The reality TV star was hospitalized after a "heart emergency."
Chapman, three months after his beloved wife died of cancer, was admitted into a Colorado hospital this week.
A statement on Chapman’s Twitter account confirmed the reports of his hospitalization.
"I can confirm Dog is under doctor's care and is resting comfortably. Thank you for all of your well wishes- keep 'em coming."

Earlier this month, Chapman admitted he's been struggling with loneliness after the death of his wife, Beth Chapman.
Chapman says the hardest part is being alone. The couple were married for 15 years but together a total of 31 years.
Beth died in July at age 51. She was first diagnosed with stage II throat cancer in September 2017. While the Hapmans had believed Beth to be completely cancer-free after its removal, last year doctors informed her that cancer had returned and was incurable after it had spread to her lungs.
Chapman has not announced the root of the heart problem. Chapman's daughter, Bonnie, took to Instagram and posted an old photo.
