During a latest sit down interview with Craig Melvin on the Today show, Simone gave the world a uncommon glimpse into their love story, one that was constructed quietly behind the scenes while Chadwick was combating a battle most people didn’t even know existed. The particulars have been lovely, heartfelt, and a reminder that even in the center of pain, love still finds a method to shine.
Let’s start with the proposal, because it wasn’t flashy or over-the-top. Simone recalled a cozy staycation in 2019, proper after Chadwick had a temporary remission from colon cancer. The couple have been chilling and determined to put on a film, she’s reaching around trying for the distant, and instead? He gently locations a ring box in her hand.
“We did a little staycation and we were sitting in front of the fireplace and I wanted to turn a movie on and I’m feeling under the blanket for the remote and he was like, ‘Right here,’ and he puts the ring box in my hand, so I pull out my hand and I’m holding this ring box,” she recalled while talking to Craig Melvin.
Not long after, the couple quietly tied the knot in 2020. No big Hollywood manufacturing, no headlines at the time. Just household, love, and intention. Simone shared that their wedding ceremony included only their closest circle: mother and father, siblings, and a few family members.
“It was a celebration and a time that we needed to celebrate.”
Even Denzel Washington noticed what was there. Back in 2020, he revealed that he once told Chadwick to go forward and “put a ring on it” after seeing how Simone cared for him. At the time, he didn’t know the full weight of what Chadwick was dealing with, but he acknowledged real love when he noticed it.
That second got here during what Simone described as “a beautiful year,” a time when hope felt real again. Chadwick had overwhelmed the chances briefly, and at the same time, he was stepping into global superstardom following the success of Black Panther. The world noticed a superhero.
“I think when he was initially diagnosed, we both felt very sure that he would make it through,” Simone recalled. “It was gonna be a challenging moment, but something that he would come out on the other side of and be fine.”
Behind closed doorways, Chadwick was battling colon cancer with grace and privateness. Simone shared that when he was first identified, they both believed he would make it through. And even as issues took a flip, he never let the sickness outline him or slow down his function.
“What’s more important about Chad is the way that he lived,” Simone said.
As for her grief, Simone retains it trustworthy. She described it in a method that hits home: the pain doesn’t disappear, but “the edges get less sharp.” It’s still there, just… different.
Through it all, her story isn’t just about loss. It’s about love that was real, intentional, and highly effective enough to carry on.
