What do you do when the world loses a king? You honor his queen. The name Taylor Simone Ledward might not be as instantly recognizable as her late husband's, but her story is one of quiet strength, artistic passion, and profound love.
She is, of course, irrevocably linked to Chadwick Boseman, the "Black Panther" star whose untimely death in August 2020 shook the world. While Boseman bravely battled colon cancer for four years, he continued to grace our screens with iconic performances, all while maintaining a private personal life. At his side during this challenging journey was Taylor Simone Ledward, his longtime partner and, eventually, his wife.
