Meredith Vieira’s husband Richard Cohen died at age 76 last month following a 50-year battle with multiple sclerosis.

Meredith Vieira and Richard CohenSantiago Felipe/Getty Images“I told her about the illness, because I sort of learned the hard way to get it on the table,” Cohen said during a 2019 interview with Yahoo Life. She spoke candidly about her husband’s illness during a separate interview with People that same year, telling the publication that Cohen was “doing OK.” At the time, he was also declared legally blind. (Vieira left Today in 2011 to spend more time with Cohen, but continued to host various TV series over the years including the 25 Words or Less game show.)
