The couple learned Gregg had cancer on May 5, 2018. After initially refusing chemotherapy, Gregg decided to have the treatment and had undergone six months of infusions on April 4, 2019.
The illness caused a considerable amount of strain in their relationship, and at one point the RHOA star considered filing for divorce.
"The times you’ve been extremely mean I’ve felt like I want to break up, I want a divorce. I’ve felt very alone, and this has been very hard," she told her husband on the March 24 episode of the Bravo show.
