Simone gave fans a glimpse of the unique love she shares with the “Black Panther” star saying, “I can’t believe I’m so lucky. I don’t believe that I have to love this person, and I also make them love me too. Of course, he’s an actor, and that’s – there’s a lot of fun stuff that we get to do. But he’s an artist.”
The grieving wife praised the late actor for being more than just a Hollywood star. Instead, like many of her characters, Simone reveals that Chadwick is “the leader and the king,” and she believes it’s the “biggest blessing” to be by his side.
He explained that the close bond they shared shone through the tragedy of his painful death. “Despite the pain of losing him, now I can still have this beautiful spirit relationship with him. And that, as hard as it is to accept, is also beautiful because he is an ancestor now. He was, and he never left me,” explained Simone.
The doting wife, who continues to carry on her husband’s legacy, recalls their first meeting and the heart-tugging stunts he performed. She shared that she met Chadwick shortly after she filmed “Get On Up.” It was at a James Brown tribute concert, and he was working at the Hollywood Bowl when it happened.
She remembers Chadwick being “very respectful” trying to flirt with her in the sweetest way. In Simone’s words, “We were on the side of the stage at one point, and I don’t think he knew if I really caught his cue. And he randomly just bent down and untied one of my shoelaces … as a little joke.”
He continued, “And I said, ‘Oh, OK, so this is flirting, this is him flirting with me.’ And then he came back down and said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’ He came back down, and he untied my shoelaces.” Simone admits she fell in love with the “21 Bridges” star quickly and the rest is history.
Talking about her husband’s extraordinary personality, she said, “I just realized that I can really trust him. He doesn’t walk into anything with his eyes closed. And I know I can follow him off the edge of the cliff because he has a plan, you know?”
Simone described the Howard university alumni as “the smartest, most loving, most genuine, truest, genuine, true in everything – like no one I’ve ever met.”
