Lorna Luxe: Influencer announces husband has organ failure and is in intensive care in hospital amid his cancer battle
An influencer was told to ‘prepare for the worst’ after the ‘toughest year’ of her husband’s life continued when he was hospitalised with organ failure - amid a battle with cancer.
Lorna Luxe, aged 43, is known for sharing updates about her life, including luxury trips and romantic photos with her husband John.
But, in more recent times, Lorna has shared a more serious posts about her husband’s health as the 64 year old is living with stage four adrenal cancer – after being diagnosed with the stage three of the disease in April 2023.
John, who has been married to social media star Lorna for 16 years, went into remission in early 2024 but by May she revealed his cancer had returned to his adrenal gland and had moved to his brain as well.
Last month, Lorna told her 1.6 million Instagram followers that John had undergone surgery to remove a tumour on his brain. But, in an update shared earlier this week she revealed John was rushed to hospital due to a complication with his chemotherapy treatment.
Alongside a video of the pair in happier times, smiling and kissing, she wrote on Friday (December 19): “My man is back in hospital… and while we’re both putting a brave face on it, this past few days haven’t been easy. A complication with his chemo left him with organ failure and two days ago the intensive care team were preparing me for the worse. But John isn’t the average patient and he’s somehow defied the odds, showing improvement every step of the way.”
She went on to say that she wasn’t sure what to post as she wanted to respect the privacy of her spouse, but shared that he had “told her off” for not posting and asked her to do so.
She finished her post by thanking her fans for their support. “We’re both so grateful for the messages of support and the genuine kindness {and giggles} you’ve given us. I don’t think I’d have got through this year without you and the community we’ve all built, it’s become a lifeline for me so thank you with all my heart,” she said.
John commented on the post and said: “To the woman whose the air that I breathe and has been since the first day we met… you , quite literally are and always have been my world.”
In a previous post, Lorna also shared her admiration for her partner of around two decades. She wrote: “So grateful for this man; he’s had the toughest year of his life and he just gets on with it, no moaning or complaining just a genuine bloke with everything to live for @j_p_luxe I’m a proud wife.”
Many fans and celebrity friends commented with their own messages of support on Lorna’s latest post. Love Island star Shaughna Phillips wrote: "You’ve had it b****y hard this year, but your vulnerability at such a scary time in your life, is so brave and powerful. Sending lots of love and healing power to both of you".
TV presenter Kate Lawler said: "Gosh John is a fighter. Sending you both so much love and hope.” A fan wrote: “My heart aches for you. I’m so sorry. I adore you both, I say it all the time but I do. God please hold Lorna and John tight and thank you John for being a warrior. Love you both so much.”
