She posted screenshots of her husband John Legend’s tribute to her following the Billboard awards where he said he was in ‘awe’ of his wife’s strength.

She wrote on Instagram: “We are quiet but we are okay. Love you all so much.”

Some of her famous friends commented on the post with words of encouragement and support.
