Chuck Norris, 83, is beyond grateful that his mom is turning 102. The star even wrote an article in her honor. And the way this lady smiles despite all the heartbreaking struggles she had to face tells us that life is a journey worth living despite its hardships.
102 years and still going strong.
Chuck shared an article on his Facebook page and expressed his affection and admiration for his mom Wilma who was born in 1921 and is ’’102 years young’’. The Hollywood star noted ’’What’s even more remarkable is that she is so full of life that she might make it another 100 years!’’
Norris then exclaimed ’’Mom, I don’t know what’s more difficult to believe: that you are 102 years old or that you have a son who is 83 years old!’’ Either way, he declared how ’’grateful’’ he feels to have her as his mother. He also noted ’’We’ve been through thick and thin in this life, and we are still going strong.’’
Chuck’s son, Mike, also posted a heartwarming video of his grandma as she gets presented with her birthday cake. He wrote ’’It is an honor to be your first grandchild.’’
She saved her son.
Despite her positive outlook on life and radiant smile, Wilma had a challenging life, raising her three children alone after Chuck’s dad abandoned them. Norris shared ’’Mom has been an example of perseverance.’’
He also noted that he was ’’nearly losing my soul to Hollywood’’, but his mother didn’t lose faith in him, and she prayed for his success and salvation. The star added ’’She even prayed for me to find a woman to change my life, and it worked.’’ In fact, Chuck has been married for 25 years to model Gena O’Kelley and the two are still going strong.
She’s a brave fighter.
Wilma had a complicated health journey, but she persisted and won her serious battles with cancer many times.
The martial artist explained that she has ’’has gone through roughly 30 different surgeries for a host of issues — and yet she’s still here to tell about it.’’
Family plays a central role in Chuck Norris’s life, and he welcomed his love child with open arms after 26 years of not knowing her.

Boxer who failed gender eligibility test Imane Khelif wins gold medal in Olympic final
Last year, the International Olympic Committee made the significant decision to revoke its recognition of the International Boxing Association (IBA) as a global governing entity, citing various concerns related to ethics, financial practices, and governance issues. Additionally, the Olympic committee criticized the IBA’s gender testing procedures, labeling them as ‘illegitimate’ and unworthy of any further discussion. Khelif, who was raised as a girl and is identified as female on her passport, spoke about the impact of this controversy during an interview with SNTV on August 4. The 25-year-old athlete expressed in Arabic, “I urge everyone around the world to uphold the principles of the Olympics and the Olympic Charter, and to avoid bullying athletes, as it has profound consequences. It can devastate individuals, harm their mental well-being, and create divisions among people. Therefore, I implore them to stop the bullying. I maintain contact with my family twice a week and hope they are not too deeply affected. They are concerned for my well-being. With hope, I believe this crisis will lead to a gold medal, which would be the most fitting response.”
I believe the Olympic Committee has rendered a fair decision, and I am pleased with this outcome as it reflects the truth. I am indifferent to others’ opinions. My focus is on competing for a medal, and I am determined to strive for improvement, with God’s help. I will continue to enhance my skills, just like every other athlete. Khelif’s father also shared his thoughts with the Daily Mail, stating, “Imane has been passionate about sports since she was six, starting with football. The critics and rumors are intended to undermine her, as they do not wish for her to become a world champion. I encourage her to demonstrate her capabilities in the ring, and I hope she brings honor to Algeria and the Arab nations by winning the gold medal. She serves as our role model, inspiring us to emulate her and bring pride to Algeria and Tiaret.”
