Tabatha Coffey, Former Bravo Star, Opens Up About Losing Her Partner of 25 Years
Tabatha Coffey is finally ready to share her heartbreaking story of love and loss.
For the first time ever, the Tabatha Takes Over star is opening up about losing her partner of 25 years Diane Keeler, who passed away in 2022 after a long battle with brain cancer.
Keeler was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in 2014 and underwent years of surgery, chemotherapy, and rehabilitation while under the care of the Bravo alum.
“I never referred to it as stage 4, because everyone knows what that means,” Coffey shared with People in an interview published on June 11. “Her role was to rest her body, and mine was to take care of everything else.”
By 2017, Keeler’s health appeared to be improving until a major stroke left the corporate manager requiring around-the-clock care due to significant loss of mobility and speech.
“On certain days, I would tell myself I don’t know if I have the strength to get through this,” Coffey expressed to the publication. “I felt so helpless because I couldn’t fix or control the situation, which was all I wanted to do.”
