Smallville star Tom Welling recently revealed that his wife, Jessica Rose Lee, played a key role in saving his life during a frightening health scare. Speaking on the Inside of You podcast, Welling said her quick actions made all the difference: “If I’d fallen the other way, it could’ve been much worse.”

Welling, now 47, rose to fame in the early 2000s with Smallville, a role that kept him working long hours for a decade. The demanding schedule took a toll, leaving him disconnected from loved ones. After the show ended in 2011, he took time off to regroup and adjust to normal life.

He was previously married to model Jamie White, but they split in 2015. Their divorce, finalized in 2019, included a spousal support agreement and division of assets.

Welling later married Jessica in 2019, and the couple now shares two sons. Despite his recovery from the health scare, Welling admitted Jessica endured the hardest part, handling the emergency while pregnant.

In early 2025, Welling faced another challenge when he was arrested in California for allegedly driving under the influence.

These days, he embraces his gray hair and beard, sharing behind-the-scenes moments from projects like Mafia Wars. Fans continue to show love, praising his evolving look and continued presence in Hollywood.

Welling’s journey reflects growth through both struggles and successes, with family and resilience at the core.
