Patrick Swayze’s unwavering devotion to his wife, Lisa, lasted throughout his life, with Lisa standing by his side until his passing at the age of 58.
Their love story could easily be the foundation of a romantic drama, as their deep affection for one another remained strong even after 34 years of marriage.
Swayze met Lisa in the late 1970s when he was in his early 20s and she was just 15 and studying ballet. Unlike other girls, Lisa didn’t fawn over him, which intrigued Patrick and eventually won his heart. Over time, their romance blossomed, and they married in 1975.
Despite facing the heartache of losing a child, they shared a strong bond that grew stronger through the ups and downs of their careers and personal lives.
Beyond being husband and wife, they were also best friends who shared a passion for dancing and even started a business together. When Patrick battled alcohol addiction after the death of his father and sister, Lisa’s unwavering support helped him overcome his struggles.
After Patrick’s death in 2009, Lisa struggled with the idea of moving on for five years, feeling it would betray her late husband. However, she eventually realized that Patrick would have wanted her to be happy, leading her to open her heart to love again.
In 2012, Lisa married billionaire Albert DePrisco, and they now live in Florida, where she is content with her new life while keeping Patrick’s memory alive through shared moments and photos from their past.
