On February 2021, American actress/ political activist Ashley Judd took to Instagram and shared her near-death experience caused by a sudden fall while visiting a camp on Congo. 

Ashley Judd Almost Died; Update On Her Health

In February 2021, Ashley had a devastating fall in Africa when she visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo to see endangered bonobos monkey. She tripped over a tree and had life-threatening injuries that included internal bleeding and a shattered leg. Since then, she had been recovering in the U.S.

In Watch What Happened Live, her mother Naomi updated how Ashley is doing after her 55-hour rescue from the forest. She said:

She's very courageous and she's healing. It's really hard to see her like this. She lives next door, so I'm gonna go up and take her stitches out when we're done. I used to be a nurse before I became a singer.

Ashley also gave an update regarding her health through her Instagram post. 

She expressed gratitude to everyone who has helped her on the way to recovery. She thanked her physicians and the Hughton Clinic, Skyline Hospital staff, and not to miss out, her friends and family.  

However, on August 2nd came a news that brought smiles to everyone's faces. Judd shared a series of videos of her walking again. And further shared her road to recovery.

Judd was on extensive care and therapy due to her accident. And as the warrior she is, she powered through her struggles and has regained the strength in her legs again. 

She shared a video of her hiking on the Swiss National Park and shared how she walked up the hill in an hour and came down easily.

Sharing the exhilarating moment she said,

My leg will never be the same. She is a new leg. And I love her. We are buddies. We have a come a long way and we have a fabulous life ahead.

Judd's journey has been one of a kind. As graceful of a personality she posses, she took time to thank everyone that has been a part of her recovery. Adding to her caption, she wrote, 

I have so many people to thank for helping to make my recovery possible. Many I have previously acknowledged, such as Dr Phil Kregor, the trauma orthopedic surgeon. He, in consultation with Dr Susan Mackinnon & Dr Scott Levin, made a very gutsy decision to decompress my deeply damaged peroneal nerve.

Who Is Ashley Judd Married To?

The Kiss, the Girl actress, got married to three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti, who she thought would be her life partner. The duo had been engaged two years before their marriage, in December 2001, in a castle in Scotland. 

During their 11-year marriage, Ashley was often present in the pits while her husband raced. Sadly, it seemed like their marriage had run its course as the couple split on a mutual decision on 30th January 2013. 

Though the actress and retired racing driver are no longer husband and wife, they are on good terms.

Dario has remarried and is wedded to Eleanor Robb. Ashley, on the other hand, is godmother to Dario’s daughter, Sofia.

Following the split, Ashley was rumored to have been in a relationship with multiple celebrities, including Robert De Niro.
