ABC News correspondent Will Reeve publicly revealed on September 29, 2026, that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this year and has successfully completed treatment. Speaking openly about his health journey for the first time on Good Morning America and in an interview with People magazine, the 34-year-old journalist shared that he underwent two surgeries and multiple cycles of chemotherapy before being declared cancer-free following a medical checkup on September 8, 2026.
Will Reeve is the son of the late legendary actor Christopher Reeve, famous for portraying Superman, and the late activist Dana Reeve. Raised under public scrutiny during his parents' courageous health battles—his father suffered a paralyzing spinal cord injury in 1995, and his mother passed away from lung cancer in 2006—Will has long carried forward their legacy of resilience. He currently serves on the board of directors for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for spinal cord injury research and quality-of-life initiatives.
A graduate of Middlebury College, Reeve began his broadcasting career as a sports anchor and reporter before joining ABC News in 2018. Over the past eight years, he has become a familiar presence across network platforms, contributing regularly to Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and ABC News Live. His reporting ranges from feature profiles and human-interest stories to major cultural and news events, establishing him as a respected figure in modern American broadcast journalism.
Detailing his diagnosis, Reeve explained that he discovered a small mass in April 2026, just months after marrying his wife, Amanda Dubin Reeve. Encouraged by Amanda to seek prompt medical advice, an ultrasound led to an orchiectomy in May to remove the tumor, which was identified as embryonal carcinoma. To prevent the aggressive form of cancer from spreading, he underwent a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in June, followed by two rounds of chemotherapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
Reeve emphasized that seeing his parents face extreme hardship with grace inspired him to share his story to encourage others, particularly young men, to prioritize early detection and medical screenings. Now fully recovered, he expressed profound gratitude for his wife, family, medical team, and supporters, noting that the experience reaffirmed what matters most in life as he returns fully to his television reporting duties.
