Did you know actress Kat Dennings lived by a memorable quote from Whoopi Goldberg before finding her love with musician Andrew W.K.? The quote is – “one that perfectly captured her feelings about relationships and marriage”.
During her recent appearance on The View, while promoting her upcoming sitcom ‘Shifting Gears,’ Dennings opened up about her evolving perspective on love, relationships, and sharing her personal space.
She reflected on her pre-marriage years and candidly described her dating life as a “nightmare.” Even after experiencing a few long-term relationships and dipping her toes into the chaotic world of dating, nothing seemed to align with her vision of happiness. It was during this phase that Whoopi Goldberg’s famous quote, “I don’t want somebody in my house,” became her only life mantra.
“I looked it up again before coming here, just to double-check. And yes, that’s it,” Dennings said with a laugh, while co-host Sara Haines said, “Definitely nailed it.”
Goldberg’s words resonated deeply with Dennings, reflecting her need for independence and her hesitation toward the idea of sharing her life and home with someone else. But everything changed when she met Andrew W.K.
“Those were my feelings towards marriage in general until I met my husband,” Dennings agreed. “And now I like him in my house. I want him in my house!” she added humorously, drawing laughter from the panel.
The ‘Two Broke Girls’ star married the rock musician in 2023, and it’s clear that her love story has rewritten her once-firmly held beliefs about relationships.
Kat Dennings’ journey from embracing independence to welcoming love into her life serves as a refreshing reminder that the right person can truly shift perspectives even when they’re shaped by an iconic Whoopi Goldberg quote.
