Sean Lowe’s 8-Year-Old Son Isaiah Hospitalized Due to Type 1 Diabetes
Former Bachelor Sean Lowe and his wife Catherine Giudici are facing some challenges as their 8-year-old son, Isaiah, has recently been hospitalized.
“This past week has been difficult for the Lowes. Our beloved son Isaiah was admitted to Children’s Hospital and diagnosed with type 1 diabetes,” Giudici, 40, shared via Instagram on Tuesday, July 21. “Our amazing pediatrician recognized some symptoms during our annual check-up that concerned her.”
Giudici added, “He had lost 11 pounds since his last visit (we thought it was just a growth spurt) and had been drinking and urinating excessively (the summer heat doesn’t help). Otherwise healthy and active, she conducted some tests and directed us to the emergency room due to the alarming findings. We’re grateful for the nurses, doctors, and staff who provided us a comprehensive education on his condition in just four days.”
In addition to Isaiah, Lowe, 42, and Giudici are proud parents to son Samuel, 10, and daughter Mia, 6.
Since his diagnosis, Isaiah has undergone multiple treatments.
“This brave boy has faced numerous injections, four days away from home, and a lifestyle that feels completely unfamiliar,” Giudici wrote on Tuesday. “He has managed all this without losing his playful spirit and a joy that seems inexplicable. There have been many tears, pain, and confusion, but he has been a true trooper, without a doubt.”
Giudici further referred to her son as her “new hero” for handling these unexpected health challenges.
“I am incredibly proud to be his mom,” she expressed. “Prayers for him, his siblings, and us as parents are greatly appreciated as we navigate this new normal. ❤️.”
Lowe and Giudici received support from fellow Bachelor alumni in the comments section.
“Sweet boy. I’m so sorry and know your mama heart hurts right now, but Isaiah is fortunate to have you as his guiding light,” Lesley Murphy, who also appeared on Lowe’s Bachelor season, commented. “Sending you all so much love from just down the road!!!”
Lowe’s sister, Shay Shull, added, “We love you guys SO much! You’ve handled this like champions, mama.”
Lowe and Giudici first met on The Bachelor season 17 in 2013, becoming engaged in the finale. The couple married the following year.
“I believe I only participated in The Bachelor because of [Sean] specifically and what he stands for,” Giudici revealed to Us in July 2025, referring to their shared values. “[The Bachelor] was perfect for us.”
