Patrick Swayze’s Wife Lisa Niemi Talks Getting Remarried After His Death: ‘I Got Flack’


Patrick Swayze's wife, Lisa Niemi, has opened up about getting remarried after the beloved actor's death, revealing she got 'a lot of flack' for moving on.

“Yes, I got a lot of flack— it’s like, ‘How dare you.’ There are some pretty rabid Patrick fans out there who think I’m evil, just don’t like me because I was married to him. The talented dancer met ​now-husband Albert DePrisco “about three years” after Patrick died via mutual friends. That is until Albert asked me to marry him!” she told People at the time of their nuptials, adding it was “a leap of faith” to accept his proposal.
