Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to interviews, and she's tackled several topics relating to her work life and personal life over the years. However, her granddaughter, Amara Skye Dean, revealed a secret about her grandmother's dating life in an episode of "Claim to Fame" when she spoke about a much older man her grandmother allegedly had a relationship with.
"She had a boyfriend that was, like, 90 years old, and she used to go hang out with him. Some old white man named John, and he was like a billionaire," she confessed on "Claim to Fame" (via ET Canada). "She used to sneak off and have [sex] appointments, randomly." It's safe to assume Goldberg didn't give the go-ahead to her granddaughter for sharing such private affairs on a public platform — which Amara later acknowledged.
"No one knew about that — I barely found out about that," Amara said (via USA Today). "So I was just like, 'Oh, man. I think I just put my grandma's business out there, and I don't really know if she's going to be OK with this.' But my grandma's really, really cool and pretty open. So, I don't think I did so bad."
