NeNe Leakes Shares Heartbreaking Tribute Video for Her Late Husband Gregg Leakes: 'I'm Lost Without You'

NeNe Leakes is honoring her late husband, Gregg Leakes, by remembering their last moments together. On Sunday, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared a video dedicated to Gregg on her YouTube page titled, "I'm lost without you."

"My life was turned upside down after losing my husband Gregg, now I'm forced to navigate life alone after sharing it with my partner of 27 years," the video's description reads. "I have taken time to reflect and now look forward to new beginnings. I'm hopeful for what life will bring and welcome you to witness my journey."

The video features photos and videos of Gregg, who died in 2021 at the age of 66 following his battle with colon cancer, with a voiceover from NeNe describing the couple's final night and the celebration of life that followed Gregg's death.

"The morning of Sept. 1, 2021, my whole life changed," NeNe begins her narration before she launches into her recollection of the night before and the morning of Gregg's passing. 

"That morning I came downstairs, Gregg looked totally different than the way he had previously looked and I got really upset," the reality star recalls. "I was like, 'Oh my God, what happened to Gregg? What have you guys done to him?' I was pulling and fighting and kind of like, just trying to take his shirt off and he was just totally different. He had not ever been this way... Yes, I knew he was passing but I just thought somebody had done something to Gregg."

NeNe shares that the house she called home with Gregg was filled with people during his last few weeks, explaining that all of their children and Gregg's family "never left his side." Gregg has six children -- Daryl, Damian, Dexter, Denton, Katrina as well as his and NeNe's son, Brentt. He was also a stepdad to NeNe's son, Bryson, whom she had from a previous relationship.

"I was like, 'Oh my God, what happened to Gregg? What have you guys done to him?'” she continued, recalling how she questioned his hospice caretakers. “He was pulling and fighting and kind of like, just trying to take his shirt off and he was just totally different. He had not ever been this way... Yes, I knew he was passing but I just thought somebody had done something to Gregg."

While Gregg usually denied taking morphine or other pain medications, NeNe instructed his caretaker to give him a little medication after Greg looked “very confused” and was “struggling to breathe.”

Knowing that he was “close to passing,” the reality star recalled filling their home with Gregg’s loved ones who “never left his side.” His six children — Daryl, Damian, Dexter, Denton, Katrina, their shared son Brentt and her son Bryson — were with him during his final days.
