Chadwick Boseman’s widow breaks her silence in exclusive 1st interview l GMA 

I can't imagine being in her position. Losing the love of your life at such a young age is one of my worst nightmares. I hope her heart is at peace.

I had the pleasure of spending an entire evening with Chadwick and Simone for a friends birthday. Chadwick was observant and quiet. He preferred to sit quietly to himself. Simone was vibrant, and captivating. He couldn’t keep his eyes off of her. She was so kind and breathtakingly beautiful inside and out. What a privilege to have shared a moment in time with them. To witness their love was a gift. Simone, continuing to lift you up sis. 🤍

I dont know why I mourn Chadwick’s death. I only saw him in movies, adored him as Black Panther. And when the news about his passing broke, I bawled my eyes out. 2 months later, my uncle and granny died. The pain of losing relatives almost felt the same as losing Chadwick. I think it’s because My heart just feels he was a great person and it was a huge loss for us that he left us early. Up to this day, I cry because he’s gone. I can only cope up a little by watching his films. We missed you dearly, Chadwick.

Losing him was like losing a family member.....He touched so many and will be missed, but remembered forever.

My heart breaks for Simone. She clearly loved Chadwick deeply. His legacy is so well preserved by her.

Simone you are a great woman and I'm glad Chadwick had you in his corner while he was fighting for his life. You are a big part of his legacy and you are making him proud!!

I don't think I'll ever be able to not cry when speaking about this extraordinary human being.

"Some days I'm doing worse than I'm really willing to acknowledge and other days I'm doing better than I feel comfortable admitting." well said when it comes to grieving.

Salute to Queens like Simone, Vanessa Bryant, and Lauren London for being as strong and courageous as they are. They suffer in silence while feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders with expectations to maintain legacy after a tragic loss. Persevere!

Chadwick Boseman - I cried when I found out he passed and I cry today, me a stranger, still selfishly wishing he was here. ❤ Bless you Simone! May your grief one day be replaced with a surplus of love and gods plan for you in full action!

The mere fact that he created this film with advanced cancer in pain and we never knew speaks volumes on his will and strive to live. Forever in our hearts ❤❤❤

I cried real tears watching the second Black Panther movie. At times I wanted to jump out my seat and say YES!!! Out loud but I didn’t want to be kicked out the theater. Whomever put the movie together did an excellent job! I was honored to watch every second. Listening to the interview, I teared up again. It’s just some love that’s unspoken. Blessings to his beautiful wife. RIP Chadwick “Black Panther” 🙅🏽‍♀️💜❤️🙏🏽

He is truly unforgettable! Simone Boseman is forever loved and an incredible lady!

I feel her pain, I lost my father from cancer when he was only 36, with 4 little girls. I was 12 years old and it change my life forever. It’s seems that Chadwick made every moment count and tried hard to teach that to others. Simone is such a beautiful strong lady but it is so hard to loose someone you love. I hope she’s doing okay.

Chadwick was a superstar even before Black Panther. He was a phenomenal actor and artist. His death was a real loss. Such a bright spirit taken so soon. May he RIP 🙏

When I heard that he had passed, I thought, "I heard that wrong! Did they just say Chadwick Boseman? He's too young." Sadly, it was true. Some people hit the jackpot in love and life. I'm so sorry for her loss. "The first graduating scholar." It's WONDERFUL how he and Denzel "paid it forward".

I can’t believe Chadwick had the sickness for 4 yrs. We all have nothing but love for Simone Boseman. Wakanda Forever is going to be the best movie ever. R.I.P Chadwick Boseman.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

May we receive our flowers when we are alive. He came across as a genuinely gentle soul. RIP.

The grief will never end. The shock from his illness makes it hard to heal from this. I am so happy to hear from his wife because she helps us to understand what was kept secret, but she has the hardest road ahead to heal. Prayers to Simone Boseman.

Lost my wife on September 7 2020 right after Chadwick’s passing … I feel her 1000 percent! Grief is so real.

