Suzanne Somers said her relationship with husband Alan Hamel is hotter than ever.
“God, our relationship has always been incredible,” recently revealed the star of “Three’s Company” on the podcast Heather Dubrow’s World on PodcastOne. “But now that our kids have been raised and it’s just me and Al, and we pay tuition, pay for weddings and help them get started – now it’s just us. Man, we’re having fun.”
Somers, 74, and Hamel, 84, have been married since 1977. And the actress shared on the podcast that because of “hormones”, the two are “having a lot of sex”.
“At this stage of life, most people think that this is, you know, in addition to the hill, a lot of information,” she explained. “But what time is it, like noon? I’ve had sex with him three times so far. What happened at 4:30 in the morning that he’s suddenly there? I’m thinking, ‘Could you just wait until the sun comes up? ? ‘”

But the star insisted that this is not the only secret behind their enduring marriage.
“I think you are in a relationship because you want attention,” she explained. “We pay close attention to each other all the time. I praise him all day. It’s not fake. I just look at him. He was coming down from the room this morning and I was coming up from the kitchen and he was wearing shorts and no shirt. “
“My husband is 84 years old,” she continued. “He looks [how] Steve McQueen used to look. He looks incredible. He works out. He has big biceps. And I said, ‘God, you are so beautiful.’ Well, that stays with him during the day. And we pay a lot of attention to each other. “
Somers also shared that courtship nights are essential to keeping the spark in the wedding alive, no matter how long.

“I think dating is very important,” said Somers. “When you have kids – little kids – you can’t pay that much attention to each other. And it’s usually when marriages end – [when] raising children … now I know that life is in chapters and the chapter we are in now … it’s just me and Al. Well, this is a powerful chapter. This is the one that you are in love with all the time. This is what I feel. I’m in love all the time. So, how can this not work? “
And according to the actress, sweating about the little things just isn’t worth it.

“You don’t look at it the way you used to,” she said. “You become more relaxed. And also the great thing I discovered about aging – and I love being in my seventies … wisdom started to flow. Wisdom is something that no young person can buy or have. It comes with the process of aging.”
In October, Somers told Fox News that not even the quarantine could test the unbreakable bond she shares with Hamel.

“We are deeply in love with each other and we are constantly kissing and laughing, telling each other how much we love each other,” she said at the time. “Alan is very affectionate with me and our shows on Facebook Live that we do three times a week are real between us. [I have] I have no idea what we’re going to do each time other than drinking tequila and cooking. “
But married life has not always been a blessing for the couple. Somers admitted that in the beginning there were problems in paradise. Today, the actress is willing to share her advice to those who face obstacles in their relationships.

“Alan and I fought all of our fights for the first 10 years, when we parted regularly and, an hour later, we worked it out,” she explained. “My advice, and I’m not sure what it’s worth, is to remember the first days of the relationship, when everything was love and respect, sexy and very hopeful.”
“We have a strange relationship,” continued Somers. “We love being together. The pandemic didn’t affect us. We spent every minute, not even one night, separated by 40 years. I know it’s unusual, but it sure works for us. We are one.”
