Marlo Thomas, the 86-year-old actress, announced on Instagram that she will be taking a break from social media following the passing of her husband, Phil Donahue, at the age of 88. In her post, Thomas expressed her gratitude for the outpouring of love and support from her followers during this difficult time.
Thomas shared that she will be stepping away from her social media page to focus on taking care of herself and those who were close to Donahue. She thanked her fans for allowing her and Phil to share their life adventures with them over the years.
She described Donahue as a man who dedicated his career to loving his audiences and wished her followers good health and happy days. The post included a throwback photo of the couple enjoying a vacation together, riding a Vespa.
The couple tied the knot in May 1980 after three years of being together. Thomas recently celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post, expressing her disbelief at how quickly the years had passed and her gratitude for finding each other.
When they got married, Thomas became the stepmother to Donahue's five children from his previous marriage. Donahue, known for hosting 'The Phil Donahue Show,' passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones after a long illness.
