According to him, Alex was present at his sister’s wedding and appeared healthy and fine.

IK said Alex decided to take a break to focus on himself and get some rest from the pressure of constant public attention.
He said: “Alex is very okay. He is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him.
“He is just taking a leave because sometimes, people want to take time off social media and social gatherings.”

His last activity on Instagram was on December 30, 2024, which led many followers to repeatedly visit his page to ask about his condition and send words of encouragement.
