In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the iconic actress opened up about her nearly 40-year marriage to husband Martin von Haselberg and explained why the duo has never slept in the same bedroom.
“My husband snores,” the “Hocus Pocus” star said after revealing the two have always slept separately.

Despite the non-traditional approach, Midler said her marriage has proven to be “a fabulous ride.”
The duo, who tied the knot in December 1984 in Las Vegas after six weeks of dating, share daughter Sophie von Haselberg.
In her upcoming film, “The Fabulous Four,” Midler shares the screen with Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally, as well as her daughter Sophie.
“I made a terrible mistake by saying, ‘If you go into show business, I’ll kill you.’ And she took it very much to heart.”

“I was more than averse [to letting her go into acting],” Midler said of her daughter’s aspirations to be an actress. “I was frightened for her, and she was just a little girl. I made a terrible mistake by saying, ‘If you go into show business, I’ll kill you.’ And she took it very much to heart. She’s brilliant. She’s great. She’s the love of my life.”
