Fedez rushed to Milan hospital by ambulance with gastric problems, days after birth of third child
The Italian rapper was taken to Fatebenefratelli hospital in Milan on Monday evening, days after welcoming his third child.
Emergency admission
Fedez, the 36-year-old Italian rapper whose real name is Federico Leonardo Lucia, was taken by ambulance to the emergency room of Fatebenefratelli hospital in Milan on the evening of Monday, 20 July 2026. Multiple Italian news agencies, including Adnkronos and ANSA, reported that the admission was prompted by acute gastric problems. Health sources cited by ANSA said his condition is not considered serious, though they cautioned that only medical examinations would determine the exact nature of the issue. No official statement has yet been released by the artist or his representatives.
A familiar hospital
The Fatebenefratelli facility is already a significant location in Fedez's medical history. In September 2023, he underwent emergency surgery there for a severe internal hemorrhage caused by bleeding from two ulcers, a procedure that required blood transfusions. He was later readmitted for an urgent gastroscopy after a new bleed before being discharged. The rapper had previously been treated at Milan's San Raffaele hospital, where in March 2022 surgeons removed a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor discovered at an early stage. The six-hour operation excised part of his pancreas along with the neoplasm; subsequent histological tests were favorable and no chemotherapy was needed. A further internal hemorrhage in July 2024 led to another hospitalization.

Personal joy overshadowed
The health scare comes just days after a happy personal milestone. Fedez's partner, Giulia Honegger, recently gave birth to their son, Edoardo Lupo, the rapper's third child. He shared the first images of the newborn from San Raffaele hospital on social media, writing:
A joy so great.
Fedez is already father to Leone and Vittoria, his two children from his previous marriage to influencer Chiara Ferragni. The timing of the gastric episode, so soon after the birth, has drawn attention from fans and Italian media.
Speaking openly about illness
Fedez has previously spoken about his decision to share his health struggles publicly. After his tumor diagnosis, he explained his reasoning:
I decided to talk about the illness on social media partly because I felt the need to share what was happening to me, and partly to help those who are living or will live through the same experience.
That openness has made each new health update a closely followed story in Italy. As of Monday night, further details on his current condition were awaited.
