John Schneider and Dee Dee Sorvino are married.
The Dukes of Hazzard actor, 64, and television personality tied the knot in Las Vegas on Tuesday, July 23, according to a press release. Their union comes after both stars lost their spouses in the past two years.
John’s late wife, Alicia Allain Schneider, died from breast cancer in February 2023. In a conversation with PEOPLE in August 2023, the star said he missed "every damn thing" about Alicia "every day."
"I have to get to the point where I look around and see where she is, not where she's not," he told PEOPLE at the time. "And I'm trying to do that, but that's hard. Somehow I love her more every minute, but with that, somehow I miss her more every minute."

The Goodfellas actor "passed from natural causes and had dealt with health issues over the past few years," a release stated at the time.
"Our hearts are broken," Dee Dee said in a statement at the time. "There will never be another Paul Sorvino, he was the love of my life, and one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage."
In addition to their Vegas nuptials, John and Dee Dee plan to have an official wedding celebration on Aug. 1 at The Hollywood Museum, where they first met.
News of the couple’s union also comes seven months after John made headlines for writing that President Joe Biden should be "publicly hung."
