Teri Hatcher is prioritizing self-care. Despite being open to the idea of dating, the 59-year-old actress revealed that she no longer finds it enjoyable. “People would ask, ‘Are you dating?’ and I’d respond, ‘Well, I don’t date much anymore because I used to, and you’d look across the table at the guy… you’d think, ‘OK, I wonder if we’re going to end up in bed together,'” Hatcher explained on the “Sherri” show. “Now I look across the table and I just think: ‘when am I going to have to change this guy’s diapers?’” she joked. “It’s just not that fun anymore.”

The “Desperate Housewives” star also mentioned that she is content with aging as she approaches her 60th birthday next month. “There’s only one way to feel about aging and that’s grateful… Every day above ground is a gift… I do look at it with a lot of gratitude,” she said.

Hatcher discussed her new film “How to Fall in Love by Christmas” and how her character experiences numerous unsuccessful dates. She likened her recent acting role to her real-life dating experiences. “I don’t date much. I mostly date my cat,” she quipped.

Hatcher shared her solo activities, including learning French through Duolingo. “My cat must’ve been French in another life because she jumps up on my chest, and she just sits there on my chest while I do the little game… then I just pet my cat. It’s better than any date that you could possibly go on,” she said.

During the show, the host suggested Hatcher date younger men. “All right, okay, line ’em up,” she replied. “I mean, people will say that to me. They’re like, ‘We can’t believe you don’t date, they must be lining up out the door,’ and I’m like ‘No.’ No, I open it once in a while, there’s nobody there.”

Hatcher’s comments follow her admission of being removed from a dating app earlier this year after her profile was flagged as fake. She stated that she had not met anyone on the apps but had tried them all during her dating journey. “You know, I thought, I’m going to say to the universe that I am open and vulnerable, and I’m putting myself out there,” Hatcher explained on “Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone” in January. “That’s what I thought my gesture of joining that Hinge app would be. And then they kicked me off.” Her profile was deemed fake by the popular dating app. “Well, they thought I was pretending to be Teri Hatcher,” she said. “They apologized, and then I was like, ‘I’m sort of over it.’ So now I’m over it,” she continued. “I’m definitely done with the dating apps, and I feel like if there’s any way I’ll go somewhere and meet someone, that’s what it’s going to have to be, but honestly, I’m happy.”

In 1989, Hatcher married Marcus Liethold. The couple divorced after just one year of marriage. She later married Jon Tenney in 1994, known for his role as special agent Fritz Howard in “The Closer.” They welcomed a daughter in 1997 but separated in 2003.
