John Reardon has revealed that he was diagnosed with tonsil cancer.

The Canadian actor, 49, has starred in Citytv’s “Hudson & Rex” since 2019, and is also known for his roles in Hallmark Christmas films such as “Believe in Christmas,” which premiered last month.

Reardon shared the update on his health on Tuesday on Instagram. On Dec. 24, Reardon posted two photos with a caption revealing his tonsil cancer diagnosis and thanking his loved ones for their support during his recovery.

The first photo shows Reardon on a night out; the second photo shows Reardon sitting in a hospital bed wearing a mask, with his eyes closed.

“Last night was my first night out after my recovery from tonsil cancer. Has been a long road between these two pictures,” he wrote in the caption.

The Hallmark star wrote that “the difference between the two photos “is from the love and support I received from my people in my life” and went on to thank his wife and children.

“My amazing partner @officialmeghanory for taking on our whole world to help me get better. My brave kids who inspired me.”

Reardon is married to Canadian actor Meghan Ory, 42, with whom he co-starred in the 2024 Hallmark movie “Believe in Christmas.” The couple has been married since 2008 and share three young children.

In the Instagram post, Reardon goes on to praise other family members and loved ones for caring for him while he recovered from tonsil cancer.

“My Dad who took me for a walk everyday even when it was hard for me to get out of bed — and I’m sure hard for him to see his son in pain. My Mom @ocean__cottage who made me soups and ginger honey tea and green juices so I could get calories into my body. My sister and brother @dr_laura_reardon @marcreardon81 who helped with the kids and the challenges of life when I couldn’t.”
