Despite her busy schedule, Rebecca juggles her career and her family without a hitch. That’s not to say she doesn’t have her share of setbacks. For example, she once had a baby girl with another man.
Marriage to Terry Crews
Terry Crews and Rebecca King have been married for 32 years. They have five children, two of which are adopted. Their marriage has been rocky, but they have managed to survive.
The first part of their relationship began when they were students at Western Michigan University. Rebecca was studying music and Terry was a football player. Eventually, the two found love and got married.
After they were married, Terry started acting. He played in the National Football League (NFL) for sixteen years, and he went on to have a successful acting career. His work has made him a popular figure. But Terry and Rebecca have faced challenges in their marriage, including addictions. This has resulted in them writing a joint memoir, Stronger Together.
After their marriage, they had the chance to move to California, where they faced a series of hardships. Eventually, Rebecca got sick and had to undergo reconstructive surgery. She said she was ready to walk away from Terry, but he was always there to support her.
Career as an actress and producer
Actors work in a wide range of entertainment industries. You can find them on the set of television shows, in stage productions, or on the movies. Some also do voiceover work for electronic media. If you are interested in a career as an actress, there are several things you need to know.
Aspiring actors often start off as movie extras, then move into acting-related jobs such as crew members or voiceovers. After gaining experience, they may decide to work on Broadway or in the theater industry.
For some, acting is a lifetime occupation. Others stick to the stage. The most common path for an actor is to get started with a college radio station or a local playhouse. Once you have some acting experience, you can try to secure a role on a film or TV show.
Most acting careers are relatively short-lived. There are thousands of other performers in the industry, and most struggle to secure steady work. However, those who become union members have better chances of getting bigger roles.
Battle with breast cancer
The wife of actor Terry Crews is now cancer-free after a battle with breast cancer. Her husband says that she has shown strength. She encourages women to get regular screenings.
When Rebecca was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer last year, she underwent a double mastectomy. After the surgery, she was declared cancer-free.
Terry Crews and his wife are now the parents of five children, including Wynfrey, 17, Isiah, 14, Naomi, and Noah. They’ve also adopted a healthier lifestyle, playing board games, and cutting down on their phone use.
While Terry and Rebecca have been through some difficult times, including a divorce and addiction, they have found ways to keep their family together. And now, they’re looking forward to a life with fewer distractions.
Both crews agree that their journey has given them a greater purpose. Now, they’re working to educate others about cancer and to spread awareness.
