Jared Padalecki is on the road to recovery.
Earlier today (Apr 27), Padalecki took to his social media to share an honest update on how he’s been doing since being in a car accident.
“Hey y’all! I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love. I’m definitely on the mend and hoping to return to filming later this week. I’m so lucky to have had the best care and be surrounded by people who love me. So grateful for everyone🙏#SPNFamily #WalkerFamily #akf”

Padalecki’s update comes a few days after his Supernatural co-star, Jensen Ackles, broke the news of the crash to the public during the show’s New Jersey convention.
“He was in a very bad car accident,” Ackles explained. “He wasn’t driving, he was in the passenger’s seat.”
“He’s lucky to be alive,” Jensen revealed. “And not only that, but he’s at home recovering which the fact that he’s not in a hospital right now is blowing my mind because I saw the car.”
The Boys actor went on to explain that although the crash was bad, Padalecki is back up and moving towards a full recovery. “That airbag packs a punch. He’s like, ‘I feel like I went 12 rounds with Tyson.’ But he is doing OK, and he’s moving around. But yeah, (it was a) really, really bad car accident. Just keep him in your thoughts, send him some love if you get a chance on social, and he’ll be back with us soon.”
As of right now there’s not a lot of information on the crash besides the fact that there were zero fatalities and the cause of the accident is still unknown, but we here at Celeb Secrets are sending our thoughts and prayers to the 39-year-old actor as well as his family and friends.