She’s so gorgeous, I hope she finds love again cause she still deserves it🙏🏾❤️

Chadwick died on the day of my brother’s funeral and it was SO devastating. My heart breaks for her. It’s so hard. But she’s so strong and beautiful and poised. Sending her so much love. What she said was SO poignant; “Some days I’m doing worse than I’m willing to acknowledge and some days I’m doing better than I’m comfortable admitting” SO deep.

Being a stage 4 Breast Cancer patient it’s almost unbelievable to endure the disease with just a hand full of people. I remember his passing thinking he could he not survive believing he could afford the best team of doctors in the world. Then understanding God is in complete control, everything is in his hands. I was diagnosed 5/2018 with an aggressive form of breast cancer yet I’m still here fighting. I think of Simone often & Pray for her I know their desire was to have a long life together. I can’t imagine her pain.

Rest In Peace Chadwick Boseman and my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

I'm here for this! She is a STRONG black woman to have dealt with a sick husband and told no one! She also is upholding his legacy as well. Fantastic

I feel so terrible for people who lose their partners, especially so young in life. Sending my love.

First found out about Chad long before Black Panther. He was a reoccurring character on an ABC Family show called Lincoln Heights with Russell Hornsby. His portrayal of a veteran dealing with PTSD and life after coming home was stellar

My father has liver cancer and just seeing how sick he is I cannot imagine how Chadwick did all these movies, interviews, events and whatnot while fighting such a horrible disease! This man is an absolute legend and he will forever live in the hearts and minds of people around the world!

I'm glad that she was a part of Chad's life. She is a very lucky woman to have had a superhero in her life. I hope she realizes that even though Chad is not with her physically, his spirit is in her and always will be. R.I.P 👑!

I see why he loved her. She’s just as much a force and a light as him; maybe even more so and he knew only she could carry on the much needed work to be done. ❤️

There are some people in this world that we will never know personally who pass on and it hits like a very personal loss. He was one of those people which to me confirms he was doing exactly what he was supposed to be doing here. God blessed his life in a way that allowed him to leave a meaningful legacy behind for the ones he left behind and the ones that will come long after.

I feel her pain.I lost my husband this year.Please stay strong

So much love to this wonderfully brave lady who lost the most incredible guy. He must be watching over her, missing her and being so proud of her.

I didn't know him personally but he was an amazing actor and you could just tell he was an amazing person!

2:00 for anyone looking to skip Whoopie’s intro to hear to Simone. What a beautiful woman and a beautiful relationship. RIP Chadwick Boseman 😢

He found his soulmate and I'm grateful they were able to love each other though briefly. He was such a brilliant actor but also a wonderful human being who is sorely missed.

put me to tears everytime they talk about this man.

I'm still grieving Chadwick Boseman and Kobe Bryant...a touch of class that offered and still gives much inspiration. All together now" WaKanda Forever"! Not to mention I'm a widow also...bless these women please Lord.

My heart breaks for Mrs. Boseman. I have been married for almost thirty years and I told my best friend that thirty more years would never be enough. I hope God has brought her peace.

What a beautiful woman. My heart aches so deeply for her.

She really IS beautiful inside and out. Chadwick used to be my number 1 crush for a long time even before Black Panther and when I found out about their relationship I got a little bit jealous but happy for him, specially 🥰 He certainly watches over her. Only love ! May his beautiful soul continues resting in peace🙏🏾

She is a strong woman! This still hits hard in 2022. Our 6 year old has been obsessed with Chadwick since Black Panther was released. To this day, he watches it on repeat. We don't have the heart to tell him the truth about what happened. He truly believes he can be a superhero as an African American boy. Thank you Chadwick and RIH. You have forever changed the world ESPECIALLY for our sons!!!

Wow! What a great duo! When she speaks of him, she radiates. It’s beautiful to see how strong and courageous she is. I wish her all the best during this difficult time.

I think of Chadwick often and when I do, I think of Simone. They were ALWAYS together and he loved her fiercely. God bless her 💛

He was an amazing actor. In my eyes, he will always be Black Panther. 🖤💔

Chadwick Boseman was an incredible person with a giving spirit. It's still difficult till this day that he isn't here with us, but I'm thankful for his presence and the empathy and humility he embodied. He played so many iconic roles and never limited himself to anything. His amazing wife who was his sanctuary and confidant got to live an incredible life with this man. Chadwick was special and definitely 1 in a million. Rest in peace King.

