Jack Whitehall's fiancée Roxy Horner opens up about living with type 1 diabetes as she reunites with comedian in Corfu after 'months apart'
Jack Whitehall 's fiancée Roxy Horner has opened up about living with type 1 diabetes in a candid Instagram post. The model, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share that she had reunited with the comedian, 37, for a family holiday to Corfu with their daughter Elsie, one, after 'months apart'. She shared a stunning snap taking in the views while wearing a white tiered summer dress and posed for silly snaps with Jack. In the post, Roxy revealed that travelling with type 1 diabetes can be challenging as she shared that she bring a Dexcom G7 glucose sensor with her to monitor her levels. The glucose monitor could be seen attached to her arm in the snaps, while in a video she showed how it is administered. 'After months apart, we've finally made it to our much needed family holiday in Corfu ❤️ My heart is so full having our little family all together again,' she said. 'Traveling as someone living with type 1 diabetes comes with a lot of baggage (literally, lol) and spontaneity for me means planning, packing and double checking!! 'But thanks to my Dexcom G7 CGM, I've got one less thing to stress about. It gives me the freedom to stay present, enjoy the moment, and soak up every moment with my family. My CGM is waterproof so I can swim whenever I choose, and the 30 minute warm up means I never need to go long without my numbers.' She continued: 'Here's to love, adventure, and tech that makes it all a little easier ✨.' Roxy confirmed her engagement to Jack back in December following a flurry of speculation. She revealed the pair were indeed set to tie the knot as she showed off her pear-shaped diamond ring last month. Taking to her Instagram ahead of New Year's Eve, she shared a compilation of all her highlights from the last two months of 2024, including several looks at her huge sparkler and a glimpse of the moment Jack popped the question. And further confirming that the couple were to become husband and wife, she shared a photo of Jack with the caption: 'Best fiancé in the world', followed by a diamond ring emoji. The video began with Roxy showing a diamond ring balloon and engagement box-themed Christmas tree ornament, before she spun her own hand around to reveal her real ring. 'Traveling as someone living with type 1 diabetes comes with a lot of baggage (literally, lol) and spontaneity for me means planning, packing and double checking!!' she wrote While one shot appeared to hint at Jack's romantic proposal, as Roxy showed off her dazzling rock in front of a line of lit-up Christmas trees. Captioning the special reel, she penned: 'How could I fit in a whole year of highlights in one video? Here is a snippet of the last 2 magical months of 2024, feeling utterly blessed.' The video was met with a plethora of well wishes from her pals and fans, with one notable comment being from her new fiancé, who simply penned: 'My love', along with three red heart emojis. The couple had previously sparked rumours they were set to walk down the aisle, when the mother-of-one showed off a huge diamond ring at Winter Wonderland last month. Snapping selfies with Jack and Elsie, Roxy could also be seen sporting a tear shaped diamond set on a silver band on her engagement finger. The couple have been in a relationship since 2020, before welcoming daughter Elsie in September 2023 at the iconic Lindo Wing, in which a host of royals have given birth. Jack admitted the experience was both 'utterly overwhelming' and 'joyous' in ways he 'couldn't have imagined'. He wrote at the time: 'Well this just happened! Utterly overwhelming and joyous in ways I couldn't have even imagined. 'In awe of my partner @roxyhorner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever. So excited to have started a family of my own. 'Having vowed I'd never be that guy I am now 100% going to be the parent that shows everyone endless pictures of their kid. I also wore skechers to hospital, I think I must accept I am a full blown dad now. Name wise after this weekend I think 'rice, rice, baby' has a nice ring to it.' The couple then revealed Elsie's name which means 'Pledged to God' in Hebrew.

Nick Jonas Shares How He Discovered His Type 1 Diabetes During Jonas Brothers Tour
Last Updated: While reminiscing about the early days of their career, they recalled that Nick's health began to deteriorate during their Jonas Brothers School Tour in 2006. Nick Jonas, the youngest one from The Jonas Brothers, revealed that he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes during his early teenage years. The jealous crooner opened up about his struggles with diabetes and revealed that it was his older brother Joe who made the call that finally helped him get diagnosed. Nick Jonas Did Not Realise He Had Diabetes On July 24, The Jonas Brothers, consisting of Nick, Joe, and Kevin, appeared on Penn Badgley's podcast Podcrushed, where the three brothers were seen looking back on their rise to stardom. While reminiscing about the early days of their career, they recalled that Nick's health began to deteriorate during their Jonas Brothers School Tour in 2006. 'I started losing a ton of weight and, you know, drinking a ton of water and using the bathroom all the time—all the signs that I now know are symptoms of type 1 diabetes," Nick revealed, explaining that he had no idea and just knew that he was not feeling well. 'It's actually a testament to the lack of information and awareness there was around type 1 at this time," he added. According to the Mayo Clinic, signs of type 1 diabetes in children tend to develop quickly, and the most common symptoms include weight loss, thirst, fatigue, and frequent urination—all the signs that Nick showed at the age of 13. Joe Jonas Helped Nick Gets Diagnosed Nick remembered a time when he and his brother Joe visited a place in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when Joe first realised there was something wrong with Nick. 'We went to the pool one day, and he saw my back and called my parents and said, 'You know, something's really wrong. You have to get down here," Nick recalled. 'Because you're so skinny?" Penn asked, to which Joe replied, 'So skinny," and Kevin added, 'You could see every bone." Nick then went on to explain that the normal glucose level for teenagers who do not have type 1 diabetes should be between 70 and 120. 'Mine was like north of 900, which is very high," he said. Later, the singer revealed that after spending a few days at the hospital, he was fit to perform again. 'Back on stage, you know, within a week of being diagnosed," Nick added. Nick Jonas Has Been Living With the Disease for 20 Years Recalling his journey with diabetes, Nick stated, 'I'm coming up on my twentieth year living with the disease, which coincides with the twentieth year of the band, coincidentally,' adding that when it comes to diabetes management, he only trusts the Dexcom G7 glucose monitor, a brand he has promoted.
