Whoopi Goldberg has no problem with an age gap, and she apparently practices what she preaches.
On Thursday, the hosts of โThe Viewโ discussed โThe Idea of You,โ an upcoming movie starring Anne Hathaway as a mom in her 40s who dates a pop star in his 20s.
Joy Behar, 81, expressed her preference for a โyounger man,โ noting that her husband is seven years her junior.
โHe drives at night, he does the heavy lifting, heโs sharp as a tack,โ she said.
But the thrice-married โSister Actโ star said that sheโs โgone up and downโ the age spectrum when it comes to romance.
โYour age is not whatโs going to get me into your arms,โ Goldberg said. โItโs not your age Iโm concerned about, unless youโre under 18.โ
And when Behar speculated that โa big gap could be problematic,โ citing a 20-year difference as one that might lead to issues, Goldberg shot back with an example from her own life.
โActually, I just have to say this to you: One of the last relationships I had, he was 40 years older than me,โ said Goldberg, 68.
โForty? Is he still alive?โ Behar exclaimed.
Goldberg responded, โMm-hmm,โ as the show cut to commercials.
The identity of her ex was not clear. However, USA Today noted that Goldbergโs account is in line with comments made by her granddaughter Amara Skye on the reality show โClaim to Fameโ in 2022.
On that show, Skye mentioned that her famous grandmother had โa boyfriend that was, like, 90 years old.โ She further described him as โsome old white man named John.โ
