Despite recent sightings of Jamie looking hale and hearty, reports have suggested that he is yet to fully recover from his undisclosed medical incident.

His gratitude was palpable when he returned to Instagram on May 3 to extend his appreciation for the outpouring of love and support, posting: “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.”

Reports claim that Jamie is doing so much better and he’s starting to feel like himself again. He’s not 100 percent and is still taking things easy, but he’s definitely on the road to recovery.

The actor has been spotted enjoying various activities around the city, from playing pickleball to golfing at a driving range near Chicago, demonstrating his continued progress towards recovery. During one of these outings, Jamie even had a heartwarming encounter with a fan when he returned a lost handbag to its owner. Captured on video, the incident was a reassuring reminder to his fans of his steady recuperation.

Despite Jamie’s ongoing recovery journey, he hasn’t yet disclosed the status of his halted film project, Back In Action, which also marked the comeback of actress Cameron Diaz. 

The film’s production faced numerous setbacks due to alleged behind-the-scenes drama that took place even before Jamie’s health scare.

As Jamie continues to recover, fans worldwide are waiting for him to shed light on his health condition. 

According to Nick Cannon, the new host of Beat Shazam, Jamie is a consummate professional who’s always been private about his personal life. 

“One thing I’ve always respected about how Jamie’s moved throughout his entire career, if you’ve noticed, he’s always been somebody who is extremely professional and extremely private,” he told Extra TV. 

“I mean, you don’t ever really hear anything other than just the great work that he puts forth as a professional and the fact that, you know, he’s handled this situation with the same manner, you only can respect that. ‘I believe when he’s ready, he’s going to address the awaiting fans in the world [about his health] the way that only he can.”
