Suzanne Somers' husband missed dating after her death
Suzanne Somers' husband 'missed dating' after her death. The 'Step By Step' actress was married to Alan Hamel for 46 years before she passed away in October 2023 at the age of 76 and Alan has recently revealed his new relationship with Somers' former co-star Joanna Cassidy. He told PEOPLE: 'Suzanne and I went on dates a lot, at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. We enjoyed getting dressed up, going to some fancy restaurant, ordering a great bottle of wine, and great candlelight, and sit there and having a good time and look into each other's eyes.' He also revealed that Suzanne urged him to be happy after her death. He said: 'When it was clear that Suzanne was not going to recover in the final days of her life on this planet, before she crossed over, she said to me, 'I don't want you to mope around after I'm gone'. I actually never heard the expression 'mope around' before. I said, 'So you mean I shouldn't sit at home and feel sorry for myself?' She said, 'I want you to live your life. You have a great life. You have a great family. You have great friends. I want you to live your life.' 'The last 42 years of our relationship, we did not spend even one hour apart, and it wasn't planned. We didn't plan it. It just evolved that way. It's pretty strange, relative to most marriages, but it worked for us.' Alan, 89, recently opened up about his new relationship with Joanna, saying: 'I don't know where the relationship is going. I just know that at this very moment, it's wonderful, and the reality is that as the foundational material for a relationship. It should go on for a long time being wonderful.'

B.C. couple's unusual honeymoon inspires enduring connection with family on cruise
Anna and Russ have taken on the role of grandparents for Dani and her sister. SIDNEY, B.C. — Ever since their first date, Anna and Russ Hudson have been inseparable. 'Everywhere we go,' Russ smiles, 'we're holding hands!' 'We even hold hands when we're watching TV,' Anna adds. Despite being in their seventies, the couple is young at heart. 'But at some point, we'll get old enough,' Anna looks down at their clasped hands and laughs. 'And we'll be holding each other up!'' When they first met in their sixties, Anna and Russ were single. While they weren't looking for love or expecting to find love, life had other plans. 'Oh my gosh!' Russ smiles. 'Love still exists!' After four years of 'courting,' they got around to marrying, but decided to postpone the honeymoon. 'And every year we kept saying, 'We'll do it next year,'' Anna says. Until that one year, they started losing friends and family to death and dementia. 'Life can turn on a dime,' Anna says. 'We realized, 'What are we waiting for?'' So, Russ booked a cruise, and Anna ordered a pair of custom t-shirts. One of them said, 'Our honeymoon cruise finally.' The other said, 'Only 13 years later.' 'My dad goes, 'Oh my God! Those shirts are so cute!'' Dani Bae recalls with a smile. Dani and her family were on the same cruise, happened to sit next to Anna and Russ at dinner, and formed an instant connection. 'They radiated such a beautiful welcoming energy,' Dani smiles. The feeling was mutual. So, after meeting multiple times on the cruise, they all agreed to stay in touch after it. 'It feels like we've known them forever,' Anna says. Although they live in different cities, they talk frequently, visiting regularly, and in the year since they've met, become family. 'I didn't grow up with grandparents,' Dani says they live on the other side of the world. 'I couldn't vent or cry or get advice from them.' And seeing as Russ and Anna met too late to have granddaughters of their own, they've taken on the role of grandparents to Dani and her sister. 'It makes me feel at peace,' Dani says of being their granddaughter. 'It feels like I belong in the world.' 'When they call me 'Grandpa,'' Russ fights back tears. 'They have brought so much joy to Anna and I.' While Anna and Russ — who perpetually hold hands — know it's never too late to find that love you never want to let go of, they've also learned it's never too soon to find the right people to share it with. 'Love is never old. Love is always there,' Anna smiles. 'It can expand and be surprising and bring the most wonderful gifts.'

You have a great life. You have a great family. You have great friends. I want you to live your life."' Hamel will turn 89 on June 30, and explained, 'The last 42 years of our relationship, we did not spend even one hour apart, and it wasn't planned.' The 88-year-old Canadian entertainer - who just confirmed his new relationship - revealed that his longtime partner wanted him to move forward and enjoy his life without her; Somers in 2017 He said of their inseparable dynamic: 'We didn't plan it. It just evolved that way. It's pretty strange, relative to most marriages, but it worked for us.' In the wake of his wife's death, the former television host says he's missed dating. Alan recalled, 'Suzanne and I went on dates a lot, at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. 'We enjoyed getting dressed up, going to some fancy restaurant, ordering a great bottle of wine, and great candlelight, and sit there and having a good time and look into each other's eyes.' He's found a new companion in Somers' former Hollywood Wives co-star Joanna Cassidy. The two were spotted out in Malibu earlier this week. Prior to that, he was seen wining and dining two women in December 2024. The star told People about the date night: 'I thought, I don't want to be sitting out there with one woman because the message that is going to make it into the media possibly is not going to be a good message, so I started dating two women at the same time. 'It was like a year-and-a-half after Suzanne passed, and so that if you saw the three of us sitting in a restaurant having dinner, you'd probably think it was a business meeting. I was fine with that.' And he noted that the outing was not 'romantic': 'What I realized was I absolutely loved having dinner with two great women. There's nothing romantic going on there. They're just really long-term friendly relationships.' He emphasized, 'It was a date in the sense that it was a dinner date at a fancy French restaurant, and I really liked it. So, it was like the three of us experienced dating with different elements involved. When it's one-on-two, it becomes a whole other experience. 'There's nothing to be awkward about it. It's three people who have known each other for many years, having a good time together.' Speaking to Page Six about his new connection with Joanna, the former Hollywood fixture shared, 'I'm fortunate to have Joanna in my life. Most men would love to have a Joanna in their life.' Putting things into perspective, and remembering his spouse, he added, 'I do not know where this relationship is going, but what I do know is that being in the cocktail hour of my life, I am blessed with a — thanks to incredible Suzanne — a privileged life, and our business that we created 50 years ago.'
