The 34-year-old shared a message with fans on Instagram on Thursday, thanking them for their support as she battles a viral infection she contracted while on holiday in Europe.

“I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has contacted us and messaged us with questions about Martha,” he wrote.
“She is offline and unwell with a viral infection. It’s taken a toll on her energy levels, but she’s fine and on the mend.”
It comes after Michael lost nearly $20,000 worth of Martha’s designer clothes a few weeks ago on his way to Europe.

He admitted it was a costly mistake, as getting the clothes from Sydney all the way to Europe was not easy.
Michael enlisted the help of Martha’s mother Mary, who found the clothes and shipped them to Italy, but the couple were no longer staying there by the time the package arrived.
He wrote on Instagram of their 13-hour journey from Turkey to Florence to finally find Martha’s holiday wardrobe.

The MAFS groom told listeners that the gaffe was even worse than the infamous sandwich saga in which he and Martha, 34, had a big argument in Florence.
The couple got into an argument when Martha went to the bathroom while they were waiting in line at a sandwich shop, and Michael just went to order himself a sandwich.
He told his podcast co-host Josh Moss that Martha was furious with him when she came back and realized she had to queue again.

They delighted fans in December when they announced their engagement.
