Bachelor Nation's Blake Moynes Hospitalized In Africa Over Infection

"Bachelorette" alum Blake Moynes has been hospitalized after he suffered from a "severe" infection while visiting Africa.

Moynes's mother, Emily, took to social media to share the news and to ask for thoughts and prayers.

The 32-year-old was visiting Africa to fight for endangered species when he suddenly came down with a bad infection.

"I just got a call from Blake. I don’t hear from him very often [because he’s been] in Africa for about a month and he doesn’t have cell service," Blake's mother, Emily, wrote on social media. "But he is down there fighting the poachers, saving the rhinos and elephants and doing what he absolutely loves. He is so passionate about that sort of stuff."

Unfortunately, while the former "Bachelorette" star was visiting the continent, he came down with an infection, forcing him to be admitted to the hospital. "Four days ago, he called and said he had a really bad infection that had been treated," Emily continued to explain.

A rep for Moynes also spoke to E! News, explaining, "Blake has been working and training in South Africa with anti-poaching units where [he] developed a severe infection. He's being recently treated with great medical care and just completed surgery yesterday. We are awaiting confirmation that things are fully on the right track in the coming days. He is being monitored closely and once he is able to come home safely, he will be."

Blake's mother went on to explain how the 32-year-old already had to go through surgery due to the severity of the infection.

"I want him to come home," she wrote on social media before adding, "F*ck Blake, just come home. I know you love what you’re doing but you’re freaking me out."

Emily is, of course, terrified and feels helpless as her son is facing this alone on another continent. "I am ready to get on the next flight to Africa," she continued to say before adding, "Let’s say a prayer for Blake please."

Blake Moynes first appeared on the 16th season of "The Bachelorette," but was eliminated in the ninth week. He returned to Katie Thurton's season, where he proposed to the lead, however, their engagement did not last long.

Three months after Thurston's season aired, the two released a joint statement, writing, "It is with mutual love and respect that we have decided to go our separate way. We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners, and it is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently."

The two continued, "We ask for kindness and privacy as we both navigate this transition. Both of us will forever want the best for one another and ask you to please support us in our decision."
