Sophie Kasaei has her 'whole world back' as beau Jordan Brook leaves hospital
Sophie Kasaei is delighted that her boyfriend Jordan Brook is back home after 22 days in hospital, where he battled viral meningitis and encephalitis.
Sophie Kasaei feels like she has "got [her] whole world back" after her boyfriend Jordan Brook was discharged from hospital after three weeks.
The Only Way Is Essex alum battled viral meningitis and encephalitis - a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, in which the brain becomes inflamed - but after 22 days of being hospitalised, he returned home on April 1 in time for Easter.
And on Sunday (05.04.26), Geordie Shore star Sophie, 36, expressed her joy of being reunited with Jordan - whom she has dated since 2022 and is 30 weeks pregnant with their first child, a baby boy.
She shared sweet shots of the pair back home to Instagram with the caption: "Watching you walk out of those hospital doors felt like getting my whole world back.
"These past weeks have been the hardest I’ve ever known. But you never stopped fighting, not just for yourself, but for us for your family, for our little boy growing inside me.
"The goal was to be home for Easter, and you did it! Having JB home, hand on my bump, smiling again means more than words will ever be able to say. We are blessed, grateful, and whole again.
"Happy Easter from us. Enjoy it with loved ones, sit back soak it up. Life is a precious gift. (sic)"
Jordan, 31, penned that "life really is a precious gift" and that "it’s so good to be back where I belong again", but noted that there is "still a bit of a road but we’ll walk it together" in the post's comments section.
On April 1, Jordan revealed he was well enough to be discharged from Basildon University Hospital in Essex.
He shared a video of himself saying goodbye to the medical team that cared for him, as well as reuniting with Sophie, on Instagram and captioned it: "I’M GOING HOME. 22 days in a hospital bed, broken memory from my first admission.
"The top 1 percent of the worst case of viral meningitis and encephalitis that my Dr has ever seen. Brain swelling, inflammation. Acute memory loss, The only memories I have are ones I would like to forget forever.
"Let’s not dwell on the past. I have got through it, and I could never have got through this alone. (sic)"
Jordan then paid tribute to his family and friends for their love and support.
He continued: "Firstly my @sophiekasaei_ you and my baby boy have held me up and kept me in this fight like you wouldn’t believe. You are my whole life and I love you unconditionally. I can’t wait to get in bed with you tonight and start our future as a healthy family of 3.
"My dad @academymotorcycletraining I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am blessed and feel like 3 year old Jordan who needed he’s superman.
"You are my superhero my inspiration my rock, if I can be half the dad you are to my boy I will be the proudest man alive. Thank you for never leaving my side in that hospital, endless nights on the floor holding my hand - Dad I love you my best friend.

"To all my friends and family who visited endlessly, bringing me energy and joy, showing support and seeing things no friends or family should have to see. I’m eternally grateful and love you all dearly you know who you are. (sic)"
Jordan went on to thank the medical staff who looked after him at Basildon University Hospital.
He continued: "To the Lister Ward at Basildon hospital. Drs and nurses and all staff who I feel have become a family to me. Thank you for every thing you have done for me I owe you so much.
"Your compassion your warmth and total understanding at times when I was being extremely scared and hard work. You never turned your backs on me. Thank you for saving my life! You are a credit to the NHS, to humanity and amazing, kind, extremely hardworking people! (sic)"

He concluded: "To anyone else battling anything of this kind let this be your light - you can and will beat whatever you are going through - Never Give Up. JB. (sic)"
