Lisa met her fiance, Albert DePrisco, a year and a half ago at her birthday party. A mutual friend served as cupid, introducing Niemi to the 58 year old jeweler. In 2012, Lisa’s rep had said, “It’s new, and they’re taking it slow.” Now, her rep confirms, “Albert proposed to Lisa on Christmas Eve.”
According to an inside source, Patrick would be very happy for Lisa and her recent engagement. The source indicated, “[Patrick] was adamant that Lisa go on with her life after he died,” and went on to say, “It worried him terribly that she might shut herself away in her grief. He told her he wanted her to live and do what she did best, giver her greatest asset, her love to another.”
In a blog Lisa wrote this year, she spoke of Swayze:
“The more time that passes, the more I know this is true – My relationship with him is still close, but now it’s close, very close, in a very different way. And yeah, I miss him, miss his physical presence (today is one of those days where I particularly feel lonely for him), but there is no doubt that I feel his thoughts with me, his wonder, his courage. He offers his eyes to see life through when I need it, as he offers me love to guide me.”
