Terry Crews’ wife, Rebecca, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 6 years after cancer battle

Terry Crews’ wife, Rebecca King-Crews, revealed her Parkinson’s disease diagnosis on the “Today” show Monday.

The 60-year-old was diagnosed back in 2015 but decided to “come forward now” because she recently underwent a procedure “to help with the symptoms on one side of [her] body.”

During a joint interview with her husband, she gushed, “I’m seeing improvement. … I’m able to write my name, my dates, I’m able to write with my right hand for the first time in probably three years.”

The singer noted she will “still [be] in recovery” for three months and continue to see improvement over that time, with a second procedure scheduled for September for the other side of her body.

Rebecca’s first symptom was a “slight numbness” in her left foot and her arm not swinging when she walked.

Her subsequent “shaking” arm was dismissed by a doctor as anxiety.

“It’s not uncommon with us ladies for someone to call everything stress,” she explained. “I asked for referrals, and I got them. And it took three years to diagnose me.”

Rebecca decided to share her story — despite previously not wanting “pity” before — because she “believe[s] we are going to find a cure” and wants to tell people about the procedure.

Terry, who married Rebecca in July 1989, got emotional praising the “superhero” as the “rock” of their family amid her health struggles.

The couple, notably, share five children — Naomi, Azriél, Tera, Wynfrey and Isaiah.

Rebecca previously beat stage 1 breast cancer in 2020.

“Watch[ing] her go through what she [went] through the last 10 to 12 years has been very, very hard,” the actor told viewers. “The tremors, the not sleeping, the loss of balance.”

The “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” alum continued, “But to watch her write her name for the first time in three years, let me tell you. I don’t know what to say, I’m choked up just thinking about it.”

The pair also opened up to People on Monday about Rebecca’s Parkinson’s battle.

“I’m doing 90 percent of what I want to do,” Rebecca told the outlet. “Terry is my rock. And I thank God that he has the means to take care of me, allowing me to go to doctors and get the procedures I need.”

Terry, for his part, added, “My mission is to make sure she gets the best care possible. Where she’s weak, I’m strong. There are days when there’s nothing I can do and I just have to hold her as she cries in my arms.”
