Like his TV character, "Single Guy" Jonathan Silverman has some serious love life problems.
The 29-year-old bachelor is absolutely smitten with gorgeous country songbird Annalee. But the couple can't set up their own love nest because he's allergic to her two cats!
"Annalee's at my house all the time," the sitcom star told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive interview.
"But we can't live together because I'm terribly allergic to her cats.
"I can't even eat dinner at Annalee's place because my eyes start to water and I get the sniffles after only 15 minutes with those cats.
"Although Annalee and I can't live together, I do have a roommate -- a golden cocker spaniel puppy named Hank.
"Thankfully, Annalee is NOT allergic to Hank."
The lovebirds met two years ago on a baseball diamond at a charity softball game.
"But there's still no diamond on her finger," Silverman joked. "Seriously, we both agree it's too soon to walk down the aisle. I'm too focused on my series and Annalee, is too heavily involved in her music career to start planning a wedding."
If the couple do tie the knot, "Friends" star David Schwimmer -- Silverman's best pal since he was 14 -- is in the running to be best man.
Despite his TV success, Silverman shies away from the Hollywood limelight because he was deeply shaken by actress Rebecca Schaeffer's brutal murder.
"I dated Rebecca when I was only 19," he revealed.
"I was working on a film with Mark Harmon. He and his wife Pam Dawber -- who was co-starring with Rebecca on 'My Sister Sam' -- thought we might make a cute couple. So they set us up.
"Our friendship lasted until she was shot to death in her doorway a crazed fan in 1989.
"It'd horrifying to think that Rebecca is no longer alive simply because her career made her face recognizable to millions of complete strangers, including the one who took her life.
"Tragedies like that have helped me appreciate the good times - and right now I can't think of a single thing I'd want to change."
