When it comes to matters of the heart, Whoopi Goldberg isn’t exactly one to overthink things. In a candid moment on The View, the legendary talk show host spilled the tea about her approach to love, sex, and relationships, sharing what really matters to her in a partner.
Whoopi Talks About Her Take on Intimacy
Whoopi, who turned 68 this year, dove into a revealing discussion about her personal life during an episode of The View. It all started with the panel discussing a recent article that suggested a link between being "good in bed" and having a touch of narcissism. While some might find that idea alarming, Whoopi brushed it off, saying she doesn’t sweat whether her partner is a little self-absorbed.
In her signature no-nonsense style, Whoopi joked, “Listen, a good hit-and-run is a good hit-and-run. Ninety percent of the time, I’m not there for conversation. I’m there for the experience, and that’s all that matters to me.” She made it crystal clear that, for her, it’s all about the moment and enjoying the company of someone who knows how to make it special.

Joy Behar Joins the Conversation
Whoopi’s co-host, Joy Behar, couldn’t help but chime in with her own thoughts. At 81 years young, Joy offered a witty perspective on the topic, saying, “One man is not enough for most women. We need two guys: we need a narcissist who is great in the sack, and a man who is able to take out the garbage. I don’t mind having a narcissist, but I’m not going to marry them. They’re great for a night, though.”
Joy’s take resonated with many viewers, highlighting the importance of balance in relationships. She pointed out that while some traits might make for a fun night, they’re not necessarily what you want in a long-term partner.
Whoopi’s Journey Through Marriage
Whoopi has been down the aisle three times, tying the knot with Alvin Martin, David Claessen, and Lyle Trachtenberg. Despite her past experiences, she’s made it clear that marriage isn’t something she’s particularly eager to revisit. Meanwhile, Joy has found her happily-ever-after with Steve Janowitz, whom she married in 2011.
Whoopi humorously added, “You know, if you get an electronic partner, you don’t have to worry about any of that. They’re good when the batteries work, and they’re not when the batteries are out.” Her lighthearted comment drew laughter from the audience and her co-hosts.
For the star of Sister Act, the idea of walking down the aisle a fourth time doesn’t exactly excite her. During an August 2023 episode of The View, she confessed, “I was dancing and prancing, I was so glad to get out of there. Every time.” She went on to explain that she always knew deep down that marriage wasn’t something she truly wanted. “You didn’t want to do this from the get-go, and you did it anyway, so shut up and move on,” she joked.
Why Did Whoopi Marry Three Times?
Her co-stars have often wondered why Whoopi, who seems so unenthused about marriage, chose to tie the knot three times. In her usual candid manner, she reflected, “I thought I could make a round hole fit into a square peg. I thought that was what was meant for me.”

Whoopi later admitted that societal pressures played a big role in her decision to get married in the past. “I kept doing what everyone kept saying I was supposed to do,” she explained. “And then I was like — this is getting expensive and boring.” Her honesty about her experiences has resonated with many, showing that even someone as successful as Whoopi isn’t immune to the pressures of societal expectations.
