Chuck Norris Confessed Love for Wife on 24th Anniversary after Nursing Her Back to Life
They celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary when Gena Norris, Chuck’s long-term wife, was 59 and he was 82.
The legendary actor shared a photo of the day he and Gena tied the knot to commemorate the occasion. Chuck said that his wife was his best friend and the love of his life in the caption, and he also said that he loved her.
However, the “Walker Texas Ranger” star, who celebrated his 83rd birthday on March 10, 2023, almost didn’t get to celebrate the anniversary with his wife due to a health ailment she faced a few years ago. Due to his love for her, Chuck did everything he could to get her better.
How Did Chuck Nurse His Wife Back to Life 5 Years Ago?
During a June 2017 “Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson,” Gena opened up about being so ill she almost died after having three MRIs in one week five years before. She revealed how a small voice told her her body was dying, and after walking out of the bathroom, Chuck looked at her, recalling:
“I saw a death in her eyes.”At that moment, the actor knew he had to do something. The nightmare began for the couple when Gena went for three MRIs to evaluate her rheumatoid arthritis, but instead, mysterious illnesses were triggered by the machines, almost killing her.
The star’s wife shared how she spent five or six nights in the emergency room as the symptoms worsened. Gena discovered she’d been poisoned by a substance injected into her before the MRI.
Chuck took his wife for intensive treatment at a Nevada hospital, where she slowly came back to life, and then to China for alternative medicine. Recalling her experience, Gena said:
“I laid in a bed in that clinic for five months on IVs every day, and my wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful husband – who I’m so thankful for – laid on a couch next to me for five months. “The actor read 17 books to his ailing wife during that time, dropping everything and refusing to leave her side. Gena humbly confessed how grateful she was to her husband for all he did for her then.

“The actor [Chuck Norris] noted how he became the luckiest man in the world…”
During a previous CBS News interview, Chuck shared, “My whole life is focused on keeping her as well as I could.” He explained how far he went stating, “I’ve had to give up my film career.”
The star and his wife took San Francisco’s McKesson and other drug companies into a multimillion-dollar lawsuit over the poisoning. Gena suffered brain damage, muscle wasting, and more, with her husband admitting
