Later on, a rep for Derek also clarified John’s statement to USA TODAY that they were “married late last year in a private ceremony.”

John Corbett And Bo Derek Had 20 Years Long Dating Life
John Corbett, 60, and Bo Derek, 64, first linked through John’s friend, a Hollywood agent Norby Walters back in 2002. Norby was revealed to have set him up with his now-wife Bo, which John told back in 2015 on Today.
The pair started dating in 2002, after Bo’s then-husband, John Derek, passed away in 1998. John quickly got attracted to the beauty in front of him in their first meeting, and Bo also gradually opened up her heart for the actor as time went by. Eventually, nothing stopped them from getting closer to each other over time. The couple resides close to Bo’s family and enjoys their free time together every now and then.
And after all these years of dating, the couple intimately tied the knot during the pandemic lockdown in 2020. However, they were not in much spotlight when it comes to marriage since back in 2016, Corbett told The Huffington Post’s Lauren Moraski that the “secret” to being together is to not “get married.”
Similarly, Derek previously told Entertainment Tonight:
“We talk about [marriage] sometimes, but we don’t have children and we’re not young, so there isn’t that pressure or need to get married.”
But, to our surprise, the couple privately arranged a ceremony for them to get married over Christmas time last year.
