Suzanne Somers’ Widower Is Dating Her Former Co-Star

Suzanne Somers’ widower Alan Hamel is moving on, step by step.

The former Canadian TV presenter, who was married to the “Three’s Company” star for nearly 50 years, confirmed to Page Six Wednesday that he’s dating actor Joanna Cassidy, who co-starred with Somers in the 1985 miniseries “Hollywood Wives.”

Somers died in 2023 at the age of 76 after battling breast cancer on and off for five decades.

Although Somers worked with Cassidy in the past, so had Hamel. He noted to Page Six that Cassidy appeared on his former daytime talk show in the 1970s.

“I have known Joanna Cassidy for over 45 years,” he told the outlet. “Joanna was a guest star on ‘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.”

Although Hamel admitted he doesn’t “know where this relationship is going” yet with Cassidy, he did reveal how the pair recently reconnected.

“My son [Stephen] met Joanna at a screening and after a long conversation suggested to Joanna that she and me would get along and should meet,” Hamel said. “Stephen did not know we knew each other.”

Hamel also spoke highly of Cassidy, a former model who had memorable roles in 1982’s “Blade Runner,” 1988’s “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” and 1991’s “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead.”

“Joanna is extremely accomplished,” he said. “She is easily the hardest-working and most active actress in Hollywood for well over 50 years. She’s a great mother to her adult children, turns up for many fundraisers for first responders and is staff for her four cats. She is no Hollywood BS, and we laugh a lot.”

Hamel, 88, previously told Page Six that the “Step by Step” alum told him towards the end of her life that she wanted him to move on after she died.

“Since Suzanne was my only date for over 50 years, I’m a virgin dater,” Hamel told the outlet in December. “Suzanne told me when we knew the end was near not to ‘mope around’ and live my life.”
