Terry Crews, Rebecca King-Crews’ Love Story

“To watch her go through what she’s gone through over the last 10 to 12 years has been very, very hard,” Terry said. “The tremors, the not sleeping, the loss of balance…to watch her write her name for the first time in three years? Let me tell you, man. I don’t know what to say. I’m choked up just thinking about it.”

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum—who shares daughters Naomi Burton-Crews, 39, Azriél Crews, 35, Tera Crews, 27, and Wynfrey “Winnie” Crews, 23, as well as son Isaiah Crews, 20, with Rebecca—called his wife of 36 years “the rock” of their family.

“She’s a superhero,” the 57-year-old said. “She did not want pity. That’s why she didn’t want to tell anybody before. But now, because of this procedure and because people don’t know about this, she said, ‘Now’s the time to tell so you can help someone else take advantage of the technology that’s out here right now.'”
