Donna Mills can\u2019t be tied down.<\/p>\n

The \u201cKnots Landing\u201d alum\u00a0turned OnlyFans creator,<\/a>\u00a085, revealed her reasons for never getting married on Tuesday\u2019s episode of\u00a0\u201cStill Here Hollywood Podcast.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI was always so independent,\u201d she explained to host Steve Kmetko. \u201cI\u2019m still very independent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just didn\u2019t ever want to be subject to whatever you have to do when you get married,\u201d she continued. \u201cI also didn\u2019t want to say I was going to love somebody forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

She admitted, \u201cI don\u2019t know if I would do that or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mills said she recently had the conversation about why she never tied the knot with her daughter, Chloe, whom she adopted in 1994 when she was 54 years old.<\/p>\n

The actress said Chloe just got married and also gave birth, making her a grandmother. Mills joked that she wanted her grandson to call her \u201cGlamma.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Chloe] didn\u2019t like that,\u201d she cracked.<\/p>\n

While the former soap star never married, she\u2019s been in a relationship with actor\u00a0Larry Gilman, 76, since 2001. Back in 2022, she explained why marriage was not in the cards for them after more than 20 years together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so freaking independent. I just am,\u201d she again stressed in an interview\u00a0with the Daily Beast<\/a>, noting that both she and Gilman were already \u201cpretty established\u201d when they met.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo combine everything at that point is really difficult,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo we just combined our lives but not our finances and stuff like that. It\u2019s much cleaner, much better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mills made headlines in July when she launched her OnlyFans account at 85 years old.<\/p>\n

She told Page Six in a statement that she had no fears over being the oldest creator on the paid subscription service known for adult content.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney, I\u2019ve been in this business over 50 years\u2026I\u2019ve seen every trend come and go,\u201d she told us. \u201cWhen something new comes along that lets me talk directly to the people who\u2019ve stuck with me since \u2018Knots Landing,\u2019 why wouldn\u2019t I jump in? My fans are going to see the real me: the good hair days, the bad hair days, and everything in between.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople keep asking me why now. Why not now?\u201d she cortinued. \u201cLife\u2019s too short to sit on the sidelines. My fans have given me everything, and this is my way of letting them in a little closer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, she\u00a0revealed the types of requests she gets<\/a>\u00a0from fans, which includes workout videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do the Peloton,\u201d she said during her appearance on \u201cNightline.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust, you know, they\u2019re the things of everyday life: having a cup of coffee, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she said there\u2019s one request she won\u2019t fulfill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, you know I have a vineyard\u2026 Somebody wants me to film myself stomping the grapes,\u201d the actress told Entertainment Tonight in August. \u201cThere are a lot of people out there who are turned on by toes, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if she would fulfill the specific request, Mills ecstatically replied, \u201cYou betcha!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
