While Jordan Fisher and wife Ellie Woods eagerly prepared to welcome their first child in 2021, the actor received some unexpected news about his health.“We were four months pregnant, five months pregnant [and] I always wanted to be a dad. [I] knew that I was about to achieve that goal and take on the biggest and best project of my life with my partner [and] my best friend,” the Dancing With the Stars season 25 champ, 28, said during his Tuesday, April 11, appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “I was diagnosed with an eating disorder that I did not know I had.

I just knew that I had reflux and all of these things that were making it difficult for me to eat.”Fisher, who had not publicly addressed his eating disorder battle prior to the talk show episode, told host Drew Barrymore that his struggles were a result of past “traumas” from his childhood that he never properly dealt with at the time.

The Turning Red voice actor has since praised therapy for helping him heal.“My last couple months of [a work] contract were very, very difficult physical times for me,” the Flash alum — who welcomed son Riley with Woods last year — added on Tuesday. “I lost 30 pounds [and] I actually never talked about this out loud on a platform like this at all, and man, I’m so glad I made it through that desert because here we are now.”He continued: “I am so much stronger!”The To All the Boys: P.S.
