“It just was not something he really did for you,” she said with a laugh, adding that there was “a lot of drooling” involved.
Field and Reynolds dated for five years after meeting in 1977 and were one of Hollywood’s most high-profile couples. Despite their intense relationship, Field later shared that they hadn’t spoken during the last 30 years of Reynolds’ life before he passed away in 2018.
Though fans may be surprised by the revelation, Field’s honesty offered a rare glimpse into the off-camera realities behind one of cinema’s most iconic duos.
In a 2023 Variety interview, she explained, “He was just not good for me in any way.”
Despite a difficult past, Field remains a celebrated and active actress, known for roles in Forrest Gump, Steel Magnolias, Mrs. Doubtfire, and more.
In recent years, she’s appeared in Dispatches from Elsewhere and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.
