Meanwhile, Zarin has been struggling with other personal battles as her husband's cancer remerged earlier this year.

Jill revealed to People Magazine that she was 'scared to death' when Bobby, 69, discovered that the thyroid cancer he'd beaten back in 2009 and returned and spread to his lungs.

Her husband Bobby had his thyroid removed when he was first diagnosed, undergoing radioactive iodine treatment, according the publication.

The reality star revealed she was 'hysterically crying' when she found out it had come back.

As of July, the couple are waiting to hear back from test results following surgery after Jill sent samples of his cancerous tissue to Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.
