Jay Leno on looking after his wife, who has dementia. [View all]

This would be a tough thing to go through.

“Probably the toughest part was every day she’d wake up and realize someone had called today to tell her her mother had passed away,” the former Tonight Show host recalled. “And her mother died every day for, like, three years.”

Above all, Leno is just as smitten as he was at the start of their romance.

“When she looks at me and smiles and says she loves me, I melt,” he shared.
