TheHome Townstars already have a solid track record of taking care of each other when health issues arise, most notably during their earlier years together.
As detailed in the Napiers' memoirMake Something Good Today, a mysterious illness had plagued Erin for a decade, starting when she was 19. “It was a really sad and scary and confusing ten years,” she told PEOPLE at the time. Ben cared for her through episodes that could last up to a week, leaving her unable to move without pain.
In 2014, doctors finally discovered the cause of the rare condition: a perforated appendix that had been bursting and healing itself repeatedly for years causing her organs to be wrapped in scar tissue.

Erin and Ben metwhile attending Jones County Junior College in Michigan. “He was like a celebrity crush to me,” Erin told PEOPLE. “He was the president of every club and very popular but not exclusive. I would see someone eating alone in the cafeteria, and there was Ben, pulling up a chair beside them.”
