NeNe is happily married to Gregg Leakes, and the pair has been celebrating the fact that Gregg recently announced he's cancer-free. NeNe went public with her husband's diagnosis in 2018 on Instagram, writing alongside a photo of Gregg at a doctor's appointment, "Our New Normal and the fight begins." The two certainly have faced their fair share of ups and downs in their relationship, as they've even been married twice.

The couple first tied the knot in 1997, with their divorce finalized in 2011. But by 2013, they were fully back together and wed again, which was televised for a Bravo spinoff special titled I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding.
