The news of the pair’s nuptials came after they each respectively lost their spouses. Schneider lost his wife Alicia Allain Schneider to breast cancer in February 2023, while Sorvino also lost her husband Paul Sorvino in July 2022. The Goodfellas actor "passed from natural causes and had dealt with health issues over the past few years," a release stated at the time.
Following the news of Alicia’s death, Schneider told PEOPLE that he missed "every damn thing" about Alicia "every day." Sorvino also shared in a statement that Paul "was the love of my life” and “one of the greatest performers to ever grace the screen and stage."
Schneider and Sorvino’s ceremony also comes several months after the Secret Service opened a probe into comments the Smallville actor made toward President Joe Biden. He replied to a post Biden made on X (formerly Twitter) expressing that former President Donald Trump "poses many threats to our country."
"Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son, too,” John wrote in a since-deleted reply to the post. “Your response is..?,” he wrote, before later denying that he had threatened the president in a statement shared with PEOPLE.
Five months after those statements, he announced that he was dating Sorvino, calling their relationship “a miracle.”
"God sent a widower to a widow and a widow to a widower who [gets] it, who understands. Because I tell you what, I was ready to give it up, all of it — everything," he explained on Grace Begins, The Podcast. "Then just when I thought the very notion of dating or holding another hand was repulsive, I met this one, that crazy Dame over there.”
