Alan Hamel Rekindles Romance: Suzanne Somers' Final Wish for Joy
Suzanne Somers' Widower Alan Hamel Opens Up About His Late Wife's Final Words and His Journey to Love Again
In a shocking revelation, Canadian entertainer Alan Hamel has spilled the beans on his late wife Suzanne Somers' final words - and they're more heartwarming than you'd ever imagine. Just days after confirming his new relationship with Joanna Cassidy, Hamel dished out the juicy details of their 42-year-long love story that had fans of the beloved TV couple swooning.
Hamel, who turned 88 on June 30, revealed to People magazine that Somers, who passed away on October 15, 2023, at the age of 76 after a battle with cancer, told him in her final days not to "mope around" after she was gone. Instead, she wanted him to live his life to the fullest and enjoy every moment.
"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,'" Hamel shared. "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.'"
And it seems Hamel has taken his late wife's advice to heart - he's now dating not one, but two women at the same time! In an exclusive chat with The Scholarly Note.com, Hamel revealed that after about a year and a half of being single, he decided to start dating again. "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," he explained.
It's not just any ordinary dating scene - Hamel and his new companions, both of whom are long-time friends of Somers', have been spotted out and about in Malibu and even enjoyed a fancy dinner date at a French restaurant. "What I realized was I absolutely loved having dinner with two great women," he gushed. "There's nothing romantic going on there. They're just really long-term friendly relationships."
And it seems Hamel has found his match - or should we say, matches? The 88-year-old Canadian entertainer has been seen wining and dining Joanna Cassidy, a fellow Hollywood Wives co-star of Somers', and the chemistry between them is undeniable.
"I’m fortunate to have Joanna in my life," he gushed to our publication. "Most men would love to have a Joanna in their life." When asked about the future of his relationship with Cassidy, Hamel remained coy, saying only that he's taking things one day at a time and enjoying every moment.
As for Somers' legacy, Hamel emphasized that her memory lives on through their shared business venture, which they created 50 years ago. "I do not know where this relationship is going," he mused, "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."
There you have it, folks - Alan Hamel's juicy tale of love, loss, and living life to the fullest. Stay tuned for more updates on his new relationship and keep an eye out for those adorable dinner dates!
