Whoopi, 67, confirmed she is not a lesbian during an appearance on The Best Podcast Ever with Raven-Symone
Sister Act star has been married and divorced three times – but says she’s only ever loved one man .
Whoopi Goldberg has made no secret of the fact that she’s ‘much happier’ being single and has no desire to live with someone ever again, but The View host is certainly no stranger to romance.
The 67-year-old TV host has not only walked down the aisle a total of three times, she’s enjoyed some high-profile relationships with fellow actors Timothy Dalton and Ted Danson, and even had a live-in boyfriend up until 2000.
In recent years though, Whoopi has made it clear that she ‘doesn’t want to live with anybody’ and has stated that being single is her personal choice.
Commenting on the idea of entering a relationship again, Whoopi – whose real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson – said back in 2019: ‘For me, there is a commitment. When you make a commitment to someone else, it’s a commitment to ask their opinion and listen and work it out with them. I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to share money. I know it’s terrible, but I don’t want to do it.’
Speaking during the appearance on The Tamron Hall Show, she added: ‘People keep saying, “Well, you’ll find somebody”. I’m not looking for anyone. I am very happy.’
More recently, Whoopi shared her thoughts on marriage during an episode of The View and admitted she was ‘dancing and prancing’ every single time her relationships ended in divorce.
Whoopi has been divorced a total of three times, with her final marriage to union organizer Lyle Trachtenberg ending in 1995.
The Ghost actor admitted that by the time her third marriage was over, she felt it was ‘getting expensive and boring’, hinting that this is one major reason she has never said ‘I do’ again.
Speaking with her co-hosts on the ABC program on August 1, she said: ‘I was dancing and prancing around, I was so glad to get out of there! Every time! Because I always knew, I always thought, “you didn’t want to do this from the giddyap! You knew you didn’t want to do it and you did it anyway so shut up and move on!”‘
Having seemingly been single for many years now, Whoopi has been plagued by rumors regarding her sexuality and many questioned if she was a lesbian.
However, during an interview with Raven-Symoné on The Best Podcast Ever, Whoopi shut down those rumors after her former co-host told her: ‘You give me lesbian vibes!’
‘Women have been asking me this for as long as I’ve been around, I am not a lesbian. But I know lots of them, and I’ve played them on television,’ Whoopi said.
She continued: ‘But I have always had lesbian friends because they’re just my friends,’ before recalling a conversation she had with one of her pals.
I’m not gonna kiss you, but I’ll kiss you over here, I’ll do this but I’m not going to do this… And they’re like, “OK!”‘ she explained.
So, as Whoopi sets the record straight about her sexuality, DailyMail.com takes a look back at her past loves, failed romances, and everything she’s said in regard to those lesbian rumors.
