90s sitcom icon surfaces with English husband who starred opposite Clint Eastwood… who is this Hollywood golden couple?

by

A popular actress known for a hit 1990s TV comedy was seen in Los Angeles this week. It was a windy day!

She was with her husband, who was English and an actor. He appeared on her show regularly, had a role in the TV series 24, and also starred in a film alongside Clint Eastwood.

The 67-year-old actress became internationally known thanks to a popular TV show, and then starred in another successful sitcom that aired from 2009 to 2018.

Over the years, I’ve noticed she’s become quite well-known not just for her work, but also for speaking her mind politically. It’s refreshing, really, because she’s one of the few people in Hollywood who openly shares conservative viewpoints – it takes courage to go against the grain!

I saw photos this week of the amazing actress, who’s 67, just out for a stroll, and she looked so comfortable and chic! She was wearing a light grey sweatshirt with loose-fitting Adidas sweatpants – totally effortless style, as always.

Can you guess who she and her husband are?

Patricia Heaton, best known for her role as Debra Barone in the hit TV show Everybody Loves Raymond, is joining forces with David Hunt, an English actor who appeared in the last Dirty Harry film with Clint Eastwood.

For a recent appearance, Heaton wore clothes that showed off her fit physique, which she’s previously mentioned maintaining with the help of a tummy tuck.

While his wife worked out, 72-year-old Hunt joined in, sporting a complete Adidas tracksuit to match her Adidas pants.

I nearly fainted when I saw pictures of them in LA! It was just weeks after Sadie announced she and Tom were moving to Nashville, so seeing them still hanging out there was such a surprise! I’ve been checking every fan account, desperate for any sign of them, and that little glimpse just… made my week!

She explained to Dave Rubin on The Rubin Report that she feels taxes, crime, and homelessness are all too high in Los Angeles. Because of this, and a shift in where she’s working, she’s considering moving away.

She married Hunt in 1990, long before becoming famous, and together they have four adult sons: Samuel, John, Joseph, and Daniel.

Debra Jo Heaton charmed audiences across the country with her role as Ray Barone’s often-frustrated wife on the show, starring Ray Romano.

Everybody Loves Raymond became a huge hit, thanks to its talented cast including Doris Roberts, Peter Boyle, and Brad Garrett, who played Ray’s family members – his parents and brother.

The show aired on CBS for nine seasons, from 1996 to 2005. It was part of a popular era for sitcoms, alongside hits like Friends, Seinfeld, Roseanne, Frasier, Home Improvement, Sex and the City, Will & Grace, The Nanny, and The King of Queens.

Heaton received two Emmy Awards for playing Debra, and was nominated seven times overall. She also earned a Screen Actors Guild Award, among other honors.

Patricia Heaton also appeared on the show ‘Everybody Loves Raymond,’ where she played Bill, a neighbor of the Barone family that Ray particularly disliked.

Four years after the popular show Everybody Loves Raymond ended, Ed O’Neill starred in another hit sitcom, The Middle, playing a different kind of suburban dad.

Heaton played the mother in a nine-season television series, alongside Neil Flynn, portraying the parents of a working-class family in a small Indiana town. The show, similar to ‘Everybody Loves Raymond,’ followed the everyday lives of this family.

Pat Finn, a beloved actor from the show, passed away at age 60 just three days before Christmas after a fight with cancer. His co-star, Heaton, shared a touching tribute following the sad news.

A truly kind and hilarious person has passed away and is now with God,” a religious follower shared online. “Everyone who knew him loved him, and he’ll be remembered for his kindness, strong friendships, and incredible sense of humor.

Heaton is a passionate advocate for certain political positions. He strongly opposes abortion and the use of embryonic stem cells, and is a dedicated supporter of Israel.

She used to be a dedicated Republican, but she changed her affiliation after the January 6th Capitol riot and has been an independent voter ever since.

Oh my gosh, you guys, Hunt was amazing in ‘The Dead Pool’! It was the fifth – and sadly, the last – Dirty Harry movie with Clint Eastwood, and Hunt really stood out. I mean, it’s a classic, and Hunt just made it even better, seriously! I’ve watched it a million times!

He’s appeared on TV in a number of roles, including a recurring part on Everybody Loves Raymond, and guest appearances on shows like 24 (starring Kiefer Sutherland, who was recently arrested), Monk, Mad Men, and Castle.

In a past interview, Heaton openly talked about her marriage to Hunt, sharing the secrets to maintaining their strong relationship over many years.

She shared with Closer, reflecting on the end of ‘The Middle,’ that a happy and lasting marriage isn’t about constant bliss. Instead, it’s about the challenges you overcome together, which help you grow as a person and become more understanding.

In 2018, after their sons had grown and left home, they were reconnecting and rediscovering their relationship, much like it was before they had children, she explained.

She described a rapid series of events in the 1990s, comparing it to a tsunami. Now, she feels like they’re finally recovering and catching their breath after a difficult period, like someone struggling to shore after being caught in a wave.

Her main advice for parents was simple: just love your child. She also suggested reading books about child psychology to better understand why kids behave the way they do at different ages.

She openly admitted her errors, explaining that she wished she had encouraged them to be more self-sufficient sooner.

Heaton explained that while it’s natural to want to shield children from hardship, making mistakes is essential for learning, building character, and becoming strong and adaptable. He believes it’s important to let kids figure out their own passions, listen to their instincts, and follow their hearts.
