On July 1, Coco got emotional during an interview with Page Six while telling the outlet that Steve was at Abrazo ArrowHead Hospital in Glendale, Arizona. At the time, he couldn't speak and Coco and her family were very worried about his condition. She wanted to be in his room, but she couldn't do so because he was in isolation.
"I want to be in the room with him right now and hold his hands, and just let him know that his family loves him, to push through, and this is too early for him to go," Coco said.
"He can’t even say a word. For him to say ‘no’ or ‘yes’ is so hard that I have to use texting now, and today he doesn’t even want to text anymore. He’s just getting so frustrated that he’s in this position that he doesn’t want to get on the phone. It’s not looking good. I wish I had better results today.”
