Bette Midler ‘THE SECRET TO MY 37-YEAR MARRIAGE!'

Bette Midler and Martin von Haselberg have managed to achieve one of the rarest things in Hollywood – a long-lasting marriage. But their chances didn’t look good when they spontaneously eloped to Las Vegas in 1984 – just six weeks after they met!

“I asked him,” says Bette of the spur-ofthe moment decision. “My wedding was two people – my husband and me – and, of course, the Elvis impersonator that married us.”

But while they’ve managed to beat the odds, Bette says their 37-year union hasn’t always been blissful.

“We used to fight bitterly,” admits the 75-year-old Golden Globe winner, who credits the arrival of their only child Sophie in 1986 for forcing them to fix their relationship issues.

“We came to the conclusion that we wanted to raise a child. We never wanted to hurt that kid in any way,” says Bette. “[So] we stayed together until it got better, and it did.”
