9 Facts About Ant Anstead's Kids With His First Wife

Amelie Anstead has been open about how she suffers from several allergies. She even partnered with the food allergy app Spokin to raise awareness about allergies in teens by sharing her own experiences. In an interview with Spokin, she revealed, "I'm allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and was recently diagnosed with wheat, gluten, and yeast allergies." Because of that, the college student says she often chooses to cook her own food over going to restaurants, and she reads the labels on packaged food before she eats anything.

For Amelie, staying prepared has been key too, since she travels a lot for sports and to see her father, Ant Anstead, in California. That means she makes sure to always pack her EpiPen, allergy tablets, and inhaler, as well as her own snacks for any plane ride, because what they have isn't always allergy-friendly. However, Amelie seemingly wants it known that she hasn't let her food allergies hold her back in life, and she's inspiring others to follow her lead. "Having allergies can build your confidence massively if you let it. You're a bit different and so what? You have to own it," she said.

Amelie is allergic to more than just food though, because she wrote about her allergy to animals on Instagram too. Yet, she's still managed to have pets. She explained, "Finding a hypoallergenic dog was hard, but very possible," adding, "He doesn't drop hair therefore doesn't effect my allergies."
