The host said, "In all candor, the show that I left was not the show that I loved." Even before Bergeron was informed of his departure, he said he cleared his dressing room on the last day of the season without knowing it would be his last time hosting the show.

Therefore, when the news finally came, Bergeron was already emotionally prepared. He added, "Actually, I think Erin and I had more fun being fired than virtually anybody."

Tom and Lois Bergeron’s Love Story

Like most of his life, Bergeron has kept his relationship out of the media and only mentions his wife once in a while. The couple married in 1982 and share two children.

In 1990, Bergeron and his wife expanded their family and had another daughter, Samantha. But before building his beautiful family, Lois gave him an ultimatum.

The TV host confessed that he had a lot of anger issues. His anger was usually directed at objects, so he would punch into walls and cover them with posters.

But one day, something came over him again, and this time, he punched a car. Lois told him that he needed to work on his anger before they could even begin planning a future together.

During one of his interviews, the father of two credited his wife for helping him address his anger problems, and in 2017, he proudly said, "I have not damaged any sheetrock in 35 years..."

That was not the only big thing Lois had done in his life. When the "Hollywood Squares" star lost his father in 2015, his wife broke the news to him.

When the call came, he remembered being in his "Dancing with the Stars" dressing room. Bergeron's father was 81 when he passed, and the host dedicated one of the episodes to him and proudly revealed that his father never missed an episode.

With over four decades of marriage, the game show host still does not see life without his wife. He is confident that they are better together than alone.

Despite how private he is about his marriage, Bergeron shares a few family moments with his wife and family. In one photo, Lois appeared in the background along with their two daughters and other family members.

The father of two also shared a glimpse of their family vacation with everyone posing on a boat. This time he also included a few pictures with his wife, and one has them smiling with Bergeron's arm around Lois. He captioned the carousel, "A perfect family day on the ocean."
