Bette Midler shared the key to her long-lasting marriage with fans in a recent interview, and the solution is a lot simpler than you may think.
While chatting with Entertainment Tonight about her upcoming comedy, The Fabulous Four, in an article published on Thursday, July 25, Midler, known for her candid and humorous nature, revealed an unconventional yet simple secret to her 40-year marriage: sleeping separately.
As Midler nears her 40th wedding anniversary, she reflected on what has kept her and her husband's, Martin von Haselberg, relationship strong over the years. "Separate bedrooms," she said with a smile. "My husband snores." She explained that from the very beginning of their relationship, they have slept in different rooms, which she believes has contributed to their happy marriage. "It's been a fabulous ride," the Hocus Pocus actress added.
Midler, 78, and von Haselberg's love story began with a rather whirlwind romance – tying the knot on December 16, 1984 after only six weeks of dating. Their wedding was a spontaneous affair, held in a small chapel in Las Vegas. Midler humorously recalled in the interview that she chose "the first thing on the rack" for her wedding dress, adding to the impromptu charm of their nuptials. The couple has one daughter together named Sophie who was born in 1986. Sophie has followed in her famous mother's footsteps, pursuing a career in acting and even working alongside her in The Fabulous Four.
Midler recently made headlines with her comments about the Secret Service following an attempted assassination on former president Donald Trump. She took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share her thoughts, writing, "Head of Secret Service resigns, and out the door reminds her interlocutors that security agents did not deem the shooter a threat [because] the rifle range finder he was carrying was 'not a prohibited item.' GET IT? You can't have it both ways. Give them guns and someone will get shot." Midler, a vocal advocate for gun control, used the incident to highlight the dangers of lax security measures and the consequences of widespread firearm access.
