Matt Lanter's Wife Reveals His Medical Condition, Offers Update on Recovery

In an Instagram post shared on Monday night, featuring Matt in a hospital gown, she wrote:

"A small update because a lot of people have been asking… Last Tuesday, Matt started experiencing intense abdominal pain and was admitted to the hospital later that night. Thursday he was diagnosed with a closed loop intestinal obstruction (his small intestine twisted, causing a blockage) and was rushed into emergency surgery. He has experienced some setbacks after surgery but today he is feeling a little better. The drs and nurses have stressed the importance of getting up and walking, so we’re slowly getting him moving more and more. Hoping for more improvement tomorrow. Thankful for all of your prayers. ❤️"

After undergoing emergency surgery Matt Lanter is in recovery.

The "90210" actor's wife Angela Lanter took to Instagram on Sunday to share that her husband had "started to turn the corner and is slowly getting on the road to recovery" after his admission to the hospital last week for an undisclosed medical issue.

Angela shared a black-and-white photo of her hand intertwined with her husband's and captioned the post, "This week has been the scariest of my life. My hubby has been through the ringer [sic] since Tuesday and ended up in emergency surgery on Thursday."

Lanter gave followers an update on her husband’s recovery, noting the "uphill battle" he still has to face. She added, "Thank you all for your prayers, love and support. We are so thankful to the awesome nurses, they are the real heroes. We still have an uphill battle and will continue to be in the hospital for a while longer, so prayers are definitely still appreciated."

The couple's celebrity friends took to the comments to leave words of encouragement and support.

Fellow "90210" alum, Melissa Ordway, wrote, "We'll keep praying" with a red heart emoji.

"We're praying for total and complete healing over Matt! And for peace over you and your baby girl," said Kellan Lutz' wife Brittany.

Extra's Katie Krause also added, "Sending love and prayers to you guys."

Matt and Angela tied the knot back in 2013 and the couple share four-year-old daughter MacKenlee Faire.

In an interview with People Magazine, the pair revealed the origins of their daughter's unique moniker.

"MacKenlee is a play on a family name," Angela said at the time. "Matt's middle name is MacKendree (also a family name). Faire is after my maternal grandmother."

"The moment our daughter was lifted up and we laid eyes on her was incredible," the "Timeless" actor told the publication in a separate interview at the time of her birth. "As a dad, some of my most special moments so far are when she just lays her little body on my chest and falls asleep."

"I just thought to myself, she's perfect," Matt concluded.
