“Cheers” star Ted Danson and his wife Mary Steenburgen wake up at 4:30 a.m. for “Date Early Bird Specials.”

“Cheers” star Ted Danson and his wife Mary Steenburgen’s date night looks a little different in their 70s.

During an interview with People, Danson explained that the couple, who will celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary next year, prefers spending time together early in the morning rather than a romantic date night.

“Date nights at my age are like early bird specials for dates,” Danson, 76, told the outlet.

He continued, “The most fun is early morning, 4:30 a.m., coffee in bed, playing Wordle, Connections and Spelling Bee, talking, laughing and sharing.”

Despite their busy schedule, Danson said the distance doesn’t stop him from spending lovely mornings with the 71-year-old Steenburgen.

“Even if she works in a different time zone, we will wake up in time to play our games and drink coffee on the phone,” he said.

Danson told the outlet that part of the reason he treasures these moments with his wife is because they didn’t meet until later in life. When they met, Steenburgen and Danson were in their 40s and both already married.

Steenburgen has a son and a daughter with the actor Malcolm McDowellwith whom she was married from 1980 to 1990.

“I had decided about a year before that I wanted to become a more emotionally mature, honest person,” Danson recalled before meeting Steenburgen. “I worked very hard at it, otherwise Mary Steenburgen wouldn’t have even seen me.”

Because Danson has set his sights on becoming his best self later in life, he told People that he’s pretty sure his relationship with the “Elf” actress wouldn’t have worked out if they had met earlier.
