Nene Leakes, “Real House Wife” star, has stated that her late husband Gregg Leakes gave his blessing to her new relationship before passing away.

Naija News reports that Nene’s late husband died of colon cancer in September.

The actress was photographed with her new boyfriend, Nyonisela Sioh three months after her husband death.

According to TMZ, the couple met through Peter Thomas, ex-husband of RHOA co-star, Cynthia Bailey.

In a new development, Nene has revealed in an interview with The Shade Room on Saturday that Greg asked her to be happy before he passed.

She said: “I will love Gregg forever & ever! Grieving is hard! Even harder & depressing alone.

“Gregg and I had a very tearful conversation before his passing. His words to me were ‘be happy, keep smiling and he who finds you, has found a good one.’”
