In a recent, eye-opening episode of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg, 68, made a startling revelation about her love life that has since sparked a frenzy of curiosity and surprise among the public. The discussion—originally centered around public reactions to Anne Hathaway’s new film “The Idea of You”—unexpectedly veered toward the fact that Goldberg once dated a man significantly older than her.
Initially, all the co-hosts of the popular show began talking about society’s disposition when it comes to the presence of vast age gaps in relationships. They did so by referring to the fact that in the film, Hathaway’s character is a mom in her 40s who is in a relationship with a young musician in his 20s.

As the dialogue progressed, Goldberg candidly expressed her indifference towards age differences in romantic relationships, stating, “Well, I’ve gone up and down—I go—you know I go from here to here. Because I’m not—I’m not, you know—your age is not what’s going to get me into your arms. It’s not your age that I’m concerned about, unless you’re under 18, in which case, I can’t.”
Goldberg then made an even more astonishing admission, disclosing, “Actually, I’m just gonna say this to you. One of the last relationships I had, he was 40 years older than me.” This bombshell left viewers and social media users abuzz, prompting a wave of bewildered and intrigued responses across online platforms.
