In a podcast interview released Oct. 23, veteran journalist Christiane Amanpour revealed she's once again battling ovarian cancer.

Christiane Amanpour's cancer journey has been a winding one, but she's pulling through.

The 67-year-old British Iranian journalist and CNN chief international anchor revealed that she's battling ovarian cancer again during an appearance on the "Changing the Ovarian Cancer Story" podcast that was released Thursday, Oct. 23. The health revelation comes four years after Amanpour first revealed she had the disease, later undergoing several months of chemotherapy treatment.

"I have it again, but it's being very well-managed, and this is one of the whole things that people have to understand about some cancers," Amanpour told host Hannah Vaughan Jones.

Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread to the pelvis and abdomen, which makes the disease more difficult to treat, according to Mayo Clinic. Symptoms include abdominal bloating or swelling, quickly feeling full when eating, weight loss, frequent need to urinate, changes in bowel habits and discomfort in the pelvic area.

Here are more stars who opened up about their health struggles.Model and socialite Lori Harvey revealed she has been battling polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis for years. In a September 2025 episode of the "She MD Podcast," the 28-year-old entrepreneur said gynecologists dismissed her symptoms for years before she received a proper diagnosis.

Opening up about her 2021 diagnosis, Amanpour said she decided to go public with her cancer status "because I actually wanted to do a service, not just to my viewers, but also to those who might be in a similar situation."

"I wanted to say what had happened to me," Amanpour reflected. "And I wanted to say listen to your body because part of the reason I got such quick care was because I listened to my body and went straight to the doctors."
