Alan Hamel, 88, is dating after losing his beloved wife, Suzanne Somers, over a year ago.

The “Three’s Company” star — who died a day before her 77th birthday — urged her husband of 46 years to find love again, he says.

A showbiz insider told Page Six: “Alan was seen out on a date night with not one but two attractive women at Capo in Santa Monica” recently.

The gentlemanly producer confided to Page Six when we reached out: “Since Suzanne was my only date for over 50 years, I’m a virgin dater. Suzanne told me when we knew the end was near not to ‘mope around’ and live my life.”

Hamel unveiled his wife’s headstone at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, Calif., on Oct. 15 to mark the first anniversary of her passing.

Besides following Somers’ wishes to date, he’s celebrating this season with family and friends. “Suzanne loved having as big a Christmas tree as possible,” he recalled. “She did all the decorations while I steadied the stool and was prepared at every moment for her to fall into my arms.”

He also shared a holiday hack!

“I contributed to the decorating by having an extra 40 or 50 empty boxes, gift wrapped beautifully and put under the tree. I learned that in nursery school when I was one of the three wise men! After the play, I liberated three of the gifts under the nursery Christmas tree, and when I got home and opened them, they were all empty — lesson learned.”

He said that with Somers, today would have been spent “opening gifts, [then] we would meet friends for breakfast and all go hiking . . . We loved hiking. We would go almost every morning and when we got to the top of the mountain and caught our breath, we would exchange how we felt about each other, kiss and [share] a very long hug.”

Hamel said to release oxytocin, “a kiss should last more than six seconds, and a hug should last more than 20 seconds.”

“For the first few years of our love affair, we fought like mad dogs,” Hamel previously told Page Six of Somers. “But we always returned to our passionate love for one another…  After one of our fights, Suzanne said to me, ‘No matter how bad it gets, let’s never break up.’ And we never did.”
