Thrice divorced Whoopi Goldberg, 68, admits she NEVER wanted to get married - ... trends now
Whoopi Goldberg has admitted that she never wanted to get married and revealed that she experienced an '11th hour panic' all three times she walked down the aisle - admitting that even her own mother advised her against tying the knot.
Whoopi, 68, has been wed and divorced a total of three times, with her final marriage to union organizer Lyle Trachtenberg ending in 1995, and has vowed to never get hitched again - telling her co-hosts on The View: 'Not happening!'
During Thursday's episode of the ABC show, the panel were discussing a new survey of recently married people, which found that 20 per cent got cold feet at the last minute and almost ducked out of the ceremony, when the Sister Act star admitted that she experienced it herself.
'Every single time, right?' Joy Behar joked, referring to all three of Whoopi's marriages, which included her 1973 wedding to Alvin Martin and her 1986 nuptials to cinematographer David Claessen.

Not cracking a smile, Whoopi went on to recall the moment when, shortly before she was due to wed one of her husbands, her own mother tried to convince her to flee after realizing she had cold feet.
'Yeah. My mother said to me, "Just get in the car, I can see you don't want to do this,"' she said.
'And I said, "No I don't, but I invited all these people and spent all this money and I got to go through with it" and she said, "That's dumb".
Seemingly pretending to forget how many times she has said, 'I do', Whoopi then added: 'And she was right all four... three times!' as
