want to be fake,” began Trista, 48. She continued: "This guy…my rock, my best friend, my hero, my love…is struggling. Not every day, and not to the point that he can’t work or cook or exercise or be with family, but enough.” The former The Bachelorette reality star went on to explain that Ryan has been struggling for months and they have been trying to find some answers. The couple was relieved to find out that Ryan does not have cancer. They are hoping to find out what is wrong so the health issue can be treated. See the post below:
In her post, she added that she's very thankful for her two kids, Max, 13, and Blakesley, 11, and for the fact that the family can be together during the coronavirus pandemic. “[We’re] thankful to have each other and health insurance and jobs and a home and food on the table and healthy family members and all the things that make this life struggle-free."
Trista is blessed to be where she is in life, but she has been struggling behind closed doors, until now. It's good that she is reaching out to her fans. She ended the caption by asking her followers to send Ryan prayers. Several people from Bachelor Nation sent their thoughts and prayers to Ryan in the comment section of the post. Former Bachelorettes Clare Crawley and JoJo Fletcher sent their love to the couple, as did new mom, Tenley Molzahn. Hopefully, Trista and Ryan will find the answers they are looking for, and Ryan will feel better soon.
The Bachelorette airs Tuesdays at 8 pm on ABC.
