Suki Waterhouse is recovering after a hernia scare, and she announced it in the most Suki way possible: on X, vape visible in her hospital photo.
Featured VideoOn Monday, English model-turned-singer Suki Waterhouse finally broke her silence on why she’s been less active on social media this year. In a post that was filled with self-deprecating honesty, Waterhouse revealed she had been hospitalized with a hernia. The culprit? Extremely tight pants she wore six months ago.
“‘Suki you never tweet anymore’ – have you ever considered I wore pants so tight six months ago it caused a hernia and I’ve been too scared to tell you?” she tweeted.

On the left, a photo of herself mid-performance in the very outfit that did her in—black leather pants paired with a white crop top and rhinestone-trimmed coat. On the right, a selfie from her hospital bed, vape clearly visible on her chest.
Fans immediately lit up the replies, not just sympathizing with the injury but also laughing at the painfully relatable cause. Many praised her candidness, but others couldn’t help but zero in on one detail: the vape.
One user joked, “model, actress, hernia,” while another said, “vape in the hospital is diabolical.” Suki replied:

One commenter summed it up, saying, “the earphones and the vape 😭 so astronomically real.”

Suki Waterhouse has never been just one thing. She began modeling at 16 and worked for high-end brands like Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger. Over the years, she expanded her creative reach, becoming a singer and actress known for both style and offbeat charm. Her 2024 studio album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin earned praise for its vintage sound and confessional lyrics.
Waterhouse has also used X to connect with fans in her own whimsical way, mixing tour updates with offhand observations. However, followers had noticed her sudden drop-off in posts over the past few months, which now makes sense given her hospitalization.

Although the couple became engaged in late 2023, they’ve kept their personal life largely private, never revealing their daughter’s name or wedding plans. Despite the hospital stay, Waterhouse’s fans are simply relieved to see her bouncing back and still vaping.
