Bachelorette star Kaitlyn Bristowe reveals devastating family news

by

This week, Kaitlyn Bristowe disclosed heart-wrenching personal information about her family, stating that her stepfather is bravely fighting against an advanced, incurable stage 4 cancer.

The well-known reality television personality, aged 40, shared that her stepfather, Rob, received a cancer diagnosis approximately a year ago. Regrettably, despite treatment efforts, the cancer has progressed and affected his stomach area.

She posted a collection of pictures showing her enjoying time with her family, and invited her 1.8 million fans to send their affection, thoughts, and well-wishes towards her dear stepfather.

She expressed that Rob, who frequently appeared during her hometown visits on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as he is married to her mother Leslie, holds immense significance in her life.

A television host residing in Nashville, known for openly discussing her breast augmentation earlier this year, shared multiple pictures from a fishing day on the lake with her stepfather during a recent visit to Canada to see her family.

8 months back, she requested everyone to offer prayers for her stepfather, Robert, on Instagram. She didn’t specify the reason then, but he had been diagnosed with cancer and was scheduled for a surgery to have it surgically removed.

She said, “It seems your prayers were answered, as things have improved.” Later, he underwent another scan which revealed the issue had shifted to his abdomen. Now, he’s fighting against a terminal stage 4 cancer that cannot be cured.

Bristowe remarked, “We’re all deeply saddened. I have faith that he’ll surpass the predicted timeframe due to his relentless determination, strength, and intense zest for life.

As a wellness advocate, I wholeheartedly trust in the potency of prayers, the magic of visualization, and the might of compassion. Therefore, kindly channel all these positive energies towards him.

‘He means the world to me and our blended family.’ 

In her blog post, she shared an impromptu picture of her stepfather dressed casually, posing against a picturesque backdrop, presumably taken unawares.

Additionally, among the images she shared was one captured candidly, showing her seated on the dock, fishing – possibly taken by a family member without her knowledge.

She also shared a photo taken of her reading a book and relaxing by the lake during the day.

Additionally, she captured images of her family members while posting another picture displaying her stepfather alone on a shaded bench, gazing at the scenic vista.

In her social media post, she included a picture of her parents engaged in card games on their patio, with a beautiful sunset casting its glow behind them and a serene lake as the backdrop.

At dusk, she too snapped an impressive shot of the fiery-orange sunset reflecting over the water in a breathtaking panorama.

In summary, at dusk, she took pleasure in a red light therapy session, and shared an affectionate picture of her snuggling with a plush toy, along with a heartfelt message.

Following numerous expressions of support from her dear ones and colleagues within the entertainment world, the ex-Bachelorette took to sharing a heartfelt message conveying appreciation.

In reply to the comments beneath her post, she shared that she was moved to tears by the outpouring of affection and encouragement.

Cutting back on emotional displays on social media, but I can’t help tearing up during my third flight back to Nashville, dabbing my eyes with a bag of pretzels amidst all the affection,” Bristowe shared on her Instagram Story over the weekend.

She expressed heartfelt gratitude,” she exclaimed. “I’m sharing countless messages with my mom and Rob, hoping this brings joy to them!
