John Schneider and Dee Dee Sorvino found love in the midst of their grief.
The “Dukes of Hazzard” star, 64, and Sorvino, 57, got married in Las Vegas on Tuesday after both lost their spouses within the past two years.
The newlyweds are reportedly planning a formal wedding celebration at the beginning of August at The Hollywood Museum, where they first met.
Schneider revealed he was dating Sorvino in May 2024 during an appearance on the “Grace Begins” podcast.
The “Smallville” actor praised his “wonderful” year with Sorvino, despite the “really rough” period following the death of his former wife, Alicia Allain, in February 2023.
“God sent a widower to a widow and a widow to a widower who [gets] it, who understands. Because I tell you what, I was ready to give it up, all of it — everything,” he explained while holding back tears.
“Then just when I thought the very notion of dating or holding another hand was repulsive, I met this one, that crazy Dame over there,” he said, gesturing off camera to where Sorvino was sitting.
Schneider described their romance as a “miracle” that truly saved his life.
The television personality lost her former husband, Paul Sorvino, in July 2022. The "Goodfellas" star, who had been married twice before, died of natural causes at the age of 83.
The couple had been married for eight years when he passed away.
“Our hearts are broken,” Dee Dee said in a statement at the time. “There will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage.”
Despite her new relationship with Schneider, Dee Dee continues to regularly post tributes to her late husband online.
