One fan expressed surprise, saying, “Had no idea you two were married. Two of my favorites!” Another follower responded, “I don’t think they are married,” to which the first fan replied optimistically, “Well, they look very happy and should be!”

Among the comments, one curious Instagram user asked outright, “Did they get married?” Another follower, seemingly aware of the couple’s status, confirmed, “They aren’t married yet but here’s hoping!

In June 2023, Duffy set social media ablaze with a heartfelt post that not only thrilled fans but also hinted at a major milestone in his relationship with Purl. The charming snapshot featured an impeccable-looking duo.

Duffy looked dapper in a sleek black suit. He complimented the look with a white shirt and a stylish black bow tie exuding sophistication. Meanwhile, Purl radiated in an elegant orange ensemble. Her hair cascaded in waves and she accessorized her look with a delicate cream necklace.

What really caught everyone’s eye, however, were the subtle yet significant details. Both Duffy and Purl proudly displayed their hands, adorned with rings that sparked a flurry of speculation among their followers.

Duffy’s clever caption, giving thanks for the dazzling jewelry by Charlie Lapson, further fueled the rumors. “Thanks for the bling @charlielapson!” he wrote, prompting a flood of comments from eager fans.

One particularly curious follower dared to ask, “Married?? Congrats!!” while another admirer emphasized, “Marry or not marry? Whatever, they’re so in love and that’s all that counts. ❤️” Amid the excitement, an optimistic supporter chimed in, “You better of got married, been waiting for this since you both got together! [sic]”

Duffy and Purl have captivated social media fans with their enchanting bond, leaving admirers swooning over their every post. In May, Purl shared a photo that melted hearts across the internet, capturing a moment from their romantic getaway.

The image featured the “Happy Days” star in a striking purple and sky-blue bikini, standing on a rock with arms raised, basking in the serene ocean vista. Fans couldn’t help but shower praise, particularly noticing Purl’s stunning legs. One enthusiast complimented, “Great legs, especially for your age ❣️❣️,” while another simply declared, “Great legs, period.”

Their journey from longtime friends to romantic partners began during the pandemic. A period of quarantine that unexpectedly deepened their connection.

Duffy reflected on their compatibility, noting, “Our lifestyles make us very compatible in almost every conceivable way. In the kitchen, the way we cook, the way we clean, the way we function together as individuals.”

Cooking has been a cornerstone of their relationship, symbolizing their shared passions. Duffy revealed that their early dates included cooking dinners together. Beyond romance, they’ve ventured into business together. They launched Duffy’s Dough, a food business that reflects their mutual interests and support for each other’s endeavors.

For Duffy, finding love again after losing his wife of 43 years to cancer in 2017 was unexpected until he found Purl. Since then, their bond has been inseparable.

The actor poignantly expressed, they’ve never spent a moment apart since embarking on this journey together. Their story continues to inspire, proving that love can bloom unexpectedly and beautifully, even after great loss.
