Chadwick Boseman’s wife, Simone Ledward Boseman, has stated the reason for keeping Chadwick’s four-year battle with colon cancer under wraps.
The late Black Panther actor’s wife revealed the reason in a conversation with Whoopi Goldberg for Good Morning America, which was her first official interview since her husband died in August 2020.
She said: “It was COVID, when things were really starting to spiral. And that meant that everybody was in their house, and there was no pressure for anybody to go outside. It seemed like, ‘Is this a crazy coincidence that we get to actually be inside, that we get to be here with family — together? And everybody in the world is also experiencing this togetherness in the midst of this awful, scary, unpredictable time?’ We kept that circle real — our circle was basically a dot.”
Simone disclosed how she has been keeping Chadwick’s legacy alive since his tragic death and said the past few years have been really challenging for her.
She said: “It has been the most challenging two years I’ve ever had in my life. Some days I’m doing worse than I’m really willing to acknowledge and other days I’m doing better than I feel comfortable admitting. The grief really, it moves in”, she admitted.
Simone further revealed that she considers herself very lucky to have been Chadwick’s partner and that they shared each other’s love though it was for a short period of time.
With tears in her eyes, she said: “I can’t believe that I was so lucky, I can’t believe that I got to love this person. And I also got them to love me too.”
Since Chadwick’s death, Simone has received many posthumous awards on his behalf. The awards include a Golden Globe for his work as Leeve Green in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, a Critic’s Choice award for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and an Emmy award for his voice in What if?
