Whoopi Goldberg is "in touch" with all of her exes. The 68-year-old actress - who has daughter Alex, 51, from her marriage to Alvin Martin and was also previously married to cinematographer David Claessen and actor Lyle Trachtenberg - will always be "respectful" towards her former partners because they were once close, but that doesn't mean she socialises very much with them. Speaking on 'The View', she told her co-hosts: "I'm in touch with all of my exes.

"I'm in touch with every one of them, because once they were my friends. It doesn't mean that we talk all the time, but I will be respectful enough for you. "I don't have to sleep with you, I don't have to eat with you — I don't have to do any of those things that a relationship forces.

But I can be [friendly], because there's nobody that I've lived with or messed with that I absolutely hate." The 'Ghost' star previously insisted she was "not that interested" in getting married again because she enjoys living alone. She told the New York Times magazine: "I'm much happier on my own.

"I can spend as much time with somebody as I want to spend, but I'm not looking to be with somebody forever or live with someone. I don't want somebody in my house." But life alone can lead to some mishaps and Whoopi admitted earlier this year she'd accidentally eaten cat treats after mistaking them for pretzels.

She said on 'The View': "I got home. Perhaps I was a little more jet lagged than I realised. I was not high.

I had nothing to drink. .
