In the crazy world of Hollywood, it’s rare to find a couple that is actually able to stand the test of time and create a long-lasting union. That’s what makes the 44 year marriage of former “Three’s Company” star Suzanne Somers and her husband Alan Hamel so special!

In a new interview, Somers opened up to reveal the secret behind her decades-long marriage to the love of her life.

“We give each other a lot of attention. That seems simple, but you’d be amazed at how many couples don’t remember to give one another a lot of attention,” Somers, 74, told US Weekly. “It’s not, like, a chore for us. I love to hug him and rub his hair. He tells me I’m beautiful all the time and we hold hands while we sleep. It’s the most beautiful part of my life.”

She went on to say that she and Hamel will lock hands nearly “all night” long, adding, “I’ll wake up and we’re holding hands all the time!”

Somers explained that she and Hamel have still managed to spice up their relationship while in quarantine during the pandemic.

“We date every night. I think dates are really important, especially [in] long-term marriages,” she said. “So, here’s a date — it’s 5 o’clock and that’s when I stop working and he stops working, or if I do a Facebook Live show, I go to work from 5 to 6. But on the nights that I don’t do Facebook Live, we meet at Big Al’s bar — that’s the bar at our house — and he pours me a stiff tequila of clear because clear has little to no sugar and a lot of ice.”

“We sip tequila, listen to music, sometimes we dance,” Somers continued. “Now that I have full mobility [after my neck injury], I love dancing and we dance. It’s not phony, really. It’s just what we do. During this quarantine, you can’t have people over, so it’s just the two of us and I look forward to it. Around 4 o’clock [every day], I start looking forward to it.”

Somers concluded by saying that she is “madly in love” with her husband and has been “for [more than] 50 years.”

Somers and Hamel celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary back in November.

“Happy Anniversary Al! My darling, @therealalanhamel — how I love being your wife,” she captioned an Instagram post to mark the occasion. “Married today 44 years and together 53 years! I don’t want to spend a day without you. What a life! Happy Anniversary! Thank you to @brucesomersjr and @carolinesomers for this beautiful video ❤️.”
