Bette Midler Shares Shocking Secret To Lasting Marriage

She is one of the most successful and timeless actresses in Hollywood. Bette Midler has been in hit films including The Rose, Beaches, Hocus Pocus, The First Wives Club, and more. Additionally, she has had a plethora of hit songs that have earned her many accolades and awards. Recently, she has noted that she would love to join RHOBH on Bravo. The cast was all for it but as to how serious she was, Bette claims that it was just a joke. However, she does maintain she likes the idea of fighting and getting paid for it. She also tweeted out to Abbott Elementary so she could receive a lot of offers through her love of tweeting and television.

In her real life, the actress wed her husband, Martin von Haselberg, in late 1984 after just six weeks. Who knew if that could possibly last but they did welcome a daughter, Sophie von Haselberg, two years later. Now, Bette is sharing the shocking secret of her long-lasting marriage. According to Page Six, the couple sleeps in separate bedrooms. Bette explained that her husband is a snorer. Though it has been amazing, this has been the arrangement since the beginning of their courtship.

The two tied the knot in Las Vegas which was on a whim and Bette Midler had no clue it would go for forty years. Back in 2014, Bette had this to say about the success of her marriage:

“I think the secret is giving each other a lot of lead and a lot of room and not being in each other’s faces all the time.”

She has also praised Martin as an amazing father to their daughter, especially while Bette has been off working:

“My husband is probably the greatest father who ever lived. He’s fantastic. He picked up the slack when I was on the road. He taught her a foreign language. He taught her to cook.”

Yet, they are not the only couple who have adopted the idea of sleeping separately to keep their marriage functioning and happy.

Other Couples Swear By This

Bette Midler and Martin von Haselberg have made it forty years in separate rooms so who else is doing the same? The Voice host Carson Daly and his wife, Siri Pinter engage in a “sleep divorce.” Most nights, they sleep apart but do come back together on those they feel like it. It started when she was pregnant with their fourth child and has seemingly worked ever since.

Shark Tank’s Babara Corcoran does the same with her husband and it has been going on as long as Bette and Martin. Finally, Cameron Diaz has said she would love to have her own house and husband, Benji Madden have his.
