Midler shared that there were no cell phones because it was the 80s, so they could not take photos as it was not as easy as it is today.

Kimmel showed audiences the throwback photo of Midler and Von Haselberg. It shows Midler in a light blue dress and Von Haselberg in a black suit with a pinkish shirt underneath.

With weddings on the brain, Midler shared the news that her daughter, Sophie Von Haselberg, had wed her fiancee during the pandemic. The wedding had 11 people in attendance because of the COVID-19 restrictions.

"They had a great time. They stayed up all night, they drank, they had a ball."

Sophie shared a photo of her special day. The photo was of her new husband pushing cake into her mouth after they had walked down the aisle.

Midler shared that she has had her two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, although she has no plans to go out or go traveling and is staying safe in her house in New York.

The "Hocus Pocus" star and Von Haselberg had been married for almost 40 years. They got married in 1984 after only knowing each other for 6 weeks.

Midler shared any important thing for a marriage is space. She shared with People that she thinks the secret to her marriage is giving each other a lot of room and not being in each other's faces all the time.
