KISSIMMEE, Fla., Sept. 3 (UPI) -- Bobby Brown's wife and manager, Alicia Etheridge-Brown, suffered a diabetes-related seizure in Florida during the weekend, People.com reported.

Etheridge was diagnosed with the disease in 2009. She was hospitalized after suffering a seizure in a Kissimmee, Fla., hotel room.

People.com said there has been no update on her condition since Brown confirmed via Twitter his wife's hospitalization Saturday.

"The report that my wife was rushed to the hospital is true," Brown tweeted. "She is recovering and is in good spirits and doing well. Please keep my family in your prayers."

Brown was scheduled to perform with New Edition show at the Gaylord Palms Resort, but canceled so he could be with his spouse.

Brown's career has been on an upswing lately, but his personal life has been rocky. His ex-wife, singer Whitney Houston, accidentally drowned in a hotel bathtub last February after using cocaine. She was 48. Soon after she was buried, Brown -- a recovering drug addict and alcoholic -- was arrested for driving under the influence and ordered to check into rehab as part of a plea deal.

Brown married Etheridge-Brown in June.
