When Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier asked Chapman what he had inside the pink box beside him.
The reality TV star told Frazier that Beth wants him to scatter some of her ashes and leave some on the fireplace.
He added: “Of course, when I go to heaven, she wants me in the box with her… I will.”
He told Frazier that when he was going to do the scattering of the ashes, he looked in the box and thought: “I’m not going to like… throw you away.”
“I just throw you away and start over? No, I can’t do that,” a tearful Chapman said to Frazier.

Chapman also told Entertainment Tonight that Beth had tried to prepare him for when she would no longer be by his side.
“For two to three years, she knew this might happen so she would say: ‘Who is going to sit next to you?’ And I said: ‘No one,’” he tearfully shared. “‘Big Daddy, you better not let another girl take my place.’ I said: ‘I won’t.’”
He said that in the “last few moments” before she was was rushed to the hospital, she told Chapman to “please, let me go.”

“And I didn’t even make a decision. I almost said: ‘I can’t,’” he said. “Before I could say, ‘Alright,’ she couldn’t breathe and I called the ambulance.”
Beth was diagnosed with throat cancer in September 2017 after getting a nagging cough checked out. A tumour was removed, and she was declared cancer-free. But in November 2018, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
The couple first met when he posted her bond for a shoplifting arrest, she told Rosie O’Donnell on The Rosie Show.
