While promoting her new memoir, Middle of the Rainbow, the 93-year-old star told Fox News Digital that she and Daniels struggled as a couple after getting married in 1951.
She added that the “lack of commitment” in their marriage was “not good.”
Daniels and Bartlett tied the knot in 1951. In 1986, the duo made history by winning Emmy Awards for their performance in the drama series St. Elsewhere on the same night.
William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett’s relationship explored
William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett currently reside in a house in southern California. While speaking with Forbes in May 2022, the Boy Meets World star revealed that he “confidently” asked out Bartlett while the two were studying together at Northwestern University.
They have been inseparable ever since. As per Fox News Digital, in her new book, Bonnie Bartlett shared that she “never felt guilty” about their open marriage because she and William “never felt tied to fidelity.”
The Golden Girls star herself was entangled in an affair with a “slightly boring” actor sometime around 1959, which “lasted a few months.” However, her take on open marriage changed after her husband’s affair with a New York-based producer in the 1970s left her “devastated.”
Bartlett stated afterward that she could “no longer tolerate any kind of open marriage.”
Bonnie Bartlett and William Daniels worked on their broken relationship “day by day.”
Bartlett stated that the two were able to mend their relationship as they grew up and evolved together.
She also added:
Bonnie Bartlett and William Daniels are parents to two sons, Michael and Robert. The former was born in 1964 and is an assistant director and stage manager in Los Angeles. Robert, born in 1966, is based in New York and is a computer graphics designer.
