This comes a year after Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, revealed she's been in a relationship with her assistant for the past two decades.

In an excerpt from The Advocate, Peterson recalled that 'when I was doing my preworkout warm-up on the treadmill, I couldn't help noticing one particular trainer...stalking across the gym floor, knit cap pulled so low over his long brown hair that it nearly covered his eyes.'
The television personality spared no details when describing the first impression that her now-partner made on everyone in the fitness center.
'Dark and brooding, he gave off such intense energy that when he crossed the enormous gym floor, the waters parted and people stopped in their tracks to stare,' she wrote.

However, the two later encountered each other in one of the workout center's restrooms, where the actress realized that her 'bad boy' was in actuality a 'bad girl.'
At the time, Peterson was married to signer-turned-manager Mark Pierson, who she wed in 1981 and shares a daughter named Sadie with.
When their relationship came to a close in 2003, it was Wierson who was there to comfort Elvira.
Things became romantic after Teresa - who the star affectionately calls 'T' - split with her own partner.
'There on the doorstep stood my trainer, T, holding a trash bag full of her belongings, looking sad and bedraggled.

'She'd split from her longtime partner, spent some time in rehab, and now had no place to go,' Elvira recalled.
They began living together when things started to get romantic.
Noticing her urge to kiss T, Elvira said she was 'surprised.'
'What the hell was I doing? I'd never been interested in women as anything other than friends...I was stunned that I'd been friends with her for so many years and never noticed our chemistry,' she said.

Wierson has since served as Peterson's assistant, and the actress noted that she could not be happier with regard to her love life.
'For the first time in my life, I'm with someone who makes me feel safe, blessed, and truly loved,' she wrote.
