‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider announces Las Vegas wedding to Dee Dee Sorvino
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — “Dukes of Hazzard” star John Schneider and Dee Dee Sorvino have reportedly married in Las Vegas. The couple posted that they had tied the knot on Facebook on Wednesday, July 24.
Dee Dee Sorvino is an Emmy-winning talk show host and has several acting credits to her name. She’s also an author.
The pair have been dating since last year. They were photographed together Oct. 4 at the Aspiring Magazine autumn issue launch event in Los Angeles, California.
He also spoke about their relationship in a May 29 episode of Grace Begins, The Podcast.
“God sent a widow to a widower and a widower to a widow,” he said during the interview. He said he’d almost hit the point of finding the idea of dating or holding someone else’s hand “repulsive” until she came along, calling it “a miracle.”
Dee Dee Sorvino wrote in her own announcement, “After losing Paul I never thought I would find love again and then this guy came along who also lost his wife.”
Schneider referenced his late wife Alicia Allain and Paul Sorvino, who was married to Dee Dee Sorvino until his death in 2022, in the wedding news. He thanked both of them and said those who have passed over are watching out for them.
“Thank you to Paul for bringing me John. Before Paul died he kept telling me to find love again when he was gone and I said no way, not happening. Clearly he is still the boss in heaven,” Dee Dee Sorvino wrote.

“Those of you who’ve been riding shotgun with me this last year and a half or so can understand that I never dreamed that happiness would be possible again,” Schneider wrote Wednesday.
Schneider’s late wife, Alicia Allain, died in February 2023 following a battle with cancer.
Schneider is currently in a legal fight with the estate of his late wife, Alicia Allain, and her daughter, Jessica Dollard, over memorabilia and property that was transferred to Allain’s business, Maven Entertainment.
Recently, Schneider alleged on social media that his belongings, including the Allain’s ashes had been taken from his home. He urged fans to call two sites that had posted sales of career memorabilia. The sales sites, via an attorney, said they were legally hired by the appropriate owner, Dollard. The statement from counsel also specifically said the ashes were never handled by the sale workers and were not part of the contracted items. The companies reportedly received threatening calls about the sales and pulled down the listing.
In his wedding announcement, he said that when Allain died, he thought he’d never laugh again, but he now laughs all the time.
“I sure do love that crazy dame at the end of the bar!” Schneider wrote.
