As you may know, the actor has been open about his personal life. Earlier, we reported the actor disclosed that he had been suffering from some health issues.

Fans got to hear this when the actor made an appearance on “Good Morning America,” he revealed he lost 20lbs after his battle with ulcerative colitis.

According to Green, he had faced this illness “a couple of times,” and each was a challenging experience. The actor detailed how he had managed to live with this illness.

He said, “I try to avoid gluten and dairy as much as possible. It’s really just dietary, like, as long as I can keep things within my system that my body doesn’t think I’m poisoning it with, then it doesn’t fight back.”

He continued, “I would eat food, and literally it was like, my body didn’t process any of that. So then, when you start playing catch up with, like, staying on top of being hydrated enough, that’s such a battle.”

Recall that in March, the actor was absent from social media, and he disclosed that this absence resulted from Ulcerative Colitis which left him bedridden.

He explained it in a video, saying, “I had ulcerative colitis for about six, six-and-a-half weeks, which wasn’t very fun. Horrible timing.”

Per The Blast, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum bounced back after a bout of illness, and he noted that his fiancée was a great help during that period, even when she was pregnant. 

In his video update, he said, “Sharna was amazing — six, seven months pregnant — taking care of my three young kids because I was pretty bedridden for a while.”

He continued, “Taking care of me, not complaining, being amazing. I am super thankful to have someone like her in my life.”

Burgess, overwhelmed with love from her man, sweetly responded to the post. She wrote, “Baby, this was beautiful and unexpected. I love you, and I’ve got you. You and the kids, always. ❤️xx.”
