Direct answer: Yes. Whoopi Goldberg and Alvin Martin were married. ENTANGLED records the marriage as ended.
PEOPLE’s 2026 review of Goldberg’s relationship history identifies Alvin Martin as her first husband and gives the marriage as 1973–1979. ENTANGLED records only that documented marriage period and does not infer later private relationship status.
This page is generated only from a relationship record that cleared ENTANGLED’s reviewed-public publication gate and has pair-specific external evidence. Rumors and weaker records are excluded.
