“I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD),” she said in a statement to E! News at the time. “Let me say, wow! Your response has been overwhelming.”
She added, “I want to also thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness of FTD.”
Wendy confirmed that she would continue needing “personal space,” but that her fans’ “positivity and encouragement are deeply appreciated.”
To that end, the TV host has stayed mostly out of the spotlight since ending her show in 2022, although she and Kevin paid a visit to a holistic wellness store in her home state of New Jersey on Aug. 19.
In a since-deleted photo from the outing, Wendy could be seen rocking long, orange hair, a navy shirt and white boots as she held a shopping bag and a bouquet of roses.
