HGTV’s Jasmine Roth Shares ‘Amazing’ Update After Daughter’s Surgery

Two years after Jasmine Roth’s daughter Hazel underwent surgery to address pediatric sleep apnea, she says her five-year-old is doing “amazing.” Now the HGTV star wants to raise awareness about the condition in hopes of helping other parents realize the importance of early detection and intervention.

Roth, who’s raising Hazel and 10-month-old daughter Darla with her husband Brett, shared an update on her oldest daughter’s health with MediaPlanet’s Future of Personal Health in early July 2025, noting that Hazel struggled with sleeping from the time she was six months old.

“I didn’t even know kids could have sleep apnea, so it wasn’t on my radar at all,” she told the outlet, adding, “We had sleep consultants try to help us, but we never figured it out. Then, when she was a little over 3 years old, she started doing this weird snorting noise when she slept. We took her to the pediatrician, who recommended we go to an ENT, who knew immediately what was going on.”

Jasmine Roth’s Daughter Hazel is ‘Sleeping Like a Champ’ After Surgery

According to Mayo Clinic, sleep apnea in children is different than in adults, who typically develop it due to obesity and experience daytime sleepiness as a result. In children, per Mayo, the cause is typically “larger than usual adenoids and tonsils” and can result in “complications that can affect children’s growth, cognitive development and behavior.”

Roth told Future of Personal Health that the ENT they saw said Hazel’s “adenoids and tonsils were swollen” and that she would likely need surgery due to sleep apnea.

“That was the first time we heard kids could have sleep apnea,” Roth recalled. “It sounded like a really big deal to us, so we actually opted to do a sleep study first before the surgery. Her tests came back that she had borderline severe sleep apnea — she was waking up seven times per hour.”

Hazel underwent tonsil and adenoid reduction surgery at Children’s Hospital of Orange County in California in November 2023, and though Roth shared on social media that it was nerve-wracking for the family to go through at the time, she told Future of Personal Health that Hazel’s “recovery was quick, and it’s been a game-changer for her.”

When the outlet asked how the soon-to-be kindergartener is doing now, Roth replied, “Amazing! Hazel is sleeping like a champ! Five or six weeks after surgery, she slept through the night for the first time, which means we slept through the night. She has no issues — just goes to sleep, sleeps through the night, and wakes up in the morning, which anybody with a child knows is a big deal.”

Jasmine Roth Encourages Parents to Watch for Warning Signs of Pediatric Sleep Apnea

Roth wishes more parents knew about pediatric sleep apnea, having gone without answers — and lots of sleepless nights — for over two years.

“For me, it’s less of a miseducation and more of just a complete lack of education,” she told Future of Personal Health. “We all know to do our pediatric checkups. I read all the books, and I have friends and family who have babies. I don’t want to say I knew it all, but I felt like I had a pretty good handle on things to look for. This was definitely not on my radar, and I wish it had been, because I think if it had been, I would have been a little bit more prone to diagnose it, or at least notice it and get it diagnosed sooner.”

Roth advised parents, “Don’t assume it’s normal if your child is a year old and they’re not sleeping through the night. Don’t ignore it and just say, ‘Oh, they’re a bad sleeper.’ Most likely, it’s something that’s a bigger issue.'”

“Developmentally, our children need sleep to grow and change,” she continued. “Don’t wait to get it taken care of, because it really could lead to bigger issues further down the line.”

Roth has been busy filming a fifth season of “Help! I Wrecked My House” in Utah, where her family moved from California in 2024. A season premiere date has not been announced yet.
