Whoopi Goldberg is “in touch” with all of her exes.
The EGOT-winning actor — who has daughter Alex from her marriage to Alvin Martin and was also previously married to cinematographer David Claessen and actor Lyle Trachtenberg — will always be “respectful” toward her former partners because they were once close. However, that doesn’t mean she socializes very much with them.
“I’m in touch with all of my exes. I’m in touch with every one of them because once they were my friends. It doesn’t mean that we talk all the time, but I will be respectful enough for you,” Goldberg explained to her cohosts on “The View.”
“I don’t have to sleep with you, I don’t have to eat with you — I don’t have to do any of those things that a relationship forces,” she stated. “But I can be [friendly] because there’s nobody that I’ve lived with or messed with that I absolutely hate.”
The Ghost star previously insisted she was “not that interested” in getting married again because she enjoys living alone.
“I’m much happier on my own. I can spend as much time with somebody as I want to spend, but I’m not looking to be with somebody forever or live with someone. I don’t want somebody in my house” she told the New York Times Magazine.
But life alone can lead to some mishaps. Goldberg admitted earlier this year she’d accidentally eaten cat treats after mistaking them for pretzels.
“I got home. Perhaps I was a little more jet-lagged than I realized. I was not high; I had nothing to drink. It is two in the morning, and there are these wonderful pretzels called Dot’s Pretzels, which I love. So sometimes you know when you get a bag of Dot’s Pretzels, they’re broken in half,” Goldberg recounted on “The View.”
“So my kid decided that she was to leave some cat treats on the other side of my bag so that, if the cat wanted some treats, she could get up there and get some because I wasn’t going to get up. But this daughter of mine put a bag of the cat treats … right next to the Dot’s! So 2 a.m., you know what’s coming …” Goldberg continued.
“I reach over, and I pour some Dot’s in my hand and I put ‘em in my mouth. I’m chewing. [These may be] a little stale!” she said.
“No, no. I just poured some more in because maybe I thought, you know, bed mouth. You know, because sometimes you wake up and you got something in your mouth and you’re, like, ‘Who is this?’ ” the comic continued with her tale.
“So, I pour some more. ‘Why do these taste so bad?’ My eye finally kind of opened a little bit, and in my hand was the crabby -flavored Temptations!” Goldberg replied when asked if she thought they were simply a new flavor.
