Chadwick Boseman secretly married wife, Taylor Simone before he died

The actor, who was loved globally for his portrayal of the black superhero, Black Panther, was confirmed to have died on 29 August after a four year battle with Colon Cancer.

Taylor was by his side, alongside his family, as the actor succumbed to the disease.

According to The Mirror, Boseman asked Taylor to marry him in October 2019 and the two said their vows in a private ceremony before his cancer progressed.

The two kept their relationship private until she started to appear with him on red carpets on movie premieres.

In March 2019, Chadwick spoke out for the first time about his relationship with Taylor at the 50th NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles, California.

As he accepted the award for Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for ‘Black Panther’, the usually private Chadwick kissed his girlfriend and gave her a romantic shout out on stage.

During his speech, he said: “Simone, you’re with me every day. I have to acknowledge you right now. Love you.”

When cameras panned to her she was seen mouthing back the words, “I love you.”
