Ted Danson Reflects on Relationship with Mary Steenburgen

In a recent interview, Ted Danson expressed gratitude for meeting his wife Mary Steenburgen later in life, believing their relationship wouldn't have succeeded if they had met earlier. The 76-year-old actor reflected on his emotional immaturity in his youth, stating, 'I was not really fully emotionally baked until shortly before I met Mary.' Danson dedicated himself to personal growth a year before they met, which he feels played a crucial role in their connection. The couple, who met during an audition in 1983 and married in 1995, have both experienced previous marriages and share four children. Danson emphasized that Steenburgen's support has been instrumental in overcoming his self-doubt, saying, 'Whenever I become self-deprecating... she lovingly goes, 'Snap out of it.' The couple continues to thrive in their relationship, showcasing the benefits of emotional maturity and timing.
