In addition to her positive news about Betty, Karen also highlighted Simon’s efforts in promoting men’s mental health. Simon, who has been actively involved in Movember events, speaks passionately about this cause. On her Instagram Story, she shared a picture of him attending an event at 10 Downing Street, expressing pride in his commitment to making a difference for men’s mental health.
