Suzanna Somers’ widower has found love amid his grief.
Alan Hamel confirmed he has found love with Joanna Cassidy, Suzanne’s Hollywood Wives costar, 20 months after the Three’s Company actress died following her yearslong battle with cancer.
“I’m fortunate to have Joanna in my life,” Alan, 88, told Page Six in an interview published June 25. “Most men would love to have a Joanna in their life. 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 magnificent family—thanks to incredible Suzanne —a privileged life, and our business that we created 50 years ago.”
But while his romance with Joanna is new, they actually go way back.
“I have known Joanna Cassidy for over 45 years,” he continued. “Joanna was a guest star on [daytime talk show] The Alan Hamel Show in Canada in the 70s. She was a great guest and it was a dynamic show, and we liked each other, not romantically, but mainly with respect. Both of us were married at the time.”
