On April 17, Vergara’s Magic Mike star hubby, 39, posted a sweet tweet dedicated to his supportive spouse. “I love my wife,” he wrote.

Asked what prompted Manganiello’s adorable online gesture, the Colombian-born actress explained to ET, “I’m always very special with him, so it must have been one of my normal days,” before adding with a laugh, “That’s how I am.”

As previously reported, Manganiello entered the hospital in mid-April for an appendix removal; but when doctors began to perform the surgery, they reportedly ran into complications.

The True Blood alum dropped out of a charity gala on Sunday, April 17, at the last minute due to unknown “health issues.” A source told Us Weekly at the time that Manganiello is expected to make a full recovery as his condition is manageable and nothing new.

Before news of his health scare broke, Manganiello made headlines for his exit from History Channel’s upcoming drama series Six. A network rep confirmed to Us that production for the project has been delayed as Manganiello’s role is being recast.
