Fifteen years ago, Gena was poisoned, and Chuck quit his job to sleep beside her hospital bed and care for her.
Chuck Norris, 82, and his longtime wife Gena, 59, celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary on November 28, 2022! He posted a wedding photo to honour the occasion. Chuck wrote that he loved and was best friends with his wife in the caption. The “Walker Texas Ranger” star, who turned 93 on March 10, 2023, almost didn’t get to spend his anniversary with his wife owing to a health issue she had a few years earlier. Chuck tried everything to make her better out of love. Gena told “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson” in June 2017 that she almost died following three MRIs in one week five years earlier. After she left the toilet, Chuck said, “I saw a go in her eyes.” The actor had to act then. Gena was mysteriously ill after three MRIs for rheumatoid arthritis. Machines triggerednesses. The star’s wife said she spent five or six nights in the ER as the symptoms intensified. A pre-MRI injection poisoned Gena.
Chuck moved his wife to Nevada for intense treatment and China for alternative medicine. “I laid in a bed at that clinic for five months on IVs every day, and my beautiful, amazing, wonderful, wonderful husband – who I’m so glad for – laid on a couch next to me,” Gena said. The actor read 17 volumes to his ill wife, dropping everything and staying by her side. Gena respectfully thanked her husband for all he did for her. Chuck Norris called himself the luckiest man in the world.
Chuck previously told CBS News, “My whole life is centred on keeping her as healthy as I could.” “I’ve had to give up my cinematic career,” he said, explaining his actions. The singer and his wife sued McKesson and other medicine firms for poisoning. Gena had brain damage, muscular withering, and more. Her husband said, “It was scared me to go, you know, and I said, ‘it’s not nothing’s going on here she’s was dying right in front of me.’”
After nursing his wife back to health, Chuck celebrated their wedding anniversary on Instagram on November 28, 2020. “I bless God for every day we are together,” the actor wrote with a wedding photo. He wished his “beautiful wife” a happy anniversary and that Gena was indescribable. Chuck thanked his wife for sharing his life.
