Chadwick Bosemen’s widow, Simone Ledward Boseman has come out to say that she was very lucky to love the late actor.

She recently had her say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, she really cannot believe how lucky she was to love her husband while he lived, and also got him to love her right back before his death.

Simone added that despite his demise, she still gets to have this beautiful spirit relationship with him.

Her words, “I can’t believe that I was so lucky, I can’t believe that I got to love this person. And I also got him to love me too.”

“We were on the side of the stage at a certain point, and I guess he didn’t know if I was really catching his hints. And he just randomly bent down and untied one of my shoelaces … as a little joke.”

“And I said, ‘Oh, OK, so this is flirting, this is him flirting with me.’ And then he got back down and said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’ He got back down, and he retied my shoelace.”

“He was so intentional. He did not go into anything with his eyes closed.”

“And I knew that I could follow him off the edge of a cliff because he’s got a plan, you know?”

“I think when I really realized that, it was like, ‘OK. This is it. We’re not going anywhere. I’m in it. He’s in it.'”

“He was just the smartest, most caring, most genuine, most just real, authentic, truth in everything – like nobody that I had ever met.”

“I met this person who was this wonderful man, and he then ended up being a global superstar. After Black Panther came out, it did kind of happen overnight.”

“Sure, he was an actor… but he was an artist. ”

“He was an artist, and he was a leader and he was a king. And that I got to be by his side for that – that he chose me to be by his side for that is just – it’s the greatest blessing.”

“Even with the pain of his loss, now I still get to have this beautiful spirit relationship with him.”

“And that, while it’s difficult to accept, is also beautiful because he’s an ancestor now. He is and he is never leaving me.”

On his disease, “There was always some level of concern, but we really do have a very, very trusted circle of people that were there to support him, and support me, and help us, you know, do the best that we could with the challenging time.”

“I think that like any human person, we all have fear, we all have doubt – we want to know that we’re doing the right thing,”

“And I think that there were a lot of times for him where he felt like he didn’t have someone that could give him the answers.”

“But that is really a lifelong lesson in knowing that the answers don’t exist outside of yourself – that you’re the only one with the answers.”

“He knew how many people depended on him for his advice – he was the person everybody went to, and I’m sure that was exhausting for him.”
