Actress Donna Mills, 85, has revealed why she has chosen not to marry her partner of 25 years, actor Larry Gilman. During a podcast appearance, Mills cited her lifelong independence as a primary reason, stating she never wished to be beholden to traditional marital roles.
Mills, who began dating Gilman in 2001, also noted that they both had established lives when they met. This led them to combine their lives but keep their finances separate, a decision she finds beneficial.
The 'Knots Landing' star, known for playing the independent Abby Cunningham, also referenced her character's multiple marriages as a humorous counterpoint to her personal choices. Mills and Gilman reside together in Los Angeles and even co-own a vineyard named Mandeville Vineyards.
Recently, Mills has also engaged with fans on OnlyFans, even agreeing to a request to stomp grapes barefoot in her vineyard, a prospect she finds amusing and plans to film soon.
