Mary Steenburgen Looks ‘Gorgeous’ at 70 — Her Husband of 27 Years Tells Her She’s Beautiful ‘Every Single Day’

• Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen almost never became a couple because they shared some doubts about getting into a relationship.
• However, when the actors eventually married, Danson revealed that he finally knew what love was and gushed over his wife.
• The two stars now live a quiet life where they focus on their children and grandchildren.

Mary Steenburgen first met her husband, Ted Danson, in 1983 when he auditioned for the role of her spouse in the movie "Cross Creek." However, he failed to land the part, and despite his disappointment, he managed to win Steenburgen's heart later on.

The pair couldn't pursue a relationship at the time because they were both married to other people, and Danson admitted he was quite a mess back then. Steenburgen also believed it just wasn't their moment.

However, in 1993, when both were single and had sworn off dating, they were cast together in "Pontiac Moon." The "Mr. Mayor" star had just finalized his divorce from his second wife, Casey Coates—with whom he shares daughters Katrina and Kate—and had recently left his relationship with Whoopi Goldberg.

Steenburgen had also divorced Malcolm McDowell and was focused on raising their children, Lilly and Charlie. Danson recalled how he and the actress both believed they couldn't date, with him thinking:

"I'm not relationship material."

The "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" star seemed to think the same about Danson as she initially thought he appeared complicated. However, the duo felt an attraction they couldn't deny, though Steenburgen wasn't ready for a relationship.

The pair kept working together and started becoming closer as friends. At one point, the actor planned a trip to Mendocino, California, where he and Steenburgen went on a canoe trip and enjoyed a picnic. That outing confirmed their feelings for each other.

Danson described the trip as "very magical" and confessed that they came back smitten with each other. The couple have now been married for 27 years and going strong, and the actor is still in awe of his wife's good looks.

What Does Mary Look Like Now, and How Does Ted Feel about Her?

On June 15, 2023, Steenburgen, 70, showed her current look while at the Clinton Center with her husband. She smiled in an Instagram photo with her hands crossed in front of her, looking younger than her age, wearing a yellow T-shirt and skirt with a flower design.

The actress stood in front of a wall that featured different photos, including one from 1997 where she posed alongside Danson, former President Bill Clinton, and his wife, Hillary Clinton. At the time, the group was in Martha's Vineyard. The last image in the reel was Danson showing off his coloring skills at the "Dinosaur Explorer" exhibition.

On May 9, 2023, the actress shared a family photo that included her husband, child, and grandchildren. The group had gathered together for the premiere of Steenburgen's movie, "Book Club," and she noted how "proud" she was to have her family with her, sharing how there were three generations in the image.

The following day, the star shared two Instagram pictures of herself wearing a colorful Roksanda Ilinčić MBE dress. Fans were thrilled to see her, with one person calling her "gorgeous" and another writing:

"Incredibly impossibly gorgeous, Mary!! Wow."

Laurie Cole, the Founding Senior Master Instructor at SoulCycle, also noted how "gorgeous" the actress looked.

In 2018, the actress revealed that after being together for 25 years and married for 22, her husband still knew how to keep the spark alive. The star shared the sweet thing he does daily that matters a lot to her:

"He does tell me every single day of my life I'm beautiful, and I do know a lot of women live without that."

The year before, the "Good Place" actor expressed how blessed he was to to have his wife, describing her as an incredible person. He also declared:

"I'm madly in love with Mary Steenburgen."

Danson said being in love with his wife felt like heaven on Earth, and if death came, he would die knowing how to be loved and to love.

What Is Ted and Mary's Current Life like Now?

In October 1995, Danson and Steenburgen wed and have since appeared together several more times on screen. After they were married, Danson became a stepfather to his wife's two children from her marriage to McDowell.

The "Cheers" actor is now also a step-grandfather to three grandchildren. His wife's daughter, Lilly, married Charles Walton in 2010, and they welcomed three children, Clementine, Goldie, and Vera.

The property, described as their "retreat" home, sold for $8.75 million, and its previous owner was Ellen DeGeneres.

Danson and Steenburgen have managed to blend their families well. In fact, Clementine's birth inspired Danson's daughter, Kate, to become a doula.

The actress and her husband have been living a peaceful life together in their Santa Monica, California home. In September 2020, fans saw part of their home when the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards aired them virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nominees and presenters both appeared from the comfort of their homes.

According to reports, Danson and Steenburgen bought their Santa Monica house in 2018. It was the property opposite the other home they already owned through their trust, and they paid $5.15 million for it.

The house is almost 4,000 square feet, boasting 3.75 bathrooms and three bedrooms. The couple didn't reveal which one of their homes they quarantined in during the pandemic, but in June 2019, they sold their Ojai, Califonia home.

The property, described as their "retreat” home, sold for $8.75 million, and its previous owner was Ellen DeGeneres. Besides their Ojai residence, Steenburgen and her husband reportedly owns two other houses in the area.

The pair own a brick ranch house, and in 2018, they bought a Midcentury Modern residence. The stars enjoy an intimate life in their beautiful homes, with Danson seeing his wife's children and grandchildren like his own.
