Lea Michele reveals son is ‘good’ after ‘scary health issues’
Lea Michele’s son is ‘good’ again.
The former Glee star was forced to pull out of some shows on New York City’s Funny Girl on Broadway last month after her two-year-old Ever – who she has with husband Zandy Reich – was hospitalized over a “scary health issue.” ‘
But the 36-year-old performer has revealed that the toddler is now home and feeling better.
“He’s fine, thank you very much. He’s good,’ she said Entertainment tonight on Tuesday at the Variety Power Of Women event.
This comes as a relief, because at the end of March she said that he was not yet completely healthy.

“We are in the hospital with our son who is dealing with a scary health issue that requires me to be here,” she wrote in a caption above the photo.
While she has revealed the health issue, the actress added, “I’m so sorry. Please send us some love and strength.”

Lea has played the lead role of Fanny Brice since her opening night in September 2022, having replaced Beanie Feldstein.
Lea’s role in Funny Girl ends on September 3, 2023 and she is looking forward to spending more time with her son.
When asked about her plans when the show ends, she told ET on Tuesday, “Oh my god, I’m going to spend as much time as possible with my son and rest.
“And just let my body recover from this show and be a mom to a three-year-old.”
She said he was three because by the time the show ends, her son will be that age.
The Scream Queens star has received critical acclaim for her turn as Fanny Brice, and the production’s box office records have been broken, Lea still processing the “incredible” performance, but ultimately her family life comes first.
A final farewell: In March, it was announced that Michele’s final appearance would be on Sept. 3 later this year, according to Variety; seen in 2022
She said, “I’m really trying my best to take a moment to process these amazing performances along the way because they really are so incredible.
“But at the end of the day, it’s like I wake up, I’m a mother, I take care of my son, I go to work at night, we have so much fun.”
“And at the end of the day, I think all these achievements are so great. But the fact that we have so much fun at the same time, as a cast on that stage, that’s really the most important thing.’
While Lea has appeared on stage before, Funny Girl will be her first time closing a Broadway production, and she teased that there will be some special moments for fans.
She said, “Our show closes on September 3, when I leave. I’ve never closed a show. I’ve left most of the time, so it’s going to be interesting, but we’re going out with a bang. I’ll tell you we have a few surprises for my last night that I haven’t told anyone about yet.’
