Wanda Rogers, the beloved widow of country music legend Kenny Rogers, has recently embarked on a new chapter in her life – finding love once again. In a heartwarming revelation, Wanda shared how Kenny had encouraged her to seek happiness with someone else after he was gone.
Kenny, renowned for his iconic song “The Gambler,” was not only a talented artist but also a caring and supportive partner. He understood that life is meant to be lived to the fullest, and he wanted Wanda to continue that journey even after he had passed away. Despite her initial reluctance, Kenny’s words left a lasting impact on her.
“I’m not going to stay here forever,” Kenny had lovingly said to Wanda. “I want you to be happy. You’re still young. I want your life to be full even after I’m gone.” At first, Wanda wasn’t ready to discuss such matters, but Kenny’s heartfelt message lingered in her mind.
In March 2020, the world suffered a great loss as Kenny Rogers peacefully passed away at the age of 81. Amidst her grief, Wanda found solace in remembering his words and seeking love and happiness once again.
Wanda also revealed that Kenny had wanted their twin sons, Justin and Jordan, who had recently graduated from high school, to understand the importance of moving forward after losing a loved one. He wanted them to realize that life continues, and he believed that one day, Wanda would find happiness again.
“Showing the boys that life goes on is one of the most important things,” Wanda shared, her voice filled with gratitude and admiration. “It truly does. I am now dating someone truly amazing. Kenny did everything he could to make me happy, and he wanted me to continue living. His genuine words truly showcase the kind of man he was.”
Wanda’s journey towards finding love again began years ago when Kenny introduced her to a blind date at the Atlanta restaurant where she worked as a hostess. While their romantic relationship blossomed later on, their friendship remained strong throughout. In 1997, Wanda and Kenny tied the knot and embarked on a beautiful marriage.
Today, Wanda has found love once again with the help of a friend who had previously dated her sister. She recognizes many of the same remarkable qualities in her current partner that she admired in Kenny – his leadership, positive energy, and genuine care for her well-being.
In this heartwarming story, we witness the enduring love and support that Kenny Rogers had for his beloved wife, even beyond his passing. His inspiring encouragement to embrace life and discover happiness is a lesson that resonates with all of us.
