Tom Arnold revealed why he hasn't had a date in a decade
In a candid conversation with Page Six, the True Lies actor opened up about his love life and the recent developments in his life. He explained how his opinion about women in their 60s has evolved over time. While he confessed that he wants to find someone he can settle down with, his comment on the preferred age of his partner has now caught attention.
During the conversation, Tom Arnold was asked if he is serious about wanting to be in love again. Tom responded affirmatively, before adding, "It would be good to love somebody and be loved." The comedian revealed that he has met a number of attractive women while on his nationwide My Crazy X-Wife comedy tour. However, nothing has been able to change his previous opinions about dating someone his own age.
Tom Arnold revealed that he hasn't had a date in almost a decade. However, when someone tells him that he should date someone his own age, he cannot get himself to do so. While he admitted that some women around his age are extremely gorgeous, funny, and smart, he still finds people his age 'disgusting'. He said:
"I used to say, people are like, because I haven't had a date for nine and a half years, 'You should date someone your own age.' And I'm like, 'Dude, have you seen people my age? We are freaking disgusting.' But here's the thing. I have learned there's a lot of funny, smart, sexy, 60-something women."
More about Tom Arnold's relationship history
Tom Arnold has been dealing with a broken back for a while now. He recently opened up about his romantic status and health challenges while walking the red carpet at Cure Addiction Now (CAN) 3rd Annual Fundraising Evening. For those unfamiliar with the actor's past relationships, he has been married and divorced four times, and he has two children, Jax, 13, and Quinn, 10, with his most recent ex-wife, Ashley Groussman.
He was notably married to actress Roseanne Barr, from 1990 to 1994. However, their relationship became very strained, with the actress claiming that their marriage fell apart as a result of Tom's substance use, as well as his reported physical and psychological abuse. In court papers, she said:
"Throughout our marriage, [Arnold] has been physically and emotionally abusive toward me. I now realize that I am a classic battered and abused wife who has tolerated the conduct...only because [Arnold] has successfully lowered my self-esteem and reduced me to the realm of battered wife syndrome."
The actor has since been through a sobriety journey, revealing that he has found surprising support in that struggle from the women he meets on his tour. While he no longer considers himself sober, as he has been using prescription drugs to recover from surgeries, Tom Arnold admitted that he still has a strong support system in place to ensure he stays on the right track.
Speaking about his hopes for the future, Tom Arnold said he hopes to one day meet a woman he'd be proud to introduce to his children.
