The Canadian entertainer dressed casually for the outing in a partly unbuttoned patterned orange shirt paired with black pants and formal shoes. The former model, on the other hand, opted for a business casual look comprising a gray blazer over an off-white top with plaid pants.

Hamel and Cassidy twinned in matching white caps gotten from the hotel gift shop, adding flames to the affair rumors. Per the Daily Mail, the alleged lovebirds grabbed a lobster lunch at Broad Beach Oyster Company before leaving together in a black SUV.

Hamel and Cassidy’s romantic appearance hints at the widower’s first serious relationship since Somers’ death. However, both women share a surprising connection.

The 79-year-old starred alongside Somers in the 1985 miniseries “Hollywood Wives.” Cassidy played the role of Marilee Gray while the deceased actress portrayed Gina Germaine.

The three-part miniseries, adapted from Jackie Collins’ book of the same name, followed a group of wealthy, attractive, snobbish women as they navigate the low life and high society of Hollywood.

Cassidy boasts an impressive acting career, having won a Golden Globe for her role in the NBC comedy series “Buffalo Bill.” Her other acting credits include “Six Feet Under,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “Body of Proof,” and “Under Fire.”

As for her personal life, the actress-model has been divorced from her ex-husband Kennard C. Kobrin since 1974. Not much is known about her past relationships.

Hamel and Cassidy’s debut comes as Somers’ second death anniversary approaches in four months.

Fans may recall that for her first death anniversary, Hamel took fans down memory lane to the start of their beautiful love story. The widower, in an interview, revealed that things were tumultuous at the beginning.

“For the first few years of our love affair, we fought like mad dogs. But we always returned to our passionate love for one another,” the “Razzle Dazzle” star recalled. He credited Somers for helping them overcome their differences.

“After one of our fights, Suzanne said to me, ‘No matter how bad it gets, let’s never break up.’ And we never did,” the grieving widower said at the time.

Hamel added that they always held hands. “We always went to sleep every night holding hands, and in the morning, I would always awaken a few minutes before Suzanne, and I would just lie there, staring at her beautiful face,” he remembered.

He recalled a “very strange” incident when “a hummingbird flew” into their home and “hovered” over a framed picture of Hamel and Somers in their breakfast nook.  The bird then “landed on top and stayed there.”

There was another occurrence where “the fireplace started all by itself” and “some music played by Suzanne’s favorite composer.” Processing the unusual happenings, the Canadian native said:

“I’m a believer now that there is an after life. I’m convinced of it… I think there’s something we don’t understand. I think there’s a plane somewhere… after we discard our bodies. We still have our soul. I think our soul is energy. The soul must go somewhere and do something.”

“The Suzanne Somers Show” host passed away on October 15, 2023, one day before her 77th birthday, in her Palm Springs home.

Although no autopsy was carried out on the late actress, it was confirmed that other underlying conditions, such as hypertension and hydrocephalus, contributed to her passing.

Somers was laid to rest at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City in an intimate funeral service held three days after her passing.
