Suzanne Somers spent the end of her life happily in love with her husband, Alan Hamel.
Just two months before her death at the age of 76, the “Three’s Company” star took to Instagram to share a smiling photo with Hamel, 87, along with a sweet message about how he had been there for her throughout her long battle with breast cancer.
“Since I have been taking time off from work, many of you have asked for more details about my health. As you know, I had breast cancer two decades ago, and every now and then it pops up again, and I continue to bat it down,” she captioned the post on July 31.
“I have used the best alternative and conventional treatments to combat it. This is not new territory for me. I know how to put on my battle gear and I’m a fighter. Alan has been by my side every step of the way.”
Somers told fans that she found it difficult to articulate all the ways that Hamel had supported her.
“I can’t even explain how much he has done for me. If it’s even possible, we are even closer than ever,” she wrote.
The actress also thanked her loved ones for aiding in keeping her work afloat.
“My incredible family has been so supportive, and have helped so much by keeping the business running so you can still have access to all the wonderful products,” she shared. “Thank you for the continued love and support.”
Somers concluded her post, “It’s only about who you love and who loves you – and I love you! ✨
