For nearly five decades, Loni Anderson’s teenage love was always somewhere in the back of her mind. And in May, she finally married him.

“Never give up on finding your true love,” Anderson, 62, tells People.

After three marriages, the star of WKRP in Cincinnati and ex-wife of Burt Reynolds called up folk singer Bob Flick on a whim – and restarted a romance that they nurtured long distance.

“We had a year-long phone relationship, and I never ran out of things to say,” Anderson says. “I fell in love through the phone calls. There was no pressure. We would just talk and talk.”

The two had dated for seven months when Anderson was a 17-year-old Minnesota model. But she never stopped thinking about him, even singing his songs to her daughter and son when they were children. And by the time he proposed, there was only one answer Anderson could give.

“We were talking about things and I asked, what did he see happening in the next year,” she says. “He said, ‘To marry you.’ I said, yes, I would.”

Aging pin-up Loni Anderson has married folk singer Bob Flick.

The 62-year-old WKRP In Cincinnati star exchanged nuptials with The Brothers Four singer Flick in a ceremony on Saturday night, which was attended by friends and family.

Anderson was given away by her son Quinton, from her former marriage to actor Burt Reynolds, which ended in divorce in 1993.

The couple originally dated for six months when Anderson was a teenage model, but they split and went their separate ways as her acting career took off.

It is the fourth marriage for Anderson, who has decided to keep her maiden name.

She has also previously been wed to Ross Bickell and Bruce Hasselbeck.

Loni Anderson has gotten engaged to her childhood sweetheart, folk singer Bob Flick, after dating for two years.

They are set to be married some time this year and this will mark the fourth time the bride-to-be has walked down the aisle. This time is different for Loni, as she first met Bob when she was 17-years-old and dated him for six months.

They lost touch, but reconnected five years ago in Seattle when Loni was touring the country to benefit the Chronic Obstruction of Pulmonary Disease Organization.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
