Lisa Niemi, Patrick Swayze's Widow, Engaged to Albert DePrisco
Patrick Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi, is engaged to Albert DePrisco, a 58-year-old jeweler. He proposed on Christmas Eve after a yr and a half of courting.
Niemi first went public with DePrisco closing October in Miami.
The duo met through a mutual friend at a celebration.
Reports surfaced final month claiming Niemi and DePrisco were headed for marriage. She allegedly purchased a condo in Boca Raton, Fla., to be close to him.
Swayze and Niemi married in 1975, and have been together until his demise in 2009 from pancreatic cancer. She waited three years to take away her wedding ring.
So why’d she take it off?
"About a year ago or eight months ago, all of a sudden I had this bizarre thought and it didn’t really make sense to me," Niemi recalled in an interview.
"I had a moment when I went, ‘you know what this ring says? I’m married to his physical form,’" she added of her choice to in the end take away the hoop.
"My connection to him, since he has been gone, has been much deeper than that. I felt like in a way, for me personally, wearing the ring was lying about the depth of our relationship."
We want her the most productive in her engagement. Congratulations!
