In a revelation of private moments that spotlighted her final years, the accomplished actress and entrepreneur, Suzanne Somers, remained unapologetically passionate about her intimate life. A celebrated figure for her role in the iconic sitcom Three's Company, Suzanne continued to draw attention for her candid discussions about maintaining a vibrant romantic relationship, even at the age of 76.
Somers, who unfortunately passed away on October 15 following a recurrence of breast cancer, was unabashed in her discussions regarding her active love life with her husband, Alan Hamel. "Giving your partner what they need" was a mantra she believed held the secret to the spark in any relationship.
Their love story began amidst a web of complexities. They first crossed paths during their professional commitments on The Anniversary Game in 1969, during which time Hamel was married to someone else. This professional connection soon blossomed into an enduring relationship, culminating in their marriage in 1977.
Remarkably candid about her choices, Suzanne spoke openly about her reliance on hormones, specifically estrogen and progesterone injections, to maintain the vitality of her relationship. "At this stage of life, most people think that's, you know, over the hill," she mentioned in a recent podcast. Reflecting on the day's events, she shared, "But what time is it, like noon? I've had sex with him three times so far today."
An insider familiar with the couple shed light on their routine, describing their spontaneous moments and the romantic evenings meticulously planned by Suzanne. "Other times, Suzanne would plan a romantic evening dinner, candlelight, music, and she'd cook the meal wearing a sexy little outfit," the source mentioned. They even had a penchant for relishing the freedom of their sprawling home, often enjoying a dip in the pool sans clothing.
Somers, known for her sense of humor and wit, once had to set the record straight in 2020 after an accident in her home led to speculation that the injuries were intimacy-related.
"Suzanne lived free, uninhibited, sexually charged and loving herself and her man," recalls the source. And true to her nature, when approached for advice, Suzanne never held back, generously sharing tips to keep the flame alive.
