6. How They Met
In an interview with OK magazine, Dorinda recounted the story of how she met her current boyfriend John Mahdessian, and surprisingly enough it was through her ex-husband, Richard! “We belonged to a small little club and [Richard] was there with John. We were never close but we’d always see him at this little club and say hi and have a drink and he was always nice. Then, about six months later after he died, I ran into him and he said, ‘Oh my God, how’s Richard?’ I said, ‘Well, he passed.’ He said, ‘Why don’t we grab some lunch?’ It really just developed as a friendship and after someone passes, you’re not looking to get together with someone. You’re rebuilding and he’s been such a good friend and such a great companion,” she said.
