Meredith Vieira’s husband, Richard Cohen, died at age 76 following a battle with multiple sclerosis.
The family had been together at Thanksgiving, Kotb continued, telling viewers that they were “concerned” about losing him early. “Instead, they got a glorious month with their dad,” she said.'She was such a beautiful and devoted wife to Richard and he adored Meredith,” Guthrie added. “And hanging out with them, they were like the most fun and entertaining, irreverent, cool couple you could hang out with.
“It’s a progressive illness, so you don’t know from day to day,” Vieira said. “He needs a walker, and since he’s been using it, he’s much stronger. It was something he dreaded, but it’s been a blessing.”
