Many of the hosts of The View are married. In fact, Alyssa Farah Griffin is on maternity leave after welcoming a baby with her husband. But not Whoopi Goldberg. She’s single and ready to mingle. Even if that means going bar hopping to find “hit and run” casual s*x. Keep reading for more on her shocking confession.
The View Hosts Discuss Being Single
Few topics are off-limits on The View. During Wednesday’s episode of the ABC talk show, Whoopi Goldberg brought a hot topic to the table: Is it wrong for people in a relationship to miss being single? The topic came up after she read an article in Cosmo about a woman who confessed to missing the single life, specifically the days of bar hopping and casual s*x.
Joy Behar asked Whoopi Goldberg if she misses “those days.” The moderator replied that she is single, as the actress has been divorced three times. None of the marriages lasted very long. She was married to her first husband, Alvin Martin, from 1973 until 1979.
The Ghost star’s second marriage to David Claessen lasted two years. Whoopi Goldberg’s third marriage to Lyle Trachtenberg only lasted a year. She has also had several high-profile romances, most notably with Cheers star Ted Danson.

Whoopi Goldberg, 70, Admits To Bar Hopping For Casual S*x
Whoopi Goldberg has made it clear that she doesn’t want to get married again. She admitted on The View that she goes to bars to find casual s*x. “Yeah, I bar hop, I go hang! I do hit and runs when I need it!” she said.
The Oscar-winning actress previously said, “I like a hit and run, because I am not interested in a committed relationship.” Last year, Whoopi Goldberg confirmed a shocking claim her granddaughter made on Claim to Fame. Her granddaughter said that Whoopi Goldberg dated a billionaire twice her age in the 1990s.
The View host confirmed it, admitting the mystery man was 40 years older than she was when they dated.
