In December 2022, the pair opened up about their now 17-months daughter and her health battles.
The couple’s daughter Zara James was diagnosed with RSV, Respiratory syncytial virus, weeks after she was born in October 2021, according to People magazine.
RSV "is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms" and "can be serious, especially for infants and older adults," according to the CDC.
At the time, Gale revealed that she discovered her baby girl "started sounding and looking different," and things "just didn’t seem right."
After taking Zara to the hospital, the doctor assured the couple their daughter was fine.
