She revealed this in a conversation with Whoopi Goldberg for Good Morning America, which was her first official interview since her husband's passing in August 2020.
"It was COVID, when things were really starting to spiral. And that meant that everybody was in their house, and there was no pressure for anybody to go outside. It seemed like, 'Is this a crazy coincidence that we get to actually be inside, that we get to be here with family -- together? And everybody in the world is also experiencing this togetherness in the midst of this awful, scary, unpredictable time?' We kept that circle real -- our circle was basically a dot."
Simone revealed how she has been keeping her husband's legacy alive since his tragic passing and revealed that the past few years have been really challenging for her
"It has been the most challenging two years I've ever had in my life. Some days I’m doing worse than I’m really willing to acknowledge and other days I’m doing better than I feel comfortable admitting. The grief really, it moves in", she admitted.
Simone further detailed that she considers herself extremely lucky to have been Chadwick's partner and that they shared each other's love, even though it was for a short period of time.
"I can't believe that I was so lucky, I can't believe that I got to love this person. And I also got them to love me too." " Simone said teary-eyed
Since Chadwick passed away, Simone has accepted several posthumous awards on his behalf. They include a Golden Globe for his work as Leeve Green in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, an Emmy award for his voice in What if?, and a Critic's Choice award for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
