Taking to X on Tuesday, Pollack revealed that his wife Lindsey will have to undergo a third surgery following her most recent doctor’s visit. He said that he’s praying with her and for her and asked for everyone else’s prayers amid this tough time.

“We didn’t get the best news today at a doctors visit. Surgery #3 coming for my Babydoll(wifey). She looked at me and said God has been building me for this, And thank goodness its on a bye week so Nicholas doesn’t have game 🙄 No blink! No doubt! No fear! Just Jesus! Its humbling to watch. It doesn’t mean I’m not scared as hail, but man the Peace of God is incredible. My Babydolls favorite verse is 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” She is weak right now, but our God isnt. If you are the praying type we will take em all,” Pollack wrote.

Prayers received.

Pollack’s message was received loud and clear. Plenty of fans took to the comments to send Lindsey Pollack their prayers and offered their own stories on difficult times they’re going through.
