Even thoughTammin Surok’s husband Sean McEwen has tested negative for the novel coronavirus, their family is still feeling the toll of the respiratory disease.
In a candid video posted on her Instagram Stories on Friday, thePretty Little Liarsactress, 37, opened up about the “scary phase” of COVID-19 and the “disruption” the virus has caused.
“Here’s the thing, once you’re past the scary phase and your loved one is okay, it’s still such a disruption to your life, and your kids' life, and the person who is sick’s life,” Sursok — who shares daughters Phoenix, 6, and Lennon, 2, with McEwen — said. “My husband is still very weak. He’s lost 15 pounds in two weeks.”
“We all just need to realize that it’s still around,” she said of the virus.

“I never thought that after a year that this will be affecting us,” Sursok continued. “The fatigue of all this get overwhelming — I get it. It’s happening to me too.”
Still, the mother of two believes “there will be some light at the end of the tunnel and we will get back to our normal life.”
“Be safe and take care of the people around you too,” she captioned the clip.
In another post, Sursok confirmed that McEwen, a film producer, had finally tested negative for the coronavirus, sharing a screenshot of the results alongside a GIF of actorJonah Hillscreaming for joy.
TheHome and Awaystar first spoke of her husband’s COVID-19 diagnosis last week,sharing in an emotional videoabout how difficult it had been to find medical help for McEwen amid the ongoing surge in cases across the United States.
“It’s just been a really scary time,” she said through tears on her Instagram Stories. “I can’t have all of you on here and lie to you and pretend everything’s okay when it’s not.”
“COVID is real. It’s scary. And I know some people just get a cold, or they feel like they just have a cold or a flu, but some people don’t. And my husband is really fit and healthy and all the hospitals are full.”
Earlier this week, Sursok revealed that McEwen has beenexperiencing “crushing fatigue"in his struggles with COVID-19.
“A doctor says he’s going into the post-viral part of COVID, so he’s really exhausted,” she said in an Instagram Stories video at the time.
