In a 2016 interview with The New York Times, Goldberg released his take on relationships: “I’m much happier with myself. I can spend as much time with someone as I want, but I don’t want to be with someone forever or live with someone. I don’t want someone in my house .”

Dennings admitted it “was her feelings about marriage in general,” but said her perspective changed after she met her husband — who, it turns out, is welcome in her house.

Goldberg, a comedian, actor, author, EGOT winner and woman known for speaking her mind, had also made waves in December with another honest admission.

“For me, I like a hit-and-run,” Goldberg said. “I like a hit-and-run because I’m not interested in a committed relationship.”
