Patrick Duffy: "Dallas" star is forgiven after the death of his wife

"Dallas" star Patrick Duffy falls in love with his wife after the death. He made the relationship with his colleague Linda Purl public.

Patrick Duffy (71, "Dallas") announced his new love affair in an interview with the US magazine "People": The series star made the relationship with his fellow actress Linda Purl (65, "Happy Days") public. "I'm in an incredibly happy relationship," said Duffy. The 71-year-old hadn't believed in a new love for a long time.

New love started with chat messages

In 2017, the series star's wife, Carlyn Rosser (1939-2017), died at the age of 77. The couple married in 1974, and the sons Padraic (46) and Conor (40) resulted from the marriage. "I didn't think I'd feel like this again. My wife and I lived side by side for 48 years." Since her death, Duffy had focused on being a father and a grandfather. The corona pandemic then brought him his new love happiness.

According to "People", the actor was friends with Linda Purl years ago, but the two lost sight of each other. During the corona isolation, they both became members of a group chat among friends.

In the course of time, the couple also wrote apart from the established group. "At that point, I fully charged my car, drove 20 hours, and ended up on their doorstep just to see if it was real," said Duffy. "We haven't broken up since then." The actor knows that it is also the wish of his late wife that he enjoy his happiness. "If the opportunity is offered to you, take it if it is right for you."
