(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, October 09, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Since her husband Patrick Swayze died in 2009, Lisa Niemi has welcomed a new man into her life.
According to “People” magazine, Niemi has been dating jeweler Albert DePrisco after meeting him through a mutual friend at her last birthday party.
After being married to Swayze for 34 years, however, Niemi is in no hurry to rush the romance.
“It’s new, and they’re taking it slow,” said a representative for Niemi.
Niemi stayed by Swayze’s side as he battled cancer, and last year helped to memorialize him with a wax statue.
“It became clear to me that someone had put a lot of love into this, for a man I loved so very much,” she said at the time.
The couple had been childhood sweethearts who remained close throughout their relationship, even working together from time to time. A talented dancer and choreographer, Niemi helped Swayze learn the dance moves in “Dirty Dancing.”
Niemi told “People” she is finally recovering from the grief she experienced following Swayze’s death.
“I know I’m stronger now,” she said. “The fact that I’ve had some good days definitely gives me hope that I can have more.”
