“I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed,” said O’Neal. The couple have been together off and on since 1982. He has been at her side throughout her battle against cancer. She was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 2006. She had surgery to remove the tumor, but a year later, she discovered the cancer had returned and despite experimental treatment in Germany found the disease had spread through her body.
In an interview to be broadcast later this week on 20/20, O’Neal told Barbara Walters about Fawcett’s deteriorating condition.
“She’s fighting for her life”,” he said.
Fawcett met O’Neal after the end of her marriage to Lee Majors in 1982. They have one son, Redmond, 24, who is currently in jail on drug charges.
