Ted Danson Is Grateful He Didn’t Meet Wife Mary Steenburgen Until His 40s: ‘Thank God’ (Exclusive)
Mary Steenburgen is opening up about her long-lasting marriage to Ted Danson and, as usual, there’s something unexpected she’s sharing! On January 4, 2025, during a candid interview at the Golden Gala, Steenburgen revealed a cringe-worthy detail about her husband’s post-sex phrase. She also shared her first impressions of him before they became a couple.
Steenburgen, who has been married to Danson for nearly 30 years, confessed that she initially thought he was a “slick guy.” This perception, she admitted, was far from the truth. In fact, she was completely taken aback by his quirky side. “Slick guys don’t say, ‘gosh-a-rooni,’ after making love,” she told People, adding with a smile, “I’d like to apologize to my granddaughters for that one.”
While many couples might shy away from discussing post-intimacy words, Steenburgen’s honest and humorous reflection has drawn plenty of attention. But that’s not all she had to say about Danson. The actress praised her husband for his parenting skills, explaining how much she admires his ability to love his own daughters, Kate and Alexis, and also perfectly blend with her children, Lilly and Charlie, from her previous marriage to actor Malcolm McDowell.
“It’s pretty thrilling to go through life with Ted Danson,” Steenburgen added, highlighting the loving connection they share as a blended family.
In a recent conversation, Ted Danson admitted that he wasn’t emotionally ready for a relationship earlier in life. Reflecting on his journey, he explained how he’d been working on becoming a more emotionally mature and honest person just before he met Steenburgen in 1983. He believes their relationship wouldn’t have worked if they had met earlier, showing just how important timing can be in life.
As for the couple’s enduring love and laughter, it’s clear that their bond has only grown stronger over the years. Fans of both stars are delighted to see their genuine affection and playful moments continue to shine through, even after nearly three decades of marriage.
