Published:|Updated:

Colleen Hoover has announced that she is officially cancer free.

In a new update, the 46-year-old It Ends with Us author and producer confirmed she has completed radiation treatment and that ‘all is well’ with her health.

Hoover revealed the news in a statement shared on Facebookaccording to Peoplejust one week after she shared news of her battle with the disease.

She explained: ‘I was diagnosed sometime last year, had surgery that was successful, just finished radiation yesterday.’

Concluding her post, she added: ‘I am done and good and all is well and has been well. My doctors doctored. Hell yeah.’

Hoover shared her cancer diagnosis earlier this month.

Taking to social media, she uploaded a selfie from the hospital in which she wore a blue hospital gown and her hair in a messy bun.

Grimacing in the photo, she said she was undergoing her ‘second to last day of radiation.’

‘I wish I could blame my hair and facial expressions on Texas Oncology, but they’ve been great,’ she added.

‘Hope you never need them, but highly recommend them.’

Hoover is the brains behind both It Ends with Us and Regretting You, both of which were adapted for the screen.

But her It Ends with Us film was overshadowed by behind-the-scenes drama after lead actress Blake Lively filed a legal complaint accusing Justin Baldoni and his production company of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.

Baldoni denied the allegations and later filed a $400million countersuit against Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, claiming they defamed him and tried to launch a smear campaign.

Much of his countersuit was later dismissed by a judge.

The case is slated to return to court for a January 22 hearing with a May 18 trial date looming.

Hoover had alluded to a health problem late in 2025 when she missed major milestones ahead of the release of her other film, Regretting You.

‘I’m super bummed but am having an unavoidable surgery and can’t travel for a while,’ she wrote in October.

She added she was ‘so sad to miss this movie release and premiere, but so grateful to all the actors and the team who put this together.’

Hoover said in a separate Facebook post that the cancer had been ‘removed through surgery’ and that it would be further treated with radiation.

‘While it felt huge and scary for a bit, and I had to miss out on the Regretting You premiere, and some other important career and personal moments, I just wasn’t ready to share with anyone until I knew what the outcome would be,’ she wrote.
