AWAY FROM THE RECORD Chuck Norris Reveals Mom Secrets He Never Told Anyone: ‘I Nearly Lost My Soul To Hollywood’ They say that behind every great man lies a great woman, but Chuck Norris is especially fortunate to have two ladies at his side through thick and thin: his wife and his mother. The 82-year-old actor and martial arts master, who is married to former model Gena O’Kelley, often thanks her on social media.
The pair celebrated 22 years of marriage two years ago (now 24). He sent a lovely message on Instagram to express his love and admiration for his wife. “When Gena and I married 22 years ago, I became the luckiest guy in the world,” he wrote. “Happy Anniversary, my lovely wife!” There are no words to express how much I adore and appreciate you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Every day we are together, I thank God.”
Chuck Norris, the father of five, is fortunate to have two ladies who will always be there for him: his mother, Wilma Norris Knight, who is presently 101 years old. He sent a lovely note to his mother: “Happy Birthday Mom! 101 years old! wow! There are no words to express how much I adore and value you. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for us throughout the many years that God has blessed us together.”
Chuck frequently talks about his mother’s difficult past, but he says she never lost faith and made sure her boys were taught correctly. She grew up in abject poverty. Instead of enjoying the benefits of being a kid, she had to work to support her family during the Great Depression when she was discharged from the hospital. She was picking cotton and assisting in every manner she could with her limited skills.
“When they finished selecting one field, they’d often go to another town to choose another.” “Life in the Dust Bowl was anything but simple, particularly during the Great Depression,” Chuck told WorldNetDaily. She met Chuck’s father when she was 16, but he abandoned her and the three sons she was caring for. “Mom has always been an example of endurance and faith,” Chuck told Christian Post.
“She has also lost two spouses, a stepson, two grandkids, and my younger brother Wieland in the Vietnam War.” She’s had cancer many times and had around 30 different operations for a variety of illnesses – and she’s still alive to tell the tale.” Chuck always accompanied himself through tough situations with a prayer, but he also credits his 101-year-old mother. “Through thick and thin, my mother has prayed for me my whole life.”
Complications almost killed me when I was born. She was back home praying for my prosperity and salvation when I was on the verge of losing my soul to Hollywood a few decades ago. She prayed for me to meet a lady who would transform my life, and it did.” “I equally celebrate my wife, Gena, throughout this Mother’s Day week,” Chuck said. Gena assists me in running all of my businesses and is the CEO of our new artesian bottled water firm, CFORCE.
But most importantly, she is the mother of our twins, my life’s love, and my greatest friend. “I am filled with appreciation to God for the effect of these two amazing people in my life.” Dakota and Danielle Norris are Gena and Chuck Norris’s two children. Their whole lives were flipped upside down around a decade ago… Chuck Norris abandoned his film career to care for his ailing wife.
Gena’s health has deteriorated since then. According to accounts, she had an injection in 2013. Something felt strange very immediately, according to Gena. “Within hours of the initial shot, my whole body felt like it was on fire – as if acid had been pushed through it.” At first, the fire was contained, but it quickly spread… I was basically lying in bed on an IV for five months and had round-the-clock nursing care.
Chuck slept on the sofa near me and never got up. “I hoped that I would survive to see my children grow up,” she said. Gena has been suffering from renal difficulties and nerve discomfort since that time. They suspect she was poisoned by a substance that was put into her many times during the MRI. Chuck has always been there for Gena when she needed it. He gave up everything to devote his complete attention to his wife. They have spent over $2 million on Gena’s therapy alone.
“I’ve given up my film career to focus on Gena; my whole life right now is dedicated to keeping her alive,” Chuck said. “I feel this is a critical problem.” “It’s irritating and upsetting,” remarked Gena. “It’s a horrible, ugly secret that has gone unnoticed, and Chuck and I are determined to alter that.” Chuck Norris seems like a terrific husband and parent, especially with the support of his wife and centenarian mother.
