It’s been 12 years since Farrah Fawcett passed away, and Ryan O’Neal paused to remember his unwavering bond with her. A heartfelt message posted on his social media served as a public testament to the profound impact she had on his life. Soon after this tribute, the now 80-year-old actor was spotted running errands in Brentwood, California. Using a walker for stability, he visited a local market, maintaining a modest yet dignified appearance.
For this casual outing, the Paper Moon star wore a comfortable outfit—a dark long-sleeve shirt paired with relaxed, faded jeans. He completed the look with gray athletic sneakers and thin-rimmed glasses, adding a touch of understated style. Moving at a calm pace, he crossed the parking lot and got into the passenger seat of a car.
This recent public appearance followed O’Neal’s tribute to Fawcett, the Charlie’s Angels star with whom he had a long, complicated romance. Fawcett passed away from cancer on June 25, 2009, at the age of 62. On the anniversary of her death, O’Neal posted a nostalgic photo of the two embracing, captioned with a brief but poignant message: “Miss my angel.”
Their love story began in 1979, during Fawcett’s marriage to actor Lee Majors. Over time, their undeniable chemistry evolved into a legendary Hollywood romance. Their relationship was often turbulent, and O’Neal’s reputation as a romantic led to many ups and downs. Despite a breakup in 1997, they reunited in 2001 when Fawcett supported O’Neal during his battle with leukemia.
In 2006, when she was diagnosed with cancer, O’Neal became her constant caregiver. He stayed devoted, was by her side during her final moments, and even proposed to her in her hospital room. She said yes, but her health rapidly declined, preventing the marriage from taking place.
