Jordan has opened up about the family’s heartbreak after it was revealed Levi was diagnosed with a degenerative disease in 2021.
In an interview with The Significant Others podcast, Jordan said it took a long time for Levi to be diagnosed with the unspecified condition.
She described the devastation she and Gary felt after learning the condition was “life-threatening.”

“All I remember is sitting at that meeting with Gaz, and when they said it, all I remember is absolutely breaking down,” she said.
“Life expectancy is very short, which is why I keep telling people when they ask about Levi that we literally just take it day by day because we have no idea what the future holds,” she continued.
After seeing a number of pediatricians, Jordan said it was Geelong Football Club’s team doctor who finally put her in touch with the right person.

She said this new pediatrician “got the ball rolling,” and after months of hesitation, the couple, who married in 2016, finally had some answers.
Jordan said she and Gary were initially concerned when they realized Levi wasn’t hitting the same milestones as other kids his age.
They decided to go public with the little boy’s condition because they didn’t have to lie when people asked about their son.
