MICHAEL Buble’s three-year-old son Noah is “on the mend” after receiving treatment for liver cancer, his aunt has reportedly told an Argentinian journalist.

Morning TV Tomas Dente said he had received a message from the child’s aunt Daniela Lopilato.

“She tells me, ‘Yes, Noah is recovering and we’re very happy that’s the case. His parents will speak when they want to do so’.”

Dente continued: “There’s a sentence which I think is wonderful and has to do with the information a colleague of mine had received and I insist there’s no official confirmation because Noah’s parents haven’t spoken but in principle the youngster is on the mend. “The sentence is, ‘The cancer has gone.’”

The Sun reports that Ms Lopilato, the eldest sister of Buble’s wife, Luisana, appeared to distance herself from the reports last night.

She tweeted: “Don’t use my name in the media with information and things that I haven’t said. Noah is doing well and his parents will speak when they want to.”

The comments prompted Buble to issue a statement saying his son “has been progressing well during his treatment”.

He said doctors “are very optimistic about the future for our little boy.”

“He has been brave throughout and we continue to be inspired by his courage. We thank God for the strength he has given all of us,” Buble told Us magazine

Three-year-old Noah has been undergoing treatment since he was diagnosed with liver cancer last year.

The latest revelation was made on a program called ‘Nosotros a la Mañana’ on TV station El Trece.

Showbiz portal Teleshow also reported it had been told by sources close to Michael and his Argentinian wife Luisana that Noah was “free from cancer”.

The youngster’s parents, who confirmed their son had cancer in a statement posted on Michael’s Facebook page last November, have yet to make any official comment.

Buble, 41, has pulled out of work commitments including plans to host this year’s BRIT awards after being given his son’s devastating diagnosis.

Buenos Aires-based Ms Lopilato told Argentinian magazine Gente shortly after confirmation by Noah’s parents he had cancer: “If God wanted it to be discovered that way, it’s because he wants to save Noah.

“Cancer is a horrible illness but we have faith in Noah being able to overcome this.

“We know he will. The time to start a long and very difficult treatment has come but it’s got to be done.

“They say children are normally strong to put up with chemotherapy and my nephew is a warrior.”

Buble and Lopilato’s families organised a mass get-together over Christmas so they could spend time with Noah in Los Angeles instead of the Canadian singer’s mansion in Vancouver where they normally meet up for the festive season.
