Meredith Vieira and Late Husband Richard Cohen's Relationship Timeline


Meredith Vieira stood by late husband Richard Cohen's side throughout their marriage as he battled multiple sclerosis for over 50 years

In a follow-up tweet, she thanked fans for their “kind thoughts and prayers” and joked that “Richard is feeling better and already flirting with the nurses!” (Cohen previously battled colon cancer in 1999 and 2000.) So, imagine somebody, every day, about 6 a.m. till about 8 p.m. at night, face pressed to the computer, typing with one hand,” Vieira said on Today while discussing Cohen writing his fourth book, Chasing Hope. Kotb explained on Today that the couple’s kids reunited around Thanksgiving because “they were concerned they were gonna lose him early.” Instead, they got to spend a “glorious month” with Cohen before his death.
