Lady Wilnelia Forsyth, the widow of Bruce Forsyth, is contemplating entering the dating scene once again, nearly a decade after the passing of the iconic Strictly star. At 67 years old, she expressed her openness to finding love in the future while emphasizing her current contentment. The former beauty queen, who was married to Bruce for 34 years until his death at 89 in 2017, highlighted her positive outlook despite the challenges of adjusting to a new routine following her husband’s demise.
Lady Wilnelia, a Puerto Rican native and Miss World 1975 winner, attributed her youthful appearance to maintaining happiness and recently gaining a few pounds. She acknowledged the difficulties of the past eight years but emphasized staying busy with family, charitable endeavors, and her newfound passion for golf, with a current handicap of 24.
Reflecting on her late husband’s fondness for golf, Lady Wilnelia shared her involvement in charitable golf initiatives, believing Bruce would have been proud of her golfing pursuits. She also mentioned her active lifestyle, including travels to her homeland and attendance at prestigious events like Ascot, describing her experiences as “wonderful.”
Maintaining connections with Bruce’s family, Lady Wilnelia revealed her latest philanthropic venture in Puerto Rico dedicated to caregivers, inspired by her late parents’ battles with Alzheimer’s disease. She also hinted at an upcoming gala to commemorate the 50th anniversary of her Miss World win.
Having been Bruce’s third wife, Lady Wilnelia’s relationship with the entertainer was notably harmonious compared to his previous marriages and extramarital affairs. Despite a significant age gap, their enduring love and companionship spanned over three decades, with Bruce often expressing gratitude for meeting his “third wife” as one of the luckiest moments in his life.
