George Lopez recently underwent a kidney transplant with a kidney donated by his wife. George and Ann Lopez “are resting comfortably in their Los Angeles home and are both expected to make a full recovery,” according to a statement released Monday by a publicist for the actor-comedian.
The operation occurred last week at an undetermined location, although officials confirmed it took place in Los Angeles. Lopez, star of the ABC comedy “George Lopez,” suffered a genetic condition that caused kidney deterioration, the release said.
Filming on his TV show is done for the year. Lopez also had completed work on “The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl,” a film directed by Robert Rodriguez and opening June 10.
Lopez and his wife, a producer, have been married 12 years and have one child, a daughter.
