She is quite a fireball, and whether it is a set of beliefs or a favorite football team, Midler tends to be downright religious about it!

She is a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to travel the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. She is independent, freedom loving, and often very restless. She needs a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine, which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom, is odious to her.

Because she does not take herself too seriously, she may not realize how deeply her candid statements can wound more sensitive souls.

Bette Midler enjoys being in close relationships but also needs freedom and she does not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner.
