Prayers up! According to RealityTitBit, Alex has been through a lot since appearing on Ready to Love. The outlet shares that Alex was admitted into the hospital in November 2018 after he said that he wasn’t feeling well.

Unfortunately, the doctors ran a series of tests that revealed Alexx had brain flu. Later, the outlet shares that Alex's condition worsened and left him in a coma for two and a half months.

According to the Mayo Clinic, encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that often causes mild flu-like symptoms including fever, headache, aches in muscles and joints, and fatigue or weakness.

The symptoms and signs of the condition can be so severe, they can lead to muscle weakness, problems with speech or hearing, seizures, hallucinations, or a coma. The exact cause of encephalitis is often unknown, but when it is, a viral infection is usually the culprit.

“I died twice in the hospital. My lungs collapsed,” Alexx told WSBV-TV in August 2019. Even after waking up from his coma, Alexx struggled to talk, write, or walk. “I had a sensation, but like I couldn’t move and that’s a scary feeling, you know?”
