An Engagement on the Horizon?
Here’s the scoop, folks. Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl are more in love than ever as we step into 2025, and their bond is growing stronger with each passing day. A source close to the couple exclusively told Closer that their friends are buzzing with excitement, convinced that an engagement is just around the corner. “Their connection is undeniable,” the source reveals. “Patrick’s pals are nudging him to pop the question, and everyone knows Linda would say yes in a heartbeat.”
Now, let’s break it down. Patrick and Linda, both seasoned actors in their own right, share a deep understanding of each other that’s hard to come by. They’re the kind of couple who doesn’t need all the fanfare but, at their core, they’re traditionalists. “They try to keep things casual, but at heart, they’re old-school romantics,” the insider adds, giving us a glimpse into their world.
Soulmates Who Do Everything Together
The source goes on to paint a vivid picture of their partnership. “Patrick and Linda are soulmates, and they genuinely do everything together. It’s like a movie you’d want to watch—two people who share the same passions, love traveling, and are always eager to explore new experiences.”

And here’s the kicker: their friends are getting antsy. “While Patrick and Linda are content to let things flow naturally, their friends believe it’s time to make their relationship official. Everyone’s hoping for a big announcement in the new year,” the source confirms, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
A Journey Back to Each Other
Patrick and Linda weren’t always a couple. In fact, they were casual friends for years before life took them in different directions. It wasn’t until a group text during the height of the pandemic that they reconnected, reigniting a spark that had been dormant for far too long. By 2020, they were officially dating, and Patrick was ready to take a bold step. “I packed up my car, drove 20 hours, and showed up on her doorstep just to see if this connection was real,” Patrick shared with People in November 2020. “And since that moment, we haven’t looked back.”
Before Linda, Patrick was married to Carlyn Rosser for over four decades until her passing in 2017. When reflecting on his current relationship, Patrick told Page Six that his bond with Linda feels like a "do-again" rather than a "do-over." “We’re not retracing steps that haven’t been walked before," he explained in November 2020. "It’s not about starting over; it’s about continuing something beautiful that both of us have experienced before. This isn’t a redo—it’s a rekindling, and it’s just as perfect as the first time.”
Patrick went on to say, “It’s not about reinventing the wheel. We respect each other’s history and individuality, and that makes this relationship even more special. It’s worked out beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier.”
Marriage in Their Own Terms
While the last four years have been nothing short of magical for Patrick and Linda, the couple has openly expressed that they don’t feel the need for a legal marriage to solidify their bond. Linda told Closer in September, “In many ways, we already feel married. Our lives are intertwined, and the connection we share is undeniable.”
Patrick echoed her sentiments, saying, “To me, this relationship is about earning it every single day. It’s about continuing to care for her, provide for her, and honor her. Nowadays, there are very few downsides to not being married on paper.”

As they continue to build their lives together, Linda shared, “Coming together now is so much easier. We’re not building our careers or trying to figure out who we are. Those things are already established, for better or worse. We know what we value and what we want out of life.”
Patrick added, “There weren’t many surprises when we started blending our lives. It was about 90 percent seamless. People say this all the time, but it really felt like we’d been together for 40 years. That’s how natural it felt.”
