Ted Danson tied the knot for the first time before his acting career took off. According to Hello! magazine, Danson married Randall "Randy" Gosch in 1970, when he was 22 years old. The couple met as undergraduate students at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, according to 9Honey. Danson and Gosch began to drift apart as they developed their acting careers and the marriage didn't last, Hello! detailed. Now known professionally as Randy Danson, Gosch appeared in the film "The Last Temptation of Christ" and the TV series "The Equalizer" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," per IMDb. Information on his first marriage is limited, as Danson refuses to discuss it, according to Closer Weekly.
Two years later, Danson married producer Casey Coates, Closer Weekly noted. "It was love at first sight," Danson said. But tragedy struck their family in 1979, when Coastes gave birth to their daughter Kate. As People detailed in 1982, Coates suffered a nearly fatal stroke during childbirth, which led to paralysis on the left side of her body. "It was horrifying. But after you get over the shock, you roll up your sleeves and work at getting things better," he told People. For three weeks, Danson slept on the hospital room floor to be near his wife as she received treatment. Coates made a near-full recovery, and the couple went on to have another daughter, Alexis. However, their marriage ended in one of Hollywood's most expensive divorces.
