Home and Away’s Johnny Ruffo pays tribute to girlfriend Tahnee as he continues cancer battle

Johnny Ruffo has talked about his girlfriend Tahnee Sims’s devotion as the former Home and Away star battles brain cancer.

The plucky 34-year-old actor and performer has revealed he would be “lost” without Tahnee.

“She’s just everything,” Johnny said in an interview with… Now to love on Tuesday.

Johnny, who was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017, revealed his prognosis was terminal earlier this year.

In his chat with the publication, the popular star paid tribute to his girlfriend, with whom he has been together since 2015.

“She comes home from work and she’s probably so tired and just wants a break, and then she’s got me,” he said in the interview.

“She wants to try to make me laugh… I don’t know how she does it. I really don’t.’

Elsewhere in the chat, Johnny talked about how Tahnee helped him get through the challenges of chemotherapy — used to fight his disease — which can be difficult for patients to tolerate.

The brave X-Factor star said Tahnee was always there by his side to help motivate him when the going got tough.

The gifted performer has made no secret of how much support Tahnee has given him, even crediting her with “saving” his life in an interview with WHO magazine.

Johnny and Tahnee first met in a dance studio in 2015, and they’ve been together ever since.

Last month, Johnny released a memoir entitled No Finish Line, in which he discusses his life and current battle with cancer.

Johnny told earlier Who magazine? that he loves his partner Tahnee “more than anything” and it breaks his heart to see the pain she goes through as his condition worsens.
