Robert Altman, a 73-year-old gaming CEO and husband to the original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, died on Feb. 3 in a Baltimore hospital at age 73 (per The Washington Post). On Feb. 10, Carter finally broke her silence on her husband’s death — writing a heartfelt tribute to the love that the couple shared throughout their 37 years of marriage.
“One week ago, my beloved husband Robert A. Altman passed away,” Carter shared on Instagram, calling him the love of her life and “always will be”: “Our 37 years of marriage were an extraordinary gift. We shared the passion I hope everyone is lucky enough to experience in their lifetime.” She said they were forever each other’s champions. Carter then went on to celebrate the life that she and her husband built together, which included their two children, actor Jessica Altman (born in 1990) and James Altman (born in 1988). “We have always been grateful for the two beautiful lives we created together: our children, Jessica and James. They are the lights of my life, and were the greatest joy of Robert’s. I see so much of Robert in them, and I know he lives on through them.”

In her tribute, one week after her husband’s death, Carter wrote: “To Robert: You are the most honorable person that I have ever had the privilege to know. And I got to be your wife and the mother of your children. Thank you for giving me all the love in my life. Nothing could prepare our family for this moment, but we will do our best to follow our dreams and honor the legacy you’ve left behind. I will love you always and forever.”
