Whoopi Goldberg, the famous EGOT winner, recently spoke about her relaxed attitude towards dating people of different ages. During a discussion on "The View" about age gaps in relationships, the 68-year-old actress shared some personal insights about her own love life. The topic was sparked by the upcoming movie "The Idea of You," which follows a 40-year-old woman's romance with a 24-year-old singer.
As the co-hosts talked about their own experiences with age gaps, Sunny Hostin mentioned that most of them had married younger men. But it was Goldberg's confession that caught everyone's attention. She revealed, "I've had relationships with people of all ages. What matters to me is not your age, unless you're under 18, of course."
Joy Behar chimed in, acknowledging the potential issues with large age differences in relationships. This prompted Goldberg to share about her most recent partner, who had a significant age gap with her. "He was 40 years older than me," she admitted.
When asked if her ex was still alive, Goldberg nodded and mouthed "Mhmm" before cutting to a commercial break. According to calculations, her ex would be around 108 years old today. This revelation came after Goldberg's granddaughter, Amara Skye, revealed on the reality show "Claim to Fame" that her grandmother had previously dated a billionaire in his 90s. It's likely that the man in his 90s and the one with a 40-year age gap are the same person.
Goldberg has been married three times in the past. Her ex-husbands include Alvin Martin, a drug counselor, Dutch cinematographer David Claessen, and actor Lyle Trachtenberg. In August 2023, she also addressed speculations about her sexuality, sparked by actress Raven-Symoné's comment about "lesbian vibes" from Goldberg.
"I am not a lesbian," Goldberg clarified. "I have many lesbian friends, and I've played lesbian characters on TV, but I am not one. However, I have always had lesbian friends because they are just my friends."
She also shared how far she's willing to go with her lesbian friends, saying, "I'll kiss them on the cheek or hug them, but I won't do anything more than that." Goldberg emphasized the importance of boundaries and respect in any kind of relationship.
In other news, Goldberg recently made headlines for throwing shade at her co-hosts on "The View" for passing notes on air. She jokingly said, "I'm just trying to do our job here," revealing her playful and laid-back personality. Despite her successful career and busy schedule, Goldberg remains down-to-earth and unapologetically herself.
