90 Day star Deavan’s mom ‘hopeful’ Taeyang will be cancer-free in a year Fri 2 June 2023 12:19 Helen Williams
When 90 Day Fiancé viewers first met Deavan Clegg she was a mom to her young daughter, Drascilla. Now, she is a mom of three and her second child, Taeyang, 4, is currently battling leukemia. The TLC show followed Deavan’s romance with Taeyang’s father, Jihoon Lee.
Deavan and Jihoon’s 90 Day journey didn’t work out and they split during quarantine in 2020. Nowadays, Deavan is in a relationship with the father of her third child. She and Topher Park welcomed their first baby in late 2022. Despite Taeyang’s ongoing cancer battle, the family thankfully had some good news in May after a hospital visit.
90 Day’s Deavan is a mom of three
In 2019, 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way introduced TLC viewers to 23-year-old Deavan Clegg.
Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Deavan planned on moving to South Korea to be with her partner, Jihoon Lee.
She and her mom, Elicia, traveled across the world with Deavan’s daughter, Drascilla, during the show to start a new life in South Korea.
However, Jihoon and Deavan’s relationship didn’t work out and they called things off by 2020.
Today, Deavan is a mom to Drascilla, who is now in first grade, Taeyang, 4, and ‘Baby Park’ who is around eight months old.
Taeyang’s cancer battle
At the age of two, Taeyang was diagnosed with cancer.
Taking to Instagram in May 2023, Deavan wrote that it had been a year since her son’s cancer diagnosis.
The TLC star shared a video of Taeyang’s cancer battle as well as a caption including: “Many days we thought we were going to lose our sweet boy… We know this anniversary marks one step closer to his recovery.”
A fan asked Deavan how Taeyang is doing in the comments section. She replied that weekly updates are posted on his Go Fund Me page.
