90 Day Fiancé: Deavan Reveals Son Taeyang Diagnosed With Leukemia
Former 90 Day Fiancé star Deavan Clegg revealed that her and Jihoon Lee’s 3-year-old son, Taeyang, has blood cancer. Deavan and Jihoon became household names after they were featured in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 1. Deavan and Jihoon met on an international dating app, after which he flew to the United States to see her. Deavan became pregnant with Jihoon’s baby during their first date, and she welcomed Taeyang in the first season of The Other Way. The couple separated in season 2, with Deavan coming back to America. She recently announced the news of her and Jihoon’s divorce.
Deavan was a single mom to daughter Drascilla when she welcomed Taeyang into her life. Deavan, who’s currently five months pregnant with her third baby with her new boyfriend, Chris “Topher” Park, had a difficult time during Taeyang’s birth. Jihoon wasn’t able to be by her side and witnessed the delivery via a video call. Deavan had an emergency C-section at 36 weeks, two weeks before the scheduled date. The little one popped two holes in his lungs from screaming too loud. Taeyang wound up staying in the NICU for five days. Deavan was all alone back then and spent her entire hospital stay sleepless in a wheelchair next to her baby’s NICU bed, holding his hand.
