Whoopi Goldberg Reveals Shocking Romance with Man 40 Years older than her

Whoopi Goldberg has no problem with an age gap, and she apparently practices what she preaches.

On Thursday, the hosts of โ€œThe Viewโ€ discussed โ€œThe 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 โ€œyounger man,โ€ noting that her husband is seven years her junior.

โ€œHe drives at night, he does the heavy lifting, heโ€™s sharp as a tack,โ€ she said.

But the thrice-married โ€œSister Actโ€ star said that sheโ€™s โ€œgone up and downโ€ the age spectrum when it comes to romance.

โ€œYour age is not whatโ€™s going to get me into your arms,โ€ Goldberg said. โ€œItโ€™s not your age Iโ€™m concerned about, unless youโ€™re under 18.โ€

And when Behar speculated that โ€œa 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.

โ€œActually, 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.

โ€œForty? Is he still alive?โ€ Behar exclaimed.

Goldberg responded, โ€œMm-hmm,โ€ as the show cut to commercials.

The identity of her ex was not clear. However, USA Today noted that Goldbergโ€™s account is in line with comments made by her granddaughter Amara Skye on the reality show โ€œClaim to Fameโ€ in 2022.

On that show, Skye mentioned that her famous grandmother had โ€œa boyfriend that was, like, 90 years old.โ€ She further described him as โ€œsome old white man named John.โ€
