Whoopi Goldberg On Why She's Not Meant For Marriage: 'I Don't Care How You Feel'
Whoopi Goldberg believes she isn’t meant to be married, and she has a good idea why.
On Friday’s episode of “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” the thrice-divorced actor and comedian elaborated on some of her previous remarks about being ill-suited to married life.
“Why are you not meant for marriage?” host Chris Wallace asked. “You don’t want to share?”
“No, I don’t,” Goldberg said. “I don’t care how you feel. I mean, it’s terrible. You know, when you’re married to somebody, you have to be invested in how they’re feeling.”
“Absolutely,” Wallace agreed, to which Goldberg responded with a laugh, “I am not.”
The “Sister Act” star clarified that she does care deeply about the feelings of some people ― just not a potential spouse.
“I’m invested in my kid, I’m invested in her kids, I’m invested in my son-in-law, I’m invested in my friends, but I am not invested in a relationship that would require as much as having a child requires,” she said. “And I know that that’s not for me.”
When it comes to affairs of the heart, Goldberg said she’s not averse to “hit-and-runs.”
In March, the 68-year-old revealed to her co-hosts on “The View” that her most recent relationship was with a man 40 years her senior.
As Wallace noted, Goldberg has spoken multiple times in the past about the realization that she and marriage are not a match. In 2016, she famously told The New York Times Magazine, “I don’t want somebody in my house.”
