Ted Danson had an affair with Whoopi during his long-term marriage to Casey Coates. This made headlines in the early 90s because his wife was disabled and because the $30 million divorce settlement was huge at the time.
He had no time for a long-term relationship with Whoopi, as he’s been with Mary Steenburgen since the early 90s.
He’s been married 3 times, since the early 70s, so not sure when there would be time for a 4th long-term marriage.
Diane was wise to not Mary Sam Malone (Ted Danson on Cheers).
I never ever understood the connection between Danson and Whoopi. She must have something but it isn’t beauty or charm. They did a movie together where they were lovers, if I recall. Still not believable.
