Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl found love later in life and are head over heels for each other.
The Dallas alum was previously married to ballet dancer Carlyn Rosser from 1974 until her death in 2017 at age 77.
“I feel close to her all the time, [but] what I miss most is her touch,” Patrick exclusively told Closer in 2019. “I still consider myself a married man.”
That changed when he and friend Linda formed a bond the following year during the COVID-19 pandemic. They grew incredibly close and fell in love. The couple has been together ever since, as their relationship timeline shows.
