Mauro had to be hospitalised in 2024 after having a seizure in the bath.
Legend's wife Sarah said she found their youngest son Mauro 'jerking uncontrollably' with his face down in the water during the terrifying health scare.
Sarah pulled their son from the water and shouted to Matt for help before calling an ambulance.
They were told by medics Mauro had Febrile seizures, which was triggered by chicken pox.
A shaken Sarah wrote: 'Last week Mauro suffered from something called febrile convulsions.
'He was coming down with chicken pox and the fever caused seizures/ fitting (it is quite common in children around the age of 2 during the onset of an illness).
'We called an ambulance which came quickly and got us to hospital and he is fine now (just waiting for the last of the spots to go).

'Anyway the first seizure happened when he was in the bath and within moments he was face down under the water and jerking uncontrollably.
'Luckily I was sitting next to the bath and was able to pick him straight up and call Matt to help but it makes me feel sick to think of what might’ve happened.
'I wouldn’t usually share stuff like this but it’s easy to quickly put the socks in the wash or grab some pyjamas while the kids are in the bath but basically don’t… defo not worth the risk!
'P.s. As you can see, he’s much better and enjoying his holiday' (sic).
A febrile seizure (febrile convulsion or fit) can sometimes happen when a child has a high temperature. It's not usually serious, but it's important to get medical help.
Sarah shared a picture of Mauro in a hospital bed as he recovered from the health scare.
The mother-of-two also uploaded several photos from their sun-soaked family holiday, with Mauro back on his feet again.

Legend is a former Championship bronze medal winning long and triple jumper, and silver medal winning powerlifter, loved the 'showmanship' of competing.
After retiring from international competitions, he continued performing to a huge audience becoming highly successful fitness influencer and professional YouTuber - amassing over 355 million views.
In 2020, he released his first book, 'The 24/7 Body'. Bringing all his power and strength to the series, the contenders will not forget Legend.
He said: 'I've been training like a beast for the show but realistically I didn't need to. I could've spent the last two months eating doughnuts and playing Dungeons & Dragons and I'd still be better than everyone else.
'I'm called Legend for a reason. I can only apologise for the irreparable damage I'm about to do to the contenders. Actually, that's a lie, I'm not sorry at all. I'm actively looking forward to it'.
