She previously opened up about how fifciult it was to take care of her husband during his illness, saying: ”It’s very, very hard to be a caretaker.

“People call and they say, 'How's Gregg doing?' and I want to throw the phone and say, 'How the f**k am I doing? I'm going crazy over here, Gregg is wearing me out!' 

“I am not good at this s**t! I would rather hire somebody. Gregg doesn't wants me to hire somebody.

“But I'm just not good. I'm not good at fluffing the pillow; I'm good at buying the pillow."

After her comments, Gregg publicly apologized to his wife in a lengthy Instagram post.

He wrote: "We always hurt the ones we love… because they allow us to hurt them rather than snap back.

"I'm tired of hurting my wife who is only trying to take good care of me and wants only the best for me too. 

“She deserves much more for her hard efforts and tireless hours spent on me.

“I pray to God to get it together… she's done NO wrong… this is ALL on me.”

Ending on an emotional note, he concluded: ”Cancer will change your life.”
