In the crazy world of Hollywood, it’s rare to see a marriage that actually can stand the test of time.
That’s what makes “Three’s Company” star Suzanne Somers’ 43 year marriage to her husband Alan Hamel so unusual!
The couple married in 1977, and this week, Somers is opening up to reveal the secret behind their long-lasting union.
“He turns me on,” Somers told Fox News.
“Since the day we met, I’m overwhelmed with the feeling that I can’t get enough of him. I love his smarts, I love his sexiness, I love the ‘bad boy’ in him. I know he loves me deeply. He is loyal. I trust him. I love who he is as a husband and father. He is a success in every arena. He is my soulmate. We laugh together all throughout the day … and he’s a great dancer!”
As for Hamel, he finds it difficult to find things that he doesn’t love about Somers.
“Suzanne is perfection!” he gushed. “I still remember that moment we met. [She] was very different from all the ladies I knew in my 20s. I had trouble speaking. I was stunned. We started living together.”
“[We] married and fought like wild dogs for years,” Hamel confessed.
“But we both knew that this was the real deal and worth figuring out, which we did. Since that time, our relationship has really deepened and I don’t remember the last time we argued. We are together 24 hours a day and not one night apart in over 40 years. I crave another 40.”
Somers and Hamel enjoy working together on her lifestyle brand, and they have been staying busy during quarantine hosting weekly cocktail parties on Facebook live.
“I am madly in love,” she declared to Fox News.
“I still am. It’s bizarre to me that after 40 years of marriage and 50 years together that I still feel that way. But he turns me on, and I think I turn him on, and it’s always been like that. You know the way it is when you first start dating someone and this might be the one? That feeling has never gone away.”
“So is this luck? I don’t know,” Somers added.
“A good relationship is not about luck. It’s about really putting in the effort to make sure that you give each other a lot of attention and respect. … But if you throw in the other component of you turn one another on, that kind of makes it really great.”
