The couple collaborated professionally during their romance too, with Hamel working as her manager since the ’80s.
Hamel toldPeoplethe day his wife was diagnosed was, " … the saddest day of my life."
After a painful surgery, Hamel continued staying by Somers' side.
“For five days he stayed in bed with me,” Somers said to the outlet.
“Business didn’t exist.
He brought me soup and turned off the phones.”
He also supported her decision to use natural treatments post-surgery instead of chemotherapy.
What a life!"
She also said, “Alan has been by my side every step of the way.
I can’t even explain how much he has done for me.
If it’s even possible, we are even closer than ever.”
In an interview withUs Weeklyfrom 2021, Somers said, “We give each other a lot of attention.
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.”
Hamel also mentioned how they give each other adequate attention and respect.
“We have busy mornings,” she said on the show.
Somers also spoke about her and Hamel’s busy sex life withDaily Maila few years later.
She mentioned hormones again and, more specifically, said she and Hamel took weekly PT-141 shots.
“And, so, isn’t that a wonderful thing?”
“But when you have a fractured hip, there is no sex.”
Then, Hamel wrote, “What brand of love do I feel for my wife Suzanne?
Can I find it in any of the above?
A resounding no!!!!
Hamel continued to say that even a phrase such as “unconditional love” was not enough.
He listed out some other things that could not adequately explain how he feels for Somers.
“I’m back to feelings,” Hamel said.
“There are no words.
There are no actions.
So I will call it, ‘us,’ uniquely, magically, indescribably wonderful ‘us.'”
I am in love with you, my beautiful Suzanne, for all of eternity.”
