Gloria Loring was Don Diamont’s first colleague who crossed over into his real life. According to Who’s Dated Who, the “Days of Our Lives” co-stars dated from 1985 until 1986. Diamont was 22, while Loring was 38. They started dating shortly after she separated from her ex-husband, the late Alan Thicke, per People. As mentioned in the TV Insider interview, Diamont reflected on his relationship with Loring in his memoir — five years after Loring wrote her own, entitled, “Coincidence is God’s Way of Remaining Anonymous.”
During a chat with Smashing Interviews, Loring shared some endearing memories from their past relationship, noting, “He was so special because he came into my life at a point where I was feeling quite emotionally fragile even though I was supposedly a star on television.” She continued, “Donald came in and was so loving and so strict with my sons about how they spoke to me and how they treated me.”

Loring also revealed that, prior to meeting Diamont, her sons didn’t really respect her. “That was an issue. Donald read them the riot act when he was in my home. He’d say, ‘Excuse me, do you know who you’re talking to?’ They didn’t like it, of course, because they’d think, ‘Who are you?’ But it did change things. It changed the way I saw myself.” Loring also described Diamont as “a wonderful person.”
