In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bette Midler shared insights into her nearly 40-year marriage to Martin von Haselberg, revealing that the couple has always maintained separate bedrooms. Despite this unconventional arrangement, Midler described their relationship as "a fabulous ride." The couple, who married in December 1984 after a brief six-week courtship, have one daughter, Sophie von Haselberg. Midler also reflected on her initial resistance to her daughter pursuing a career in acting.
