    Sair touched upon Nathan's recent health battle in the caption. In 2022, he was forced to have surgery to remove a benign bone tumour on his pelvis.

    "Life can be difficult and there’ll always be challenges to face but there are also important lessons to be learnt and gifts to be cherished." Sair signed off the post by sharing their excitement at welcoming Baby Chilton in Spring 2024.
