According to CBS News, Colin had shared a tweet that appreciated concerns from people, saying:

"We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from everyone. My parents are receiving excellent care in Australia and are doing well..."

It was reported by Closer Weekly that Tom had broken the news of him and Rita contracting the coronavirus with an Instagram picture that showed a disposable glove thrown into the bin.

Hours after his post, his other son, Chet, had shared a video where he confirmed that his parents had gotten the virus during their time in Australia.

Meanwhile, Closer Weekly revealed that Tom had two other children, Truman and Elizabeth Ann. While he shares Chet and Truman with Rita, Colin and Elizabeth Ann were born during his relationship with Samantha Lewes, who died in 2002.

All four children managed to go into entertainment in one way or the other as Truman reportedly works as an intern at a production company and Chet had guest-starred on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Shameless," before he landed a recurring role on "Empire."
