Actress Sally Field said she doesn’t think she’ll ever get married again.
The 77-year-old two-time Academy Award winner discussed the topic on the season premiere of the “Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus” podcast, per People.
“I was never really good at picking a partner for myself,” Field said of her history. When Louis-Dreyfus asked if Field had “any interest in getting married again in your life,” the “Mrs. Doubtfire” star laughed.
“I can’t imagine,” Field replied. “It would certainly all depend on meeting somebody I wanted to spend more than 37 seconds with. And I can’t imagine that either! So I don’t know.”
The actress was married to Steven Craig from 1968 until 1975, but the pair separated in 1973. They share two sons, Peter and Eli.
Field was in a relationship with actor Burt Reynolds from 1976 until 1980, but they never married. The couple starred in several films together during that time, including “Smokey and the Bandit,” “Smokey and the Bandit II,” “The End,” and “Hooper.” They dated on and off until 1982 before splitting permanently.
The Emmy Award winner married again in 1984, this time to Alan Greisman. They had a son, Sam, in 1987. Field and Greisman divorced in 1994.
Field said some of her past relationships had “red flag[s].”
“Several people that I was dating, or around, would say, ‘Why can’t you treat me the way you treat your sons?’ ‘Uh, because you’re not my son!’” she said.

“I’ve just never been good at picking a person, a partner, to be with who would be loving and know me and not want to change me and also be challenging to me,” Field explained.
Field also discussed how motherhood changed her perspective and encouraged her to focus on herself.
“Certainly as time went on, I was mothering myself,” the “Steel Magnolias” star said. “But I was so young. I was just 23 [becoming a mother].”
She said motherhood changed her outlook. Field said of having her son Paul, “There was something in me that felt so fiercely about him that I felt, ‘If I can take care of him, I can take care of myself. And g**dammit, I’m going to take care of him. I don’t care if I go down.’ So it started to connect with a fierceness in me that I didn’t recognize.”
