Jason Kennedy is asking for prayers for his son.
The entertainment journalist, 43, who shares two children with wife Lauren Kennedy, 36, posted a picture on Instagram showing the back of his 2-year-old son Ryver’s head as the pair sat on a hospital bed. In the caption of his joint post with his wife, Jason asked for prayers for their son, who is in the ICU with an infection.
“If you could say a prayer for our boy Ryver it would mean a lot,” the couple shared in their caption. “Day 2 in pediatric intensive care, the infection is leaving doctors perplexed and we are hopeful for more answers today. Gutting to see him in this kind of pain. This song has been our anthem ??.”
Several celebrities shared their well wishes for Ryver in the comments of the post. “Prayed for the baby boy ??,” wrote Kourtney Kardashian Barker, while Heather Dubrow added, “Praying for your sweet boy ???.”

The E! News host and his wife are also parents to 16-month-old Poppy Ford. The couple announced the arrival of their baby girl in a joint Instagram post in October 2023, which included photos of the little one.
“I’m sure your feed could use some good news today — we wanted to share that our angel, Poppy Ford Kennedy, arrived on 10•10 and she’s giving all of you a big hug right now,” Jason and Lauren wrote in the caption, revealing that their daughter was born on Tuesday.
“?ryver, lo, jase & bennie,” the pair signed off their note.

The Kennedys teamed up with Crate & Kids at the time to design the nursery of their dreams for their newest addition.
“Our home is just very neutral and peaceful,” Lauren said of the inspiration behind the nursery. “We have an 18 month old and the way I did his nursery corresponded with the rest of our house.”
“So we wanted the same with Poppy, and we’re just not very super baby in the nursery. [We] wanted it just peaceful and [to feel] like it reflected our home,” the mom of two continued. “A lot of neutrals and pretty wood and all of that.”
