ABC News Correspondent Will Reeve Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

ABC News correspondent Will Reeve recently opened up regarding his cancer diagnosis on September 29, 2026. The news comes just a few months after Reeve got married to his wife Amanda Dubin. Reeve, 34, currently reports for several ABC News platforms such as Good Morning America and ABC News Live.

Reeve shared that he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in April this year which left him “stunned”. Specifically, he was diagnosed with embryonal carcinoma, an aggressive form of testicular cancer that typically affects young-to-middle aged men.

He shared that his wife, Amanda, had encouraged him to seek medical attention after noticing a lump in his left testicle. An ultrasound revealed a tumor in his left testicle. Reeve subsequently underwent an orchiectomy in May to remove his testicle. Following the surgery, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.

“I hadn’t had surgery since I got my tonsils out at five. So I was more nervous about the unknown of the surgery rather than the overwhelming realization that I would be losing an essential part of my body forever.” Reeve recalled.

In June 2026, Reeve underwent a second surgery, a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, to remove lymph nodes in his body to prevent the cancer from spreading. He also opted to undergo chemotherapy after discovering that some of the removed lymph nodes were cancerous. After two cycles of chemotherapy, Reeve was declared cancer-free at the end of July 2026.

Reeve shared that his parents’ story motivated him to share his cancer story to the public. Reeve’s father, Christopher Reeve, was an actor, best known for playing Superman. Christopher passed away in 2004 from a complication after becoming paralyzed from the neck down. Reeve’s mother, Dana Reeve, was also battling cancer at that time. She passed away in 2006 from lung cancer. Before they died, Reeve’s parents started the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, to raise awareness on spinal cord injuries.

“Watching my parents up close take the adversity they faced in their lives and repurpose it into something hopeful left a major impact on my life and how I try to live it.” Reeve reflected. “I have felt so loved and supported and rooted for by family, friends and strangers alike for my entire life and that’s a big part of why I wanted to speak about this. I’m going to be fine. But this was a heck of a chapter.”

By sharing his cancer journey, Reeve hopes to raise awareness on testicular cancer.

"I want folks to know that this is a thing that can happen. It's shocking. It's weird. It's slightly awkward to talk about just because of what we're really discussing here, but that you end up okay, almost always." he shared.

He adds that “it’s easy to get caught up in the madness of modern life and forget what’s most important”, encouraging people to pay attention to their body and to get checked when they feel that something is wrong.
