"Today marks the 15th day straight that Gregg has been in the hospital," Leakes said in an Instagram video. "I find it very difficult to stand on stage and laugh and have a good time and give you guys your money's worth knowing that my husband's in the hospital not feeling well."

"Gregg will be out of the hospital this week. He will be stronger, he will be better and we will be out here doing this show again in no time," she added.

Leakes was to perform Wednesday in Albany, N.Y., and Thursday in New York, N.Y. She didn't share further details about Gregg's health, but later denied her husband is experiencing heart issues or food poisoning.

"He's NOT in the hospital for an heart issue, he doesn't and has NEVER had food poisoning!" the star wrote in response to tabloid reports.

"Thank you to those that have sent well wishes and good vibes! Thank you to our family and friends who are texting us with thoughts and prayers," she said.

Gregg was shown on having a minor surgery to see if he had any blockage in his heart during The Real Housewives Season 10. Leakes told Bravo's Daily Dish in January that her husband was doing well after the procedure.

"He's doing really, really good. He's doing well. He's not eating the way he's supposed to because he likes to play games, but he's doing good," she said.
