00:00 Emily in Paris star Ashley Park revealing she's in recovery after being hospitalized
00:08 for critical septic shock.
00:10 The actress sharing her health scare on Instagram with photos and videos from her hospital stay,
00:15 writing, "As I sit here processing and recovering from the first few weeks of 2024, the only
00:20 word I can think of is grateful."
00:23 Ashley says she was on vacation over the holidays when she got tonsillitis, which spiraled into
00:28 critical septic shock.
00:30 The actress says it infected and affected several of her organs.
00:34 "Twist once.
00:35 Yeah, nice.
00:36 One more time.
00:37 Oh, Paul, so good.
00:38 So good."
00:39 That's Ashley's Emily in Paris co-star, Paul Forman, whom she's been rumored to be dating.
00:51 She thanked him for "being unconditionally by my side through all this," adding, "You
00:56 calmed my fears all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those
01:01 we know."
01:02 Ashley is seemingly confirming their romance, adding, "I love you, Paul, more than I can
01:07 ever say."
01:09 This isn't the first time Ashley's been open about a health battle.
01:12 In 2022, she revealed to Shape magazine she went through chemotherapy and radiation for
01:17 leukemia when she was just 15, telling the mag, "People were so worried about me.
01:22 I became the person that was like, 'I'm fine.
01:25 Don't worry about me.
01:26 I'm going to go after what I want and just do it,'" adding, "Once cancer physically left
01:30 my body, I made it my mission to not let it affect my life.
01:33 I didn't want it to define me."
01:35 While Ashley's on the mend, her Emily in Paris co-stars are back at work.
01:47 Lily Collins sharing an Emily-worthy selfie of the season 4 script, saying, "It feels
01:52 so good to reunite with our co-stars in the City of Lights."
01:56 And now, for the first time in a season, Ashley's co-stars are back at work.
02:26 No doubt Ashley, who plays Mindy Chen in the Netflix series, will reunite with her
02:30 co-stars once she's recovered.
02:33 And as she once told ET, Paris is a place that feels like home.
02:37 "I remember me and Lily calling each other when we found out about the two seasons and
02:41 I was like, 'Wait, so we're going to do as many seasons as we've already done?'
02:46 And Lily was like, 'I think that's how math works.'
02:48 But like, we are so, I'm just so thrilled to go back.
02:51 I kind of feel like Paris is a second home to me now.
02:54 So just getting to go back there is such a blessing and I feel like we'll see where
02:58 it takes us."
02:59 "I'm so excited to be back."
