Howard Stern’s fear of Covid has begun to spark arguments between him and his wife, Beth Ostrosky.
Last week, the radio host candidly recalled a recent fight they had about his concern over a new Covid strain on SiriusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show”. He admitted he’s been “paranoid” and “neurotic” about the virus.
When a caller asked if Stern is concerned about the risk that comes with returning to the studio amid the late summer’s surge of cases, he confessed he’s “going crazy with this.”
“You know how paranoid I am about getting Covid. I haven’t gotten it, and I’m pretty safe, and I really don’t want to get it,” he said. “Everyone goes, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just a cold for me.’ It’ll probably be way worse. You know what I mean? I mean, I’m the lucky one who will completely fall apart.”

Stern, 69, then explained how age plays a role in his concern over the virus, as opposed to his wife, 51.
“You know, my wife’s considerably younger than me, as you might have heard. And you know, she’s not as concerned about getting Covid as I am, because, you know, I’m an older dude,” he said.
The media personality then reflected on how his outlook on the virus has changed over the last few years.
“Beth has a bunch of plans. She has like a wedding shower to go to and lunch to go to with a friend and a dinner and a blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, you know, we’re really making an effort. We go out to restaurants. We went to the Ed Sheeran concert. We’ve really been out there,” he said of how he’s slowly begun to feel more comfortable going out. “I haven’t gotten Covid. And I’m like, you know what? If I get it, I get it.”
