On Wednesday, Linda Purl took to social media to help celebrate Patrick Duffy’s birthday.
Dallas star Patrick Duffy found love again with musician and Happy Days actress Linda Purl. Previously, Duffy was married to Carlyn Rosser for more than four decades until she died of cancer in 2017. In an interview with PEOPLE, the actor admitted that he was surprised to find such a meaningful relationship again. Duffy and Purl met years ago as casual friends, but the pair recently reconnected due to a group text chain. Duffy and Purl soon developed a relationship over the phone, which led to Duffy driving 20 hours to Purl’s doorstep.
