Kevin Reynolds is recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor.
DES MOINES, Iowa —
Gov. Reynolds says her husband, first gentleman Kevin Reynolds, has been diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer after a three-year remission and is recovering from surgery to remove a brain tumor.
“Our family is like many others who experience the highs and lows of navigating a cancer diagnosis over time. We have been incredibly blessed with an excellent medical team since Kevin was first diagnosed in September 2023, and we are grateful that they remain at our side as we begin this next phase of treatment.
“Kevin and I are a strong team. Through 44 years of marriage, we have faced life’s trials together and overcome them. And now, with the strength and support of our family, we will face this fight together just as we have the others — with faith, hope, and love.
“We deeply appreciate the prayers of Iowans during this time. And our prayers for healing are with every family facing cancer.”
Kevin Reynolds was first diagnosed with lung cancer in 2023.
