Her sleeveless attire, adorned with the distinctive Fendi logo, elegantly accentuated her curves and concluded just above her knees, providing a glimpse of her impeccably toned legs.

Complementing her look, Heather adorned herself with delicate rings and dangling earrings, allowing her straight tresses to cascade gracefully over her shoulders.

This appearance followed a significant event in Heather’s life, as her 64-year-old husband, Terry Dubrow, shared a heartfelt recounting of a recent health crisis during her guest appearance on Watch What Happens Live After Show, which aired on the same day.

Terry emotionally expressed that he owes his life to Heather’s insistence that he seek medical attention promptly.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Terry tearfully revealed, “I can tell you that I had symptoms of a stroke due to an anatomical defect in my heart, and I’m going to try to say this without crying, but the only reason I’m standing here today and not six feet under is because of my best friend and my beloved wife’s insistence that I go to the emergency room and get checked out.”

He added, “She saved my life, so that’s just the way it goes. What can I say? I love my wife.”

Moved by Terry’s words, Heather became emotional before quipping, “The moment I knew he was okay was when we were in the ER, and it was the premiere of Botched, and he made them put it on. ‘Oh, the narcissism is back. We’re good.’”

Terry’s health scare happened during dinner with his wife and their 19-year-old son Nicholas at The Ivy in Los Angeles on August 3. Heather’s vigilance detected Terry’s slurred speech, prompting her to call for medical assistance.

While paramedics initially reported normal vitals, Heather’s concern led to comprehensive tests at the hospital, eventually revealing Terry’s condition – a patent foramen ovale (PFO) that had gone untreated since birth. The resulting blood clot caused a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a “mini-stroke.”

Reflecting on the experience, Terry shared crucial lessons to E! News: “Listen to your partner. If they are concerned about something, don’t argue, don’t ignore, and get it checked out right away. What they see may be very different than what you perceive.”

His gratitude for Heather’s unwavering support was evident as he affirmed, “Be grateful for those who love you. I love my wife, thank God for Heather and her persistence and insistence. She truly saved my life.”

Heather and Terry’s profound connection has stood the test of time. Married in 1999 after two years of dating, the couple has navigated life’s challenges together.

They are parents to 19-year-old twins Maximillia and Nicholas, who are currently in college, and Katarina, 16, and Collete, 12.

The Dubrow family’s journey has also included moments of openness, with their daughter Maximillia identifying as bisexual and Katarina coming out as a lesbian.
