Brittany Snow is detailing a hardship she’s previously kept private.
The Pitch Perfect star recently shared that her father, John Snow, has been battling Alzheimer’s disease for the last several years, and opened up on how it has affected their close relationship.
“I’ve never shared this before, but I feel compelled to now,” Brittany said on the Aug. 12 episode of Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson and Olivia Allen. “My dad has been dealing with Alzheimer’s for a really long time.”
As she and the duo discussed their need for physical closeness and a feeling of “home” in their loved ones—particularly male guardians in their lives—Brittany noted that while she and her father were once the “closest” in their family, it doesn’t feel that way anymore due to his illness.
“To the point where there is no physical touch in that way,” the John Tucker Must Die alum added. “There is no home in that way.”
But while she described the hardship, the 38-year-old clarified that she’s thankful to have this time with her dad at all—no matter how it has changed their relationship.
