A week after marrying her soulmate in Covid, lockdown-free Western Australia, a glamorous AFL WAG and model revealed that she is battling thyroid cancer.
Liv Cripps (26 years old) broke the shocking news Friday by posting a photo of herself in hospital, giving the camera a thumbs-up, with numerous wires and tubes surrounding her body.
Jamie Cripps’ new wife, West Coast Eagles star Jamie Cripps, remarked that “cancer” was not something she expected to hear in her twenties. However she felt it important to share the information so everyone can check on their irregular ‘lumps.
She wrote, “A few weeks back I was diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma,” on Instagram.
“So thankful to have been surrounded by so many amazing family and friends who have shown so great love and support.
