Given Redmond O’Neal’s struggles with addiction and Farrah Fawcett’s cancer battle, it’s difficult to imagine how she found time for a secret romance. However, car wash owner Greg Lott begs to differ. He claims they had a tryst at the University of Texas, reignited the spark in 1998, and forged a romance that lasted until the actor’s death. “Farrah Fawcett and I reunited … in a relationship, a loving, consensual, one-on-one relationship,” Lott told ABC News. “No other boyfriends. No other girlfriends,” he insisted.
Ryan and Fawcett were photographed together regularly and he was right by Fawcett’s side until her last breath, sleeping “in a cot” next to her hospital bed. “The night before she died, he was talking and talking, leading up to the story of when he first met Farrah,” Fawcett’s friend told People. “It was his way of telling her how much he loved her. She looked over at me and rolled her eyes, and then she smiled.”

So, where was Lott at the time? “O’Neal kept me from seeing the love of my life before she died,” he told ABC. The former UT footballer showed off evidence backing up his relationship claims, including what he says are handwritten love letters and some old photos of them. “Photos [of Ryan and Fawcett] don’t make a relationship,” Lott charged, although, presumably, his do. “I know what I had with her. He didn’t have that. He blew it.”
