"I share a lot on social media but this is one thing I didn’t want to share…" she began. “But, at this point people are getting frustrated not getting responses personally and business wise from me and wondering why I’m MIA so I finally decided to share.”

"Our entire family has COVID,” she continued. "Yes, every single member got it. We all have varying degrees of symptoms. I was last to be symptomatic. We all were praying it was just a bad winter cold. But it wasn’t."

"Nothing is worse than wanting to care for your little ones but feeling so sick you can barely function yourself,” she wrote. "I feel useless as a parent. Devastated. A mom is supposed to take care of their kiddos when sick. That’s how it works. But, we are all getting thru this together."

"If I’m not responding please understand," she added. "Give me some time. We are right in the thick of it. For reference : This post took 45 min of starting and stopping to write. #covidsucks."

Last week, Spelling and her children visited the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa for New Year's Eve. However, McDermott did not attend, as he was apparently suffering from pneumonia at the time.

"Happy New year Everyone!!!" he wrote on Instagram. "I’m down but not out!! Pneumonia sucks but I’m not going to let it dampen my spirits!! I hope your 2022 is full of love, light, and prosperity. Much love to you all."

It’s not clear if he had pneumonia and then caught COVID-19, or he had both at the same time, but McDermott also revealed to his Instagram followers that he had COVID-19 on Saturday after he posted a photo out on a hockey rink.
