After suffering from a spinal stroke in late January, Aaron is sharing a photo from the hospital where he is still recovering. In the picture, the actor is seen with tubes over his mouth, posing alongside his brother, Jarred, with whom he has grown even closer amid his health crisis.
Reports note that the 41-year-old has been communicating with his relatives via text messaging and FaceTime. His family shared that he is “awake, fully alert, interacting with his family and approved visitors.” Moreover, Aaron has regained “feeling in his legs,” a hopeful sign that his recovery is going well.
In a statement to People, Aaron said, “I went through a lot, but I’m focusing on God, my recovery, my family and close friends as well as my career.”

In late January, Aaron was rushed to the hospital after an incident at his home. He was walking up the stairs when his legs suddenly stopped working, causing him to take a tumble.
Initial reports stated that the actor was on life support and had a blood infection. After a few days in the hospital, it was determined that he had suffered a spinal stroke, a condition wherein blood doesn’t flow to the spinal cord due to blood clots.
As previously reported by The Blast, Aaron’s wife, Margarita, was beside him throughout the ordeal and consistently shared updates about his health. “He’s a fighter. He’s a very strong fighter,” she said.

In the middle of the actor’s recovery, his family shared that they had concerns about Margarita, specifically about the legitimacy of her relationship with Aaron.
According to The Blast, the family found out that Margarita was still married to another man, information that was confirmed by her daughter and niece. “We have found some alarming details. We, as a family, believe Margarita isn’t who she claimed to be to us. This has caused us to want to investigate her further,” Aaron’s family said.
Margarita and Aaron met online and married in 2024. In a statement to TMZ, Margarita said she and the actor “got spiritually married.”
At that time, Jarred said they wanted to wait for Aaron to recover before telling him about their concerns over Margarita.

On February 18, TMZ reported that Jarred filed a temporary restraining order against his brother’s “wife.” Based on the documents that were obtained, her legal name is Margaret DeLeon.
The petition was granted, and Margarita is ordered to keep her distance from Jarred and Aaron’s family members, and most likely Aaron himself.
Margarita said that Jarred is retaliating against her, adding, “I haven’t done wrong to Quinton. Quinton would not want this and Jarred is being selfish.”

Aaron’s family has talked to him about what they discovered concerning Margarita, and based on reports, the actor now wants nothing to do with her. “I do NOT want to see Margaret at all,” Aaron reportedly said, according to his family.
While Margarita admitted that she was still married to another man, she said that she was seeking a divorce. Aaron’s family has barred her from seeing the actor during his recovery.
As the family said, Aaron wants to publicly address the issue “in full detail” after he has fully recovered from his spinal stroke.
