Just over a week after actress Lea Michele had confirmed to fans that her son, Ever, had been released from the hospital, the two-year-old has unfortunately been hospitalized again.
The Broadway star first shared on March 22nd that she had to miss her performance on Funny Girl that day, explaining that she would miss both the matinée and evening show because of her son's "scary health issue."
The actress shares son Ever with her husband, businessman Zandy Reich, who she married in 2019.

"Today was a hard day. As parents we have to be strong for our kids," she wrote, adding: "But sometimes you just want to break down and cry. (Hidden in the bathroom or closet is usually best. Today I chose hospital bathroom.)"
