Later Daters cast member Anise revealed touching final moments with her late husband during a Fox News interview on November 29, 2024. While appearing on Netflix's new dating series that premiered the same day, Anise shared how her husband passed away after a workplace accident as a public utility worker. Despite the tragic circumstances of his electrocution by 40,000 milliwatts, Anise described their last exchange in the hospital as meaningful. She stated,
“He worked for the electrical companies and he got caught. He was electrocuted, actually. But I always tell people it wasn’t. We had a beautiful goodbye…our parting words was, I said ‘children are fine and I love you’. And they told him not to speak but he did say ‘I love you’ back’”.
These were his only words after surgery, making their farewell particularly significant.
Anise from Later Daters discusses the final moments with her late husband
In her candid Fox News interview, Later Daters star Anise elaborated on the day of the accident. Her husband worked for an electrical company when he encountered a severe workplace incident.
The severity of the electrical exposure became apparent when the first two responders who touched him after he was brought down "caught on fire." However, medical teams managed to transport him to the hospital, where he underwent surgery.
"I got a chance to see him in the hospital and even when he came out of surgery," Anise shared.
She emphasized that contrary to what many expected, her husband did not die immediately at the scene. This allowed them precious final moments together.
"We had a beautiful goodbye. He didn't die upon the poll, which most people were surprised because 40,000 mw were hitting him every millisecond," she stated.
Following her husband's passing, Anise decided to further her education while raising their children alone.
“When my first husband died, I took the time to regroup, started my academic process and get my children grown.” Anise said.
The Later Daters star pursued higher studies, eventually completing her doctorate. During this period, she focused on ensuring her children's well-being, while working toward her academic goals.
Her late husband had encouraged her educational pursuits before his death, thus making this achievement particularly meaningful.
Anise's academic journey proved transformative as she balanced her roles as a student and single mother. She successfully completed her doctorate and this period marked significant professional development as she built her career while maintaining her commitment to her children's upbringing.
Anise's current participation in The Later Daters represents her step back into the dating world. The Netflix series, which began streaming on November 29, 2024, features six single baby boomers searching for love through blind dates. Dating expert Logan Ury guides these individuals through their dating experiences.
Anise's daughter, Dwayna, played a vital role in her mother's path forward after the loss. Their strong relationship became evident during their appearance on The Later Daters episode 4, which aired on November 29, 2024. During a conversation with dating coach Logan Ury, Dwayna expressed surprise at seeing a different side of her mother.
The meeting revealed how Anise's children had grown accustomed to viewing her through the lens of her strong exterior.
