Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has shared an emotional appeal for prayers as Ron Duguay, the retired NHL star she has been romantically linked to since 2022, continues his battle with advanced cancer.
Duguay, 69, is fighting Stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to his liver, and recent photographs shared by his family show him receiving care in a hospital.
Palin, 62, posted a photograph on Instagram showing her holding Duguay’s hand as he lay in a hospital bed.
“Prayers for Ron Duguay so appreciated,” she wrote, according to Us Weekly.

In another post, Palin shared a black-and-white photograph of herself looking toward Duguay at his bedside, accompanied by a message about faith during difficult times.
“I know God can, I’m asking him to. And even if the answer looks different, I know by now to still hold onto Him,” the message read.
