Bennett, 44, posted an Instagram video of Vaughan, 42, eating his first meal after undergoing a procedure to fix the condition.
“This is the first time over the over 3,400 meals I’ve sat across from him where I didn’t feel like he was fighting for his life just to get through it,” the Hallmark actor wrote.
“My husband has a condition that made it impossible for him to eat without throwing up for almost his entire adult life,” Bennett continued. “Yesterday he got the procedure to open up his throat and this is his first meal after fixing what’s called a Schatzki ring.”
A Schatzki ring, as explained by Bennett, “is a ring of tissue that forms at the lower end of the esophagus, near where it connects with the stomach. It can make eating incredibly difficult.”
The “Cake Wars” host said that he shared the post about Vaughan’s health battle “in case it could help someone who has this condition but didn’t know about it for 20 years like my husband.”
“Talk to your doctor and ask questions,” Bennett added, “you never know how much it can help your life.”
In the video, Vaughan enjoyed an omelette and hash browns as he got emotional in front of Bennett, who was recording him.
“Oh my God, babe. Is this what it’s like when you eat and it goes down?” the “Amazing Race” alum asked Bennett, who replied, “Yes.”
Fans and other celebrities showed Vaughan support in the comments section.
“Wow! I had no idea you were going through that. I’m so happy for you,” wrote former Hallmark star Danica McKeller.
“This angel deserves the world,” the “Young and the Restless” alum Hunter King said.
Bennett and Vaughan have been together since 2016. They met on the news program “Celebrity Page” when Vaughan interviewed Bennett.
“When I saw him setting up to do the interview, I thought he was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen,” Bennett told The Knot in 2021.
The actor further recalled, “I ran to the bathroom to fix my hair. I came out of the bathroom and his producer Jade was standing in front of me. I asked her this exact question: ‘Am I about to meet my future husband?’ And she said, ‘I think so.’”
The couple got engaged in Nov. 2020 and tied the knot at a resort in Mexico less than two years later.
