Patrick Swayze, known worldwide for his unforgettable roles in films like Dirty Dancing and Ghost, wasn’t just a gifted actor, dancer, and singer — he was also a devoted husband
Throughout his life, Swayze remained deeply committed to one woman: Lisa Niemi, his wife of 34 years, who stood by his side until his final breath.
Theirs was a love story that seemed straight out of a romantic drama, full of beauty, struggle, resilience, and unshakable connection. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine a heartfelt film based on their relationship — with the real-life couple themselves as the stars. Love at First Sight — and a Different Kind of Attraction. Patrick met Lisa in the early 1970s, when he was in his early twenties. At the time, he was just beginning his career in dance and acting, and Lisa was a 15-year-old student at his mother’s ballet school in Houston, Texas
