In their first holiday since announcing Gregg Leakes’ cancer diagnosis, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes has shared she was determined to make her husband’s Father’s Day a memorable one.

“This Father’s Day will probably be one of the most memorable ones we’ve ever had together!” Leakes wrote on Instagram and Twitter Sunday, June 17. “We are usually doing something all fancy but today we chose to just enjoy each other, have some company over and take tons of pics right here in the kitchen😂 no really, I love you more today than ever Gregg. Happy Father’s Day hunni❤ @greggleakes.”

Leakes followed that post with several other shots of the couple including messages like, “You’re gonna be just fine hunni!” and “Gregg says heyyy y’all😂 he’s slowly becoming a social media person😜 he wants to take pics these dayz. I gotta teach him how to pose chile.”

And the Leakes weren’t alone in their celebrations, RHOA stars Cynthia Baliey and Eva Marcille stopped by their home to drop off some treats for Gregg.

“@evamarcille stopped by to pay Gregg a visit wit goodies in hand! Thanks, boo,” Leakes said in a post.

“You know I couldn’t keep Cynthia from poppin ‘her tail over here😂. She came by to see Gregg & brought him a few goodies! Thank ya girlie @cynthiabailey10,” she said in another.

Fans have continued to wish Gregg well as his wife recently asked for more input on what treatment he should seek after getting his cancer removed. He had previously spent 15 days in a row in the hospital back in May before NeNe revealed his health issue in June.

“Happy Father’s day Greg! #pushthru #godisfaithful🙏.”

“Greg looks so good despite everything!!!!! Happy Father’s Day!!!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.”

“My prayers are with you and I wish you the best😘😘😘 love you guys and I’m a big fan.”

“God got you @greggleakes. Stay strong and Happy Father’s Day.”

“Happy Father’s Day praying for all of you.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
