Suzanne Somers of “Three’s Company” fame has been married to her husband Alan Hamel for 42 years, which is incredibly impressive in the world of Hollywood. In a new interview, Somers revealed the secret behind her marriage standing the test of time.
“We are deeply in love with each other and are constantly kissing and laughing, telling each other how much we love each other,” the 73-year-old actress told Fox News. “Alan is very tender with me and our Facebook Live shows we do three times a week are real between us. [I have] no idea what we are going to do each time other than drink tequila and cook.”
However, Somers admitted that her marriage to Hamel has not always been smooth sailing, as they struggled in the early years of their union.
“Alan and I did all of our fighting in the first 10 years when we broke up on a regular basis and then an hour later worked it out,” she said. “My advice, and I’m not sure what it’s worth, is to remember the early days of the relationship when everything was love and respect, sexy and very hopeful.
“We have a strange relationship,” Somers added. “We absolutely love being together. The pandemic hasn’t affected us. We’ve spent every minute and not one night apart in 40 years. I know it’s unusual, but it sure works for us. We are one.”
Back in July, Somers paid tribute to her beloved husband on his birthday.
“Over 50 years ago I wrapped my arms around you and knew I would never let you go,” she wrote alongside a photo of her and Hamel embracing. “Happy Birthday to my beautiful husband. I could not love you more.”
Somers revealed at the time the simple secret behind her lengthy marriage.
“He turns me on,” she explained. “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’s madly in love with Somers as well.
“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 added. “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.”
