"We fit like hand and glove from day one. Happy Valentine's Day My Love."

Cookie's love for her husband is no news to the media. While they seem like a couple from a perfect romance novel, they have experienced their fair share of marital issues.

He even gave her an option of leaving, but she chose to stay and committed herself to fighting the disease alongside Magic.

In 2016, the author spoke publicly on how they both handled a health crisis in their home. She went on about how discovering her husband's HIV status—which turned out to be positive in 1991, affected their marriage.

The 62-year-old admitted that it was heartbreaking when her husband broke the news. He gave her the option of leaving, but she chose to stay.

Cookie committed herself to fighting the disease alongside Magic—even though he had contracted the disease from one of his numerous sexual partners.

They have been together for more than two decades, and they can confidently brag that they did make the right choice by sticking together. They have also shown that love conquers all.
