Suzanne Somers' widow Alan Hamel dating her Hollywood Wives co-star Joanna Cassidy
Suzanne Somers' widow Alan Hamel is dating the late actress' Hollywood Wives co-star Joanna Cassidy. The Three's Company star had been married to producer Alan, 88, for 36 years when she passed away on October 15 2023, at the age of 76, following a battle with breast cancer. However, almost two years on from her death, Alan has a new woman in his life in Joanna, 79, who starred alongside his late wife in the miniseries based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Jackie Collins. Confirming his new romance with the New York Post's Page Six column, he admitted: 'I don't know where this relationship is going." The new couple were photographed arm-in-arm in Malibu on Monday (23.06.25). Alan added: 'I have known Joanna Cassidy for over 45 years. '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.' Alan previously recalled that despite his and Suzanne's "mad fights", they would never put a stop to their love. He told Page Six: "For the first few years of our love affair, we fought like mad dogs. But we always returned to our passionate love for one another. After one of our fights, Suzanne said to me, 'No matter how bad it gets, let's never break up.' And we never did." The TV host recalled that he and Suzanne would always hold hands when they were asleep and he would spend the early morning just admiring her before she woke up. He said: "We always went to sleep every night holding hands, and in the morning I would always awaken a few minutes before Suzanne and I would just lie there, staring at her beautiful face." Meanwhile, Alan previously revealed that he had been getting signs from Suzanne and eventually accepted that she was "safe" in the afterlife. He told Fox News Digital: "One day I'm in the kitchen with my family, and all of a sudden, Suzanne's favorite song comes on the audio system; the audio system wasn't even turned on. It's a Latin song, and it's written and performed by someone no one's ever heard of. It's a song we used to dance to in the kitchen. It just came on all by itself. And then, when it was over, that was it. The audio system stayed off. "Later that day, the fireplace started by itself. "It stayed on for an hour and then it turned off. "Then one day, a hummingbird flew into our house. It goes to our little breakfast nook where there's a photograph of Suzanne and me where we're looking at each other. The hummingbird hovers in between our two faces. Then it flies up and sits on top of the photo. "A few weeks later, I opened all the doors and windows and I saw the same hummingbird – they all have very distinctive colorings… I walked over and extended my hands. The hummingbird jumps into my hands, and she tucks in her little feet. All I felt was her belly. She felt safe."

Alan Hamel confirms relationship with Suzanne Somers' co-star Joanna Cassidy
Alan Hamel, the 88-year-old widower of late actress Suzanne Somers, has confirmed he is dating actress Joanna Cassidy — Somers' former co-star in the 1985 miniseries Hollywood Wives. The couple was recently spotted arm in arm in Malibu, California, wearing matching Malibu Beach Inn baseball caps while dining at Broad Street Oyster Company. Speaking exclusively to Page Six, Hamel said of Cassidy, 79, 'I don't know where this relationship is going, but I'm fortunate to have Joanna in my life.' The two have known each other for over 45 years, first meeting in the 1970s when Cassidy appeared on The Alan Hamel Show. Their connection was rekindled after Hamel's son, Stephen, unknowingly introduced them again following a chance meeting with Cassidy at a screening. Hamel, who lost Somers to cancer in October 2023, says his late wife gave him her blessing to move on. 'Don't mope around,' he recalls her saying. 'Live your life. We'll see one another after you cross over.' Praising Cassidy, Hamel described her as a dedicated actress, a great mother, and someone with no 'Hollywood BS.' Cassidy, also known for her roles in Blade Runner and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was previously married but has remained single since her 1974 divorce. Though uncertain about the future, Hamel says he is enjoying this new chapter, calling it the 'cocktail hour' of his life.
