Earlier this month, Park detailed her health emergency onInstagram.

“As I sit here processing and recovering from the first few weeks of 2024, the only word I can think of is grateful,” she captioned the post. “While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs. I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told.”

“You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know,” she said alongside photos of Forman with her in the hospital. “I love you Paul. More than I can ever say.”

Forman left a comment on her post, simply writing, “My love ❤️.”

The couple’sEmily in PariscostarLily Collinsalso showed her support in the comment section, writing, “I can hardly look at these without crying. I love you sister and I’m forever grateful you’re on the other side of this and for@peformanfor your incredibly huge heart and for being there every step of the way. I cannot wait to hug you both ❤️”

After going public with her medical scare, Formanshared a photoof the two posing together and one of him holding her hand in a hospital bed.

She added that figuring out how to prioritize herself has helped her be more confident in the strength of her relationship.

“I was always that person who wanted to give all of myself to other people, and that’s what made me feel fulfilled,” she said. “I don’t want to be that person who is now this and is not able to be there for other people. But then I realize the people that I care about, whether it’s my boyfriend or my friends, will never penalize me for not giving all of myself to them. They want to protect me as much as I want to protect them.”
