Romance is brewing between two TV stars of the 1970s and 80s!

"I'm in an incredibly happy relationship," Duffy revealed to People of his new love, Purl. He went on to describe his surprise at the relationship as well. Sadly, in 2017, Duffy had lost his wife of over 40 years, Carlyn. He explained: "I never thought for a minute this would happen again. I never thought I'd feel this way again."
People writes that the Dallas and Happy Days actors were friends years ago and they only recently reconnected in a group chat during the pandemic. They got to talking and realized they might have something.
"I loaded up my car and drove 20 hours and ended up on her doorstep just to see if it was real," Duffy recalled. "We haven't been apart since."
