In very sad news for the Bravo community, Gregg Leakes has died after a very long battle with colon cancer. A family spokes person made the following announcement, “Today the Leakes family is in deep pain with a broken heart. After a long battle with cancer, Gregg Leakes has passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by all of his children, very close loved ones and wife Nene Leakes. We ask that you pray for peace and strength over their family & allow them to mourn in private during this very very difficult time.”
There will not be a funeral, as Gregg chose to be cremated. The family will have a private “celebration of life ceremony.”
He was 66 years old. Condolences to his family and friends. He will be missed.
Yes, he will. May he rest in peace.
Such sad news. Gregg always seemed to be such a nice man who loved his family.
So sad but was expecting this based on the latest news . He had some great tv moments too. Prayers for nene and the family ..
So sad to hear this.
I always had a soft spot for Mr. Leakes.
May he Rest In Peace.
So true. He was a bright spot in the ongoing battles on RHOA.
RIP
That makes me want to cry. He seemed like such a nice guy.
This is very sad news. I had hoped he could beat it. Things sounded pretty dire lately though. RIP Gregg!
RIP Gregg! I feel like this is the time for Bravo & Andy to reconcile with NeNe! We don’t need to see it publicly but that woman loved Andy and said a lot of things out of pain. Love her or hate her she made RHOA the hit it was in it’s prime and even if she’s not back on #RHOA this new season I’d like her and Andy to make peace.
Andy sent condolences. Gregg dying doesn’t change a thing between Nene and Bravo. Nene dug her own hole.
Agreed
Sadly, yes. I feel bad about Gregg. And, I’m also waiting for the other shoe to drop, for Nene to somehow use that to try to advance her career.
That’s a trash remark.
that’s a true remark, imo.
Agreed. Nene always treated Gregg like shit. It’s just a fact.
I am going to loss it if Nene shows up.on Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil, or a special based on her suffering and what she sacrificed.
I think I would have to say something about her having him suffer in the Florida heat, the work that he did for her. The weakness shown and ignored, and on and on.
This is something I hope she doesn’t get away with.
I hope she just goes away,never to be seen again. She offers nothing.
No way. I felt so bad for Gregg and the way Nene treated him when he had cancer on the show. She couldn’t even be bothered to stay with him for a surgery when he was afraid. Gregg seemed like a decent and good man. I don’t want Nene on rhoa using his death as a storyline.
So sad to hear this. Was praying he’d beat it. Praying for the Leakes family🙏🏾
So sad to hear, may he rest in peace and condolences to the family.
As over the top some of the wives/families can be at times its a reminder of the human factor. Is this the 3rd husband that has passed? Russell Armstrong, Bobby Zarin and now Gregg?

My thoughts are with his family- very sad.
Very sad news. He was such a calming influence on RHOA – the voice of reason. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
Less than a month away from my 67th birthday, I can only say that that he died too young. May his memory be for a blessing.
Gregg was one of the few husbands that I liked. I do hope the passing was peaceful. Condolences to the Leakes family
He passed at home, so that’s a blessing.
God bless Gregg Leakes. Sending condolences to all of his children and extended family. He was truly a family man and hoping his elder children will help guide his younger children through life in the way he he lived his life!
Gregg loved Nene. We all saw it. Of that, he should be proud.
Oh this is so so sad. I liked him, in a room full of . unlikable people he always seemed gracious, patient, and kind.
I love this statement.
Perfect statement. I felt the same way. So sorry for his passing
I agree wholeheartedly 🙏🙏 #RIP Gregg.
So very sorry to hear of his passing, and he will certainly be missed on RHOA. Prayers to all who loved him.
Sadness indeed! He was such a wonderful fixture. He will sorely be missed. Love and prayers to all!
Sad news. May he rest in peace.
RIP Greg! He was a wise and patient man. I know there will be a huge void in his family!
It’s so sad, it’s always hard losing a family member. It’s great to see on social media current and past cast members and people from other housewife cities sending their condolences to nene and her family.
RIP ☦ 📖 🙏
And another Angel gets his Wings! 👼
Gregg was the one HW husband i actually really liked. So sad to learn of his passing. He battled cancer for quite a while now and I know from experience what a toll that takes not only on Gregg, but also on his family. Praying for God’s grace and comfort for the Leakes Family and all their friends. Gregg will be missed.
This breaks my heart. We have lost two wonderful househusbands to this terrible disease.
Rest in Peace, Gregg.
Very sad. I too always liked Gregg. It just sounds tacky to me for Nene to tell that to a complaining customer. I personally see those last moments as very private. I don’t know. Plus, it’s not like Nene isn’t a bitch to “the people beneath her” any other day. I just hope that she was nice to HIM in his final days.
Fly free Gregg.
By scheduleing a colonoscopy to honor Gregg’s life, you could be saving your own.
Godspeed Gregg. You were always a class act. Nene was blessed to have you for the time she did. Praying for comfort for her heartbreak.
