Nicollette Sheridan Credits Grandmother With Michael Bolton Matchmaking  5/21/08

Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan rekindled her relationship with Michael Bolton because her grandmother convinced her he was the right man for her.

The actress dated the singer for five years from 1992, before splitting up. They got back together in 2006, and subsequently got engaged. And Sheridan believes her late grandmother played a crucial role in convincing her to date Bolton once more.

She says, "My dear grandmother, whom I called Nanny, recognized the love we had for one another and, during the time we were apart, she could never resist saying, 'Have you spoken to Michael? He does love you, you know'.

"By the time we got back together, Nanny had died, but maybe she was part of the universe conspiring. And I do sort of believe that. I must say, the way things went down and the fact that this was what she always wanted does make me sort of believe that she had a hand in it."
