“If your children are having symptoms, please get them tested,” the actress began.
She continued, “I thought my son had a cold or a fever, I did not know that he had Covid 19. With the encouragement of our doctor I had him tested. He tested positive.”
Frye revealed that she was on her way to a work trip when she learned the news of her children and immediately returned home, only to discover that two of her other children had also tested positive for the virus.
“I continue to have the deepest respect for all of the caretakers on the frontlines, doctors, health workers, and volunteers, I have more love and compassion for single parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, friends, and extended families that come together and jump in when needed.”
Frye later said that she does not know where her three children caught coronavirus from.
“I still don't know where my three kids caught this from. All of us that have been around them have tested negative. That is part of the mystery in this, how hard it is often to trace and how easy it is to spread. Please be safe.”
Frye and her ex-husband, Jason Goldberg, share four children, Poet Sienna Rose, 13, Jagger Joseph Blue, 13, Lyric Sonny Roads, 7, and Story, 5. Frye and Goldberg divorced in 2020 after 22 years of marriage.