So sad. He was so young and had so much more to offer the world. Amazing wife.

She is so strong. My hearts breaks for her💔 I love that she is keeping his memory alive ❤️

I remember having to explain to my 9 year old grandson Josiah that Mr. Chadwick Boseman ( Black Panther ) passed away, it was really difficult. I looked in his eyes and saw confusion and hurt I gave him a big hug then he said granny he is sleeping (Tears). We are a retired military family, 3 of my grandchildren came to live with us while my daughter there mom gets on her feet, 2 of my grandchildren have had some delays but have been able to over come with patients, consistency, structure, routine and lost of love. I've placed all the super heroes comics on my grandson Josiah wall but he lit up when it came to The Black Panther, Josiah said it makes him fell so strong because someone looked like him. Couple months ago Josiah asked could he grow up to be big with muscles and run fast, I said sure but when you think about it you already are because the Black Panther is inside of you, what a big smile he had on his face, I told him to continue to do what's right always then explained what integrity means. We teach the grandchildren no matter your start in life is continue to reach for the stars and the importance of an education because no one can take it from you but you, so continue to go to school on purpose. Last month my husband purchased tickets for us to see the new Black Panther movie and Josiah is so excited just walking around with the biggest smile on his face.is so excited his smile is out of this world

She did a great job with this interview. He was so talented. My heart goes out to her and the family.

I loved this interview. I feel for her, and I pray that her heart will heal. There's no time limit on grief, but I felt her pain. I lost my son last year to suicide, and I don't know if I will ever get over it. Ms. Whoopi, you did a phenomenal job.

I understand the pain she's going through. Earlier in 2020 just days before the pandemic I lost my dad to sarcoma cancer. He was 63. I never got to say goodbye since he passed in his sleep. The only comfort I took was that he wasn't in pain. It was very difficult to move on without him. Losing your dad is bad but losing the love of your life, must be one of the worst things to happen to someone, especially when it's way too soon.

I loved Chadwick Boseman he was an Inspiration to us all we miss you so much rest in peace Chadwick 🙏 we will miss you forever ❤️

I still can’t believe he’s gone! My heart goes out to her and his family ❤

My God, he was an amazing man. The world lost an incredible bright light when he died, and so many people don't even realize it. Rest In Power, Chadwick. You will be missed.

Rest In Power BLACK KING. I miss you. WOKANDA FOREVER! God bless his wife.

I lost my mom to colon cancer she was just 52. It's a terrible disease. But my mom and Chadwick both got to do good things in their life before they passed. That's what I take with me and I know his wife feels the same. His shoes are hard to walk in and no one can take his place because he did so good. It's a pain that never heals but you learn to live with it and think about the good times you did have and enjoy.

I lost my dad this past June, the day after Father's day, and it still hurts to this day

I MISS CHADWICK BOSEMAN SO MUCH 😭this has me crying. I can’t imagine what she’s feeling. RIP Chadwick you will always be remembered

Protect this woman at all costs! This is a lesson to all of us to have strong family and friends in your corner that will keep you protected like Chadwick’s family and friends did.

May his gentle soul continues to rest in perfect peace amen amen 🙏🏽

Powerful 🙏🏽 his legacy will live on forever ‼️ more than just a superhero he was a person first condolences to his family

No lie I am still crying two years later. What a beautiful man and his strong and beautiful wife.

A beautiful man,, a beautiful wife.. ❣️

He was truly extraordinary and I'm sure she had to be too, to stand by him through everything. So many people go through this. Losing your person to this disease at such a young age. I hope they live through their grief and find solace and hope.

