"On Dec. 27, 2022, I had a stroke," he revealed on the new Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, which was released on Feb. 16. "I spent five weeks in a coma, and I couldn't walk, and I couldn't talk. And I thought to myself, what was I going to do?... I'm the person who taught models how to walk, and now I can't walk."
The reality star, who also worked on Top Model Russia and Top Model China following his ANTM reign and supported the Savanna College for Art and Design for 15 years, was heartbroken by his health crisis. "It was emotional, I cried. I'm not ashamed to say I cried," he said. Luckily, he had his old friends to lean on: "Once I was in the hospital, Jay [Manuel] and Nigel [Barker] came to visit."

But the silver lining was that the crisis reunited the dynamic trio, who starred in ANTM together for nearly a decade. "I thought back to how we used to do shows together," said Alexander. "I cried because I just missed them so much."
"You're battling through. You're sitting up doing an interview. Chatting, talking, rolling your eyes. Making us laugh," said the photographer. "It's a long journey, but you're going to get there. I know it's been really, really hard."
