After enduring the devastating loss of his wife, John Schneider has found love again. The beloved actor and singer has tied the knot with Dee Dee Sorvino marking a season of happiness and joy.
“The Dukes of Hazzard” star, John Schneider, has recently embarked on a new chapter in his life. He and Dee Dee Sorvino, the widow of the late actor Paul Sorvino, exchanged vows in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas.
The setting for their intimate nuptials was nothing short of spectacular—a white convertible, once owned by the singer Usher, provided the backdrop for their vows.
The couple couldn’t contain their joy and shared their excitement with the media through their representative, declaring, “Just when we thought our happiest days were forever behind us … WE HAPPENED.”
As if the surprise wedding wasn’t enough, they’re also planning a grand celebration in a week’s time to commemorate the anniversary of their first meeting. John didn’t keep the news to himself for long. He took to his Facebook page to excitedly announce, “Big news, big news, everybody! DeeDee and I got hitched last night in Vegas.”
The actor, who lost his third wife Alicia Allain in 2023, reflected on his journey with his followers, sharing that he had never imagined happiness could be within reach again.
The New York native emphasized the strength of his supporters, stating that they were more resilient than they might realize. John also hinted that those who have passed are not only watching over them but also providing a gentle push from beyond.
The 64-year-old then admitted he never thought he would laugh again, but now he finds himself laughing all the time. Grateful for the support and love in his life, he expressed his thanks to his late wife Alicia, his new wife DeeDee, and even DeeDee’s late ex-husband, Paul, saying, “Thanks, DeeDee! Thanks, Paul!! Thanks, Alicia!!!”
Fans have rallied behind John, celebrating his newfound joy with an outpouring of support. One astonished admirer exclaimed, “Is this real? Wow! Shocker! Congratulations. I hope you’ll be very happy!”
Meanwhile, some have come to John’s defense, taking aim at critics who’ve judged him. One passionate supporter urged, “People STOP JUDGING HIM! He deserves happiness and his ‘SMILE’ would agree and want to see him happy!”
Others, taken aback by the swiftness of his move after his wife’s passing, commented, “Wow, that was fast.” To this, John replied with candid honesty, “Seriously? How long is long enough to not wake up in the morning and wish you had died in your sleep? Just wondering.”
John further expressed his thoughts by asserting, “Happiness is a gift that should be cherished.” He concluded, “I never thought I would see it again and here you are making despicable comments. Shameful.”
Amid the whirlwind of criticism, John and Dee Dee are steadfast in their commitment to each other. They’ve been showcasing their love with a series of dazzling red carpet appearances.
Their public outings have been nothing short of glamorous—like when they graced the Aspiring Magazine autumn issue launch at The Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood, California, back in October 2023.
Their Hollywood adventures didn’t stop there; they also turned heads in July 2023 at the grand opening of the Hollywood Museum’s new exhibit honoring Abbott and Costello.
