We are all in this together."
The former NFL player emphasized that the coronavirus challenge is not just about him and Cassie's family as one, as everyone all over the world is one in fighting this virus.
Over the weekend, Underwood was spotted standing at the balcony of his girlfriend's home. He was smiling.
