“I’m 28, I consider myself pretty healthy. I work out regularly, I eat healthy. And I became symptomatic a few days ago,” he shared in a post on his social media. “Got my test results back today and they are positive. And it’s been kicking my ass, just to put it very bluntly,” Underwood said in the video.
The former football player has been self-isolating in the Huntington Beach, Calif., family home of his girlfriend, Cassie Randolph, who he met during his 2019 stint as The Bachelor.
