However, the widower is now all-in on a new romance. Hamel recently confirmed his relationship with Joanna Cassidy, 79, who appeared alongside Somers in the 1983 miniseries Hollywood Wives. The new couple, who first met in the ’70s, reconnected earlier this year after Hamel’s son ran into Cassidy at a film screening and offered to set them up.

Alan Hamel began dating Joanna Cassidy several months ago after his son reconnected them. Cassidy and Hamel's late wife Suzanne Somers were friends, having starred in the "Hollywood Wives" miniseries in 1985.
