Jeanette Lee Children

Jeanette Lee has three daughters Cheyenne, Chloe and Savannah. During her marriage, Lee and her husband George Breedlove were raising a modern blended family that consisted of their sixth child, Savannah, the first natural born child for the couple. They are also the parents of Chloe, who was born to a surrogate mother, their adopted daughter, Cheyenne, a foster child, John Kang, and Breedlove’s two daughters from a previous marriage, Olivia and Morgan. The couple still maintains strong relationships with the surrogate mother and foster child’s real parents.

Jeanette Lee Scoliosis

Jeanette Lee was diagnosed with scoliosis, often called curvature of the spine, at the age of 13. To alleviate the pain, doctors implanted a steel rod in her spine. From the age of 13 until August of 2005, Lee underwent nine additional surgeries to further strengthen her back. Because of severe scoliosis, many thought Jeanette would not be able to carry her own child but she defied the odds with the birth of Savannah. She continues to be a national spokesperson for The Scoliosis Association, Inc. She told USA Today, “I want people to know what scoliosis is, so parents and schools can catch it early.”

Jeanette Lee Cancer

In February 2021, it was announced that Lee “has been diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer. The cancer has fully metastasized into her lymph nodes and the prognosis is dire. At this stage, her doctors say she has a few months to a year left to live. In typical Black Widow fashion, she has vowed to fight the progress of her disease as fiercely as possible with both chemotherapy, which has already begun, and a succession of upcoming surgeries.”
