Suki Waterhouse is breaking her silence with a surprising—and relatable—update. After fans noticed her recent absence from social media, the actress and singer revealed that she’s been recovering from a hernia, which she believes was caused by wearing tight pants during a past performance.
Suki Waterhouse Opens Up About Hospital Visit
In a candid post shared on July 14 via X (formerly Twitter), the Daisy Jones & The Six star responded to fans who had been wondering why she had gone quiet online.
“‘Suki, you never tweet anymore,’” she quoted. “Have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I’ve been too scared to tell you?”
The 33-year-old performer accompanied the post with a photo of herself in a hospital bed, as well as a stage shot from her Memoir of a Sparklemuffin Tour—where she had worn black leather pants, a white crop top, and a glittery jacket. The bold look, while stylish, may have come at a cost.
A Setback Before Tour Resumes in August
Though the health scare temporarily slowed her down, Waterhouse is set to return to the stage on August 7 in Aspen, Colorado, when her North American tour resumes. Fans are eagerly awaiting her comeback following the unexpected hiatus.
The update provided some relief to her followers, who had grown concerned after her prolonged absence from public view.
A New Chapter with Robert Pattinson
The health revelation follows another significant milestone in Waterhouse’s life: motherhood. She and actor Robert Pattinson, her longtime partner, welcomed their first child a little over a year ago.
The couple, who began dating in 2018, kept their relationship mostly private until making their red carpet debut in 2022. They got engaged in late 2023, with Waterhouse confirming her pregnancy just a month earlier.
What’s Next for Suki Waterhouse?
With her recovery underway and her tour set to continue, Suki Waterhouse seems ready to return to the spotlight. The singer’s humorous and honest take on her wardrobe-related injury has only deepened fans’ appreciation for her candid personality.
Her story also serves as a lighthearted but important reminder of the risks of fashion-over-function choices—especially for performers on tour.
