Last June, Ana wrote a letter of support for her husband ahead of his sentencing for selling two fake Andy Warhol paintings.
The art dealer had been on house arrest after pleading guilty in 2018.
In the letter, Ana detailed how the family was able to be together for their kids' important milestones while Brian was on house arrest.
She also claimed that Brian was a significant source of support for her after her mother suffered a brain aneurysm in December 2021.

“Not only did he save her life, but he also brought her and the entire family comfort and joy during the course of her illness,” Ana wrote.
She said that Brian continued "to take care of his ailing elderly mother and be there for his sons day in and day out."
"Brian has been working consistently on breaking the past bad habits of his family and we are all looking forward to the new chapter of his life," Ana claimed in the letter.
Mom-of-three Ana, a real estate executive, has been missing since New Year's Day.

On Tuesday, police confirmed to Boston news station WFXT that investigators found evidence related to the missing mother while searching a dumpster from Brian's mom's apartment complex.
Additionally, detectives searching the Peabody transfer station found trash bags with blood, a hatchet, a hack saw, a rug, and some used cleaning supplies, Boston CBS affiliate WBZ-TV reported.
Ana's disappearance was not reported to the police until three days later after she failed to show up to work.
Police initially said Ana's family reported her missing, but prosecutors said this week that her co-workers actually made the first call on January 4.
Art dealer Brian - who reported her missing later the same day - told the police that she left their home in Cohasset at around 4am on January 1.
He said his wife told him she had a work emergency and took a cab to Boston's Logan airport to fly to Washington, DC.
No record of the car or plane journey has been found, investigators said.
She was due to fly to the capital - where she worked during the week - two days later on January 3, but her plane ticket went unused.
Investigators trying to piece together her last movements have reportedly found no evidence she left the family home.
Police searched the rented house on Sunday and found blood and a bloody broken knife in the concrete-floored basement, a court heard.
Investigators have also been photographed sifting through garbage trailers at a processing plant with the help of sniffer dogs.
They also seized Walshe's gray Volvo XC90 and searched an area behind an apartment complex where Brian's mother lives in Swampscott.
Details of what Brian, 46, told investigators emerged as he was arraigned on a charge of misleading the police investigation.

Last night reports claimed Walshe had made a disturbing internet search and asked his landlord about security cameras before his arrest.
He is said to have googled "how to dispose of a 115-pound woman's body," law enforcement sources told CNN.
