Her father’s real estate company, The Alba Team shared more details about his condition on their Instagram page and detailed that Mark recently battled Covid-19 with thyroid cancer.

“As a family and a team we have been dealing with health scares and some of us have had Covid and recovered,” the post read. “Mark in particular has battled Covid-19 and thyroid cancer (the reason he’s showing off his new neck scar) in the past few months, with some radiation on the way soon for healing.”

But he seems to be in good spirits despite his diagnosis, “He’s positive and feeling great right now. It takes a lot to keep Mark down,” the post continued.

In June of last year, “L.A.’s Finest” stars Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba spoke with Access Hollywood’s Kit Hoover and revealed that not only have their husbands, Dwyane Wade and Cash Warren become friends, but they’ve also bonded over being girl dads.
