Jon Batiste shared an update on his wife Suleika Jaouad after she underwent her third bone marrow transplant amid her leukemia battle. “The kids doing alright today,” the Grammy winner wrote on Instagram Oct. 25 in a joint post with Jaouad, “and still madly in love. The couple—who married in 2022—appeared in good spirits despite the circumstances. The sweet update comes nearly a month after Jaouad shared she was undergoing a third bone marrow transplant. “To put it as plainly as I can, the treatments that have been keeping the leukemia at bay are no longer doing the trick,” the Book of Alchemy author wrote in a Sept. 28 Instagram post. "I’ve known another bone marrow transplant might be in my future. I was hoping the future was in less of a hurry.” Jaouad—who was first diagnosed with cancer in 2010, before it returned in December 2021 and again in summer of 2024—noted that although she was “scared” about her procedure, she has a “great deal of hope” and an incredible support system, including Batiste.
