One day after Christmas, Jordan took to Instagram to reveal he had beaten cancer for a second time.

“It is my prayer that you and your families will be healthy as you head into 2026. Like I said, I got the best gift I could have ever gotten to hear. the words undetected, cancer free, because for two years that was not the case. And so I’m just super, super grateful,” Jordan added.
