William Daniels, the 99-year-old actor renowned for his roles in ‘Boy Meets World,’ ‘Knight Rider,’ ‘The Blue Lagoon,’ and more, has had the unconventional happily ever after that Hollywood has perhaps rarely heard of. His wife, Bonnie Bartlett, revealed that they once had an open marriage at the beginning, with no rules and no discussion.
William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett’s no pact
Bartlett had previously remarked in her 2023 memoir that they both had another partner by their side at times. As the note hit the streets, the buzz created gasps and conversations between the fans. Expressing about the marital situation after three years, she said, “There was never any discussion as to what we were going to do, but in 75 years, the two of you together, you know, it would be abnormal if you … weren’t attracted occasionally to other people,” during an interview with Daily Mail.She shared that the married couple never discussed the arrangements or made rules about how to live their lives together. “We never sit down and talk about these things. We just don’t. We just live our lives. And if he’s away for a year, he’s away for a year,” the 96-year-old said, adding that they never went ‘unhinged’ but surely went in different directions.

William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett will be celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on June 20, 2026. While the actor noted that he would not have anyone else beside him to celebrate the milestone, she said that people do not usually plan for such a high number, but the ride was amazing during the interview with the outlet. Previously, Bartlett had revisited the devastating moment about the actor’s affair, realising that she could not handle any more open marriage, according to Page Six. She also confessed to being with another ‘boring’ actor, who lasted a couple of months after being married for eight years.
