Here’s how our favorite “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” couple made the absolute most of their time together.

If you know anything about Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes and her husband Gregg Leakes, then you know they had their forever fans constantly ROFL (rolling on the floor laughing). 

On Wednesday, September 1, news broke that Gregg lost his battle with colon cancer. The 66-year-old was first diagnosed in 2018 and was then in remission for two years before the cancer returned in June 2021.
