Fans flooded the stars comment section with their well-wishes and prayers for a safe and speedy recovery. Unfortunately, some social media users went straight to speculating what might have caused Don’s heart condition.

One Instagram user replied, “He needs to slow down with the heavyweight training and bodybuilding.” Another user wrote, “It be them supplements you really don’t know what’s in them.”

Prior to this incident, Don and his wife Ashely Danielle Brumfield experienced another challenging setback. The star’s wife lost her mother, Barbara Redding who he says was “monumental” to their family.”

“She will never be able to be replaced but we will do our best to keep her love and vision alive,” he wrote on Instagram.

This past Sunday, Don wished Ashley the mother of his children a Happy Mother’s Day. Don and Ashley appeared together on the show and seem to be on the right track after going through a few hiccups in their relationship. The two are currently married.
