On Monday, March 10, 2025, the actor took to his official Instagram page to share a video of himself with his YOLO co-star Stephanie Younge, who visited his home to check up on him.
In the video, John Peasah, sporting a blue Lacoste shirt and jeans, looked cheerful as he and his colleague spent time together and he showed signs of recovery from his demyelinating disease.
He moved freely with any discomfort as he interacted with Stephanie, who played the role of Jane, his ex-girlfriend and baby mama in the YOLO series.
The actor beamed with a smile as he and his YOLO co-star posed for several photos while they sat on a comfy sofa inside a plush room.
In the caption of his Instagram post, John Peasah expressed his gratitude to Stephanie Younge for delaying her trip to visit him at his home and spending quality time together.
The actor also encouraged his YOLO co-star to continue praying for him as he continued his battle with his health struggles.
He wrote:
"Your visit meant the world to me, especially knowing you had a long journey ahead of you tonight. Your selflessness and thoughtfulness are a testament to the kind of person you are, and I’m grateful to have you in my life. @awo_diva. Pray with me wai."

The video of John Peasah spending time with Stephen Younge was the first sight of the actor in public since a video showing him reportedly getting spiritual healing from the leader of the Christ Embassy Airport City Youth Church (CECY), Pastor Enoch Ofori Boamah at his Friday Night miracle service on August 30, 2024.
The YOLO actor was captured sharing a testimony that he had been healed from a medical condition which affected the nerves in the brain, eyes, and spinal cord, which can lead to vision loss and immobility, among other effects.
He was also spotted walking freely without any assistance after receiving prayers at the event in the video which generated controversy on social media at the time.
Before the events that transpired at the church event, John Peasah had been plagued by a demyelinating disease, which had cut short his blossoming actor career and left him creating a GoFundMe to seek $280,000 to cover the cost of his treatments after his condition continued to deteriorate.
The actor had previously received financial support from the former vice president of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia after his visit to his home.
