On March 22, 2009, Jade Goody, a well-known TV personality, passed away at the young age of 27 due to cervical cancer. She left behind her two young sons, Bobby and Freddie, who were just five and four at the time. But before her untimely death, Goody married her partner Jack Tweed, who was 21 years old at the time, in a beautiful ceremony. This year marked their 15th wedding anniversary, and Jack made sure to honor their special day by sharing a heartfelt post on social media.
Jack, now 36 years old, remains dedicated to his late wife and often shares old photos of them together on Instagram. He also continues to fundraise for cancer charities in her memory, with the help of his girlfriend Ellie whom he has been with for two years. To commemorate their 15th wedding anniversary, Jack shared a photo from their special day, with Goody in a stunning white gown and Jack looking emotional in his tuxedo. Alongside the photo, Jack wrote, "Married 15 years ago today," followed by a heart and praying hands emoji.
But Jack's post wasn't just a sweet tribute to his late wife, it also served as a reminder to others. He urged people not to miss their cervical screening tests and provided a link to the NHS website for information on how to book an appointment. Goody herself was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, after she missed an appointment to remove abnormal cells. Sadly, the cancer had spread to her bowel, liver, and groin, and she passed away in 2009.
Goody's public battle with cancer brought much-needed attention to the disease, and she was credited with raising awareness about cervical cancer. Her legacy lives on through her sons, Bobby and Freddie, who are now adults. Jack spoke to The Agency in 2022, where he opened up about his grief and how it never truly goes away. He explained, "you don't really get over it, you just learn to live with it." But Jack also finds solace in his charity work, as it makes him feel like Goody is still a part of his life.
Her eldest son, Bobby, has also become a celebrity in his own right. Last year, he wowed audiences with his performances on Strictly Come Dancing. One dance, in particular, left everyone in tears, including Bobby's younger brother Freddie and their father Jeff Brazier. The emotional contemporary dance was a tribute to Goody, set to Maxwell's "This Woman's Work." After their performance, the cameras captured Jeff, Freddie, and Bobby's step-mom Kate Dwyer in tears in the studio audience.
In addition to honoring Goody's memory, Jack also uses his platform to raise awareness and support for cancer patients. He recently shared information about Macmillan Cancer Support, an organization that offers support and information for those diagnosed with cancer. They have a helpline, webchat service, and website with resources for those in need. As we remember Goody and her impact, let us also continue to support and uplift those affected by cancer.
