“90 Day Fiancé” alums Deavan Clegg and Jihoon Lee’s 3-year-old son, Taeyeng, is battling leukemia.
The toddler’s grandmother shared his diagnosis in a GoFundMe fundraiser, created on Monday.
“On May 25, 2022, Taeyang was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a type of blood cancer that is more common in young children,” Elicia Clegg wrote.
“As of May 29th, he has begun his chemotherapy,” she added. “His mom has been informed that this will be a long two-year process, with a high success rate of full recovery in five years.”
Elicia went on to write that the little one has already had surgery for “placement of a port line, a bone marrow biopsy and a lumbar puncture.”
Deavan, 25, and Lee, 30, welcomed Taeyeng in April 2019, one year before calling it quits.
The model, who is also the mother of 6-year-old daughter Drascilla, is currently pregnant with baby No. 3, her first with boyfriend Topher Park.
“Because of his age and childhood leukemia, his mother will have to be his full-time caregiver and not just his loving mom,” Elicia noted in her statement.
“For these reasons, she will not be able to continue her line of work,” Elicia concluded. “Every penny raised will go directly toward the care of Taeyang and any present or future medical expenses.”
Deavan called Taeyeng’s diagnosis the “saddest point” of her life via Instagram on Monday.
“This is every parents’ absolute worst nightmare and I’m trying hard to stay strong for Taeyang, Drascilla and my baby in my tummy,” the former reality star wrote captioned a slideshow of hospital photos.
Deavan celebrated her son’s birthday last month with “yummy cake” a trip to the zoo.
“Can’t believe you are already 3,” the former TLC personality told her “beautiful boy” in an April Instagram tribute.
Lee has yet to address Taeyeng’s diagnosis on his own account.
