Big Brother 28 winner Rick Devens and his wife, Becca Devens, have shared difficult news with fans. Becca has breast cancer, and the diagnosis comes just weeks after Rick celebrated his victory on the CBS reality competition.
The couple announced the news in an Instagram video on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Becca explained that she learned about her condition shortly after the family returned home following the Big Brother finale.
Becca, 40, revealed that doctors discovered the cancer early through routine mammograms. She now plans to undergo a double mastectomy and remains hopeful about her treatment and recovery.
The announcement comes less than a month after Rick won Big Brother 28 on October 1. He took home the $750,000 grand prize, along with $50,000 for America’s Favorite Player and another $10,000 from the season’s Pharaoh Curse.
