    Ryan O’Neal, 68, and Farrah Fawcett, 62, have been together for 25 years, but the Love Story star admits that getting her to accept the proposal took a lot of attempts.

    “I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed,” O’Neal tells Barbara Walters for 20/20.

    Fawcett was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer that has spread to her liver. The “Charlie’s Angels” star and O’Neal have a 24-year-old son, Redmond. Latest news the actress has been back to hospital.

    “We will [wed] as soon as she can say, ‘Yes.’ Maybe we can just nod her head,” he says. “I promise you we will…absolutely.”

    O’Neal said that they used to joke about married, he says,”I used to ask her to marry me all the time, but…it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it.”

    They continue joking as they discuss what they’ll wear on the big day. O’Neal plans to dress “like a gigolo,” with “a thin mustache and slicked-back hair.”

    “I know this, that in the last two years I loved her more than I’ve ever loved her—ever,” he told last month. “She’s so much more of a woman and a powerful, courageous, fearless…all those adjectives. And I look at her with awe.”

    Better late than not, hopefully this wedding could bring more spirit to both of them to fight their illness.
