Lisa Niemi Swayze Received Backlash Since Remarrying

According to People magazine, Lisa spoke out about her decision to get remarried on a recent episode of the Amy and T.J. Podcast. She revealed that when she and Albert DePrisco tied the knot in 2014, a lot of people were extremely upset with her.

Lisa explained that at the time, five years had gone by since Patrick had passed away. But she still ended up getting a ton of backlash from many of his fans, just because she had found love with another man. She said that she was called “evil” for choosing to get remarried, and people even accused her of no longer loving her late husband.

Lisa “Was so Tempted, So Many Times” to Fire Back at Critics

Lisa admitted that even though she eventually learned “to deal with it and move on,” the amount of hate she received wasn’t easy to handle. She claimed that she “was so tempted, so many times” to fire back at her critics for making such “ridiculous” and hurtful comments.

Lisa ultimately knew that unless a person had been in her same exact situation, they wouldn’t understand how much she still loved Patrick. She was married to him for 34 years, so it’s not like her feelings for him simply went away when he passed, or when she got remarried.

 

How Lisa and Her Current Husband, Albert, Met

Lisa mentioned that she first met her current husband, who works as a jeweler, around three years after Patrick’s passing. She added that if they had been introduced to each other by their friends any sooner, neither she nor Albert would have been ready for a relationship.

However, Lisa eventually fell in love with Albert, and she said that “it was interesting to see how” that didn’t affect her love for Patrick at all. She also revealed that before she and Albert got married, Patrick had sent her a reassuring message in an unexpected way.

According to Smooth RadioLisa claimed on the podcast that she’d had a dream in which her late husband visited her in a courtyard. She said that he didn’t say anything to her out loud, but that wasn’t surprising, since he hadn’t spoken in any of her previous dreams about him either. 

Lisa confessed that even though Patrick didn’t talk, she felt like she could still understand what he was trying to tell her. She firmly believes that he had shown up in her dream to give her his blessing to get remarried.

Lisa has been married to Albert for close to 10 years, and apparently he’s been very understanding of her feelings regarding her late husband. She said that when he asked her to marry him, he even mentioned the love she had for Patrick in his proposal speech.
