Nene Leakes misses her husband Gregg very much

alum Nene Leakes spoke to fans on Instagram Live about how much she misses her late husband, Gregg Leakes. During the live broadcast, the truth star, 56, responded to a fan who asked if she misses Gregg. Leakes began by saying that she misses Gregg “a lot.”

“There’s an old saying that you don’t miss a good thing until the shit’s gone, like the shit’s real,” she began. “I didn’t even realize how valuable Gregg was to my life or to us until he was gone. Because there were so many times I wanted to say, ‘Oh, Gregg would have liked that,’ you know? And then I had to remind myself that Gregg wasn’t here.”

It’s been over three years since Gregg’s death – he died of cancer on September 1, 2021 on the age of 66. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2018.

Leakes continued during her Instagram Live: “I miss Gregg so much, so much it doesn’t make sense, I really miss him, he was amazing. He did so much to push my career and support me,” she said. “It’s hard for anyone to step into his shoes, Gregg is that kind of guy. I feel like I was lucky and blessed by God to have such a wonderful husband for so many years.”

The Leakes have been married twice during their relationship, which some say is proof of their love. They first tied the knot in 1997 after which divorced in 2011. The former couple remarried in 2013 and remained married until Gregg’s death in 2021.

Since his death, the Glee star has been in relationship with dressmaker Nyonisela Sioh. The pair began dating the identical 12 months Gregg died, but their relationship appears to have been rocky. That includes multiple breakups and a lawsuit Leakes filed by Sioh’s ex-wife, who accused the TV star of breaking up marriages.

The last time we reported on the state of their relationship was in March 2024, once they appeared to be on good terms as all of them went all out for a festive event together.

Still, we may not know what is going on on between the pair, as Leakes has announced that she’ll be more reserved about her relationships in the longer term.

“My next relationship is going to be absolutely private. I think it’s the most public relationship I’ve ever had — it’s more public than Gregg. And I just feel like it’s best to be private,” she said during an interview on the Reality with the King podcast with Carlos King.
