BROKEN IN HALF
As Michael Bublé’s son fights cancer, his family is...
MICHAEL Bublé’s sister-in-law says their family was “broken in half” to learn of his little son’s cancer.
Daniela Lopilato spoke out yesterday after the Canadian singer revealed the heartbreaking news about three-year-old Noah.
The type of cancer he has is still not known but top nutritionist Daniela denied speculation that he has leukaemia or a central nervous system problem.
Daniela, who is the sister of Michael’s Argentinian wife Luisana, said: “To tell you the truth I’m devastated. This is very recent.
“I ask that you don’t speculate because not everyone has children and can understand what this means.
“Michael and my sister will publish more statements. I can’t say any more.
“But it’s not leukaemia or the central nervous system, as people are saying.”
Crooner Michael, 41, and actress Luisana, 29, revealed their son’s illness on Facebook.
Support
The couple have been married five years and also have a ninemonth-old son Elias.
In their statement on Friday Michael said: “We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah, who is currently undergoing treatment in the US.
“Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well.”
Asking people to pray for Noah, he added: “We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.”
The message prompted a stream of online posts from celebrity well-wishers.
Boyzone star Ronan Keating tweeted: “Thoughts and prayers are with my friend @michaelbuble and his family. Stay strong.”
X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, herself a cancer survivor, sent “positive thoughts and prayers.” And singer Harry Connick Jr wrote: “Let’s pray for Noah so he can win this fight.”
Bublé, who was due to host the Brit Awards in February, said of his children recently: “I love them more than anything.”
And devoted Luisana posted an Instagram photo of her and her sons with friends last month, writing: “That beautiful day.” KISS FROM DADDY Michael with Noah
