Dr Jackie Walters and her marriage to Curtis Berry
Dr Jacqueline Walters is an OB-GYN. She suffered a miscarriage in 2004 following her diagnosis of breast cancer, which she powered through with the support of her husband.
She found out she couldn't carry children again, which she claims was heart-shattering, when she was diagnosed with cancer again in 2008. She survived through it all but also credits her husband Curtis for always being by her side.
Curtis was accused of cheating on Jackie in 2017 as pictures of him with a 27-year-old woman were leaked. This was covered in season 5 of the show as well, which showed the couple trying to work through their issues with the help of a therapist.
While Dr Jackie had initially filed for divorce citing irreconcialiable differences in their marriage, the two have since found a middle ground.
