The artist Bette Midler has revealed that she has been sleeping in separate beds from her husband for 40 years.

78-year-old artist Bette Midler shared the secret of her 40-year-long marriage. Midler revealed that she and her husband Martin von Haselberg have been sleeping in separate bedrooms since the beginning of their relationship.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Midler explained this situation by saying, "My husband snores." The couple got married in Las Vegas just six weeks after they met.

Midler described their marriage as a "wonderful journey." The star of the movie "Hocus Pocus" said she remembered that the decision to get married was "very sudden." The couple was married by an Elvis impersonator.

The artist explained the reason for the longevity of their marriage as follows: "We give each other a lot of space and freedom. We don't constantly nag each other." She also emphasized the importance of listening and being open to compromise.

The couple has a daughter named Sophie, born in 1986. Midler sees her daughter as her "greatest achievement," but also acknowledges her husband's significant contribution. She said, "My husband is probably the most wonderful father in the world. He took care of her while I was on tour. He taught her foreign languages and how to cook."

These statements raise curiosity about the secret of long-lasting marriages, and the famous couple's different approach stands out.
