Following her breast cancer diagnosis in 2019, both spoke openly about her battle with the disease.

She stated: “This past Memorial Day I was diagnosed with stage 4 HER2 negative cancer. I went into like a speed course of reading what path I was going to take. I decided to do keto for cancer, CBD oil, and then ground myself in minerals. I got into a really rigid regime.”

At the time of Alicia’s passing, Schneider said: "I've no words to communicate the depths of my sadness. She was and is ... whatever!"

Now, though, after his wedding to Sorvino, Schneider is full of joy. His post continued: “I honestly never thought I would ever laugh again… and now I laugh all the time!”

With new-found perspective and the passage of time, Schneider shared how he had come full circle, sharing his love for Dee Dee with: “I sure do love that crazy dame at the end of the bar! Thanks DeeDee! Thanks, Paul!! Thanks, Alicia!!!"

Paul was the father of actress Mira Sorvino. Following his passing, she tweeted of the Goodfellas actor: “My heart is rent asunder, a life of love and joy and wisdom with him is over. He was the most wonderful father. I love him so much. I'm sending you love in the stars Dad as you ascend."