The true measure of a man. He will forever be remembered ♥️🙏🏾

You can feel her heartbreak 💔

I saw the tribute they made for him in black panther 2 and the whole cinema was silent. It shows that even if you didn't know him personally he was still a very respected man and its strange because knowing what he went through its almost like a community of grief because you feel the impact. The influence he had sharing hope and kids seeing him and wanting to be like him regardless of background and that is forever the energy is there the hope is and even when he was ill he was visiting children's hospitals and in a way he made the images and was every bit of the black panther. Thanks to him wakanda is forever.

Rest in power Chadwick. You provided empowerment for many kids by your role in Black Panther. My 6 year old son loves that movie.

Saw him in "42" as Jackie Robinson, He was fantastic

It's always sad when people you are a fan of pass away, but Chadwick's passing broke my heart. I cried when the news came out. He was truly something special. I know you are soaring with the ancestors....RIP

when she said she was so lucky to have loved him...I lost it Rest well sweet king

I lost mom a year ago it’s so hard but the lord can get you through anything prayers and blessings to her family

R.I.P. Chadwick, gone but never forgotten: Wakanda Forever!

Man it's been two years and I'm still in tears about him. I can't imagine what she must be feeling. At least he got to leave a beautiful legacy...RIP CHADWICK #GOAT 🙏🏽 WAKANDA FOREVER

His grace, his dignity, his fight ... Her grace & dignity ... 🙏

He seemed to be cool down to earth dude and very good actor RIP brother.

She is beautiful inside and out. Chadwick did amazing with her. And it’s beautiful to see her continue his legacy. The world definitely misses Chadwick bright light❤

I know it was so painful losing is very hard and it takes time to heal

I still miss him. I loved him on camera.

Couldn't hold back my tears. Sending love to this magnificent lady, Simone and his entire family. May our Chadwick rest in eternal peace 🤍

Rip Chadwick 🪦

My heart is breaking all over again, Chadwick we will love you forever. He left a beautiful legacy and empowered Black culture through all of his roles. Simone you are in our thoughts and prayers! ❤️

So hard not to cry. Love him like he was my brother

Such a tremendous and heartbreaking loss. I feel that he was such a role model the epitome of men and women. A genuine and loving man with a great soul. I couldn't believe it when he passed away. I cried.💔Still devasted. I feel that he is a legend.

So sorry for your loss. His death was such a big loss for all who loved him. Such a wonderful talent, wonderful actor and human being.

Sending her loving kindness. Wakanda Forever.

Sometimes it takes stuff like this to see that you might be going through something but there's someone else going through so much more pain that you could ever imagine.

The ending of black panther two when it showed his clips from the first was heartbreaking he owned every role he did really like the movie he did with viola davis

Extremely sad his loss! Colon cancer screening should be at age 30. Or when any symptoms are present

Wow how gorgeous she is! Simone spoke so profoundly man I miss Chadwick I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch black Panther 2 it’s not the same. 🥺🙏🏾💔

Man he had cancer all that time and had the strength to keep working. You never know how you'll react until something like that hits you.

Chadwick was the epitome of a good, humble man. He embodied goodness and it showed in his spirit.

I commend Simone for doing a interview during the release of this amazing Black Panther movie. My ♥ heart goes out to her and Chadwick's family. I will forever cherish his amazing career as a outstanding actor. R.I.P. Mr. Chadwick Boseman. Wakanda Forever

I can't imagine every minute Chadwick's widow spends, and it's very painful. But what did the whole cast and the great close friends of Chadwick and his family. They will know that this is a gift of life and always remember what Chadwick inspired in everyone.

Chadwick Boseman was a Very Special God Gifted Man! His Light Did Shine as a Real Man, so Inspirational to Not Only Children but, Adults as well!

Crying. What a beautiful tribute and legacy for Chadwick.

That was awesome. I was in tears with just that little bit of the interview. I am going to be streaming tears when I see the full awesome. He was an awesome person, and she is a very strong woman.

I feel for her and couldn’t help crying listening to her. Losing a loved one is the hardest thing to deal with. Some days you are really struggling more than you are willing to admit. Nothing but love and prayers for this woman!❤️

I loved his acting so very much. I loved him in a film that doesn't get mentioned much, "Get On Up", a bio of James Brown. He should've gotten an academy award for this...
