Whoopi Goldberg first rose to fame as Celie in the 1985 movie, The Color Purple, and her career has skyrocketed since then as she has starred in films including Sister Act, Sister Act 2, and The Lion King. While Whoopi has had quite an illustrious career, she’s also had many relationships throughout her life, including three marriages – all of which ended in divorce. While Whoopi has only been in three marriages, she has been in relationships with others, most notably, Ted Danson from 1992 to 1994 and Frank Langella from 1996 to 2001.

Despite being married three times, Whoopi revealed in a 2016 interview with the New York Times that she’s only been in love once. She also explained that she’s “not interested” in marriage. “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,” Whoopi admitted.
