As the actors honored some of the most iconic shows in television, Danny decided to remind everybody of how many Emmys Rhea had won over the years, proudly telling the crowd: “Rhea won four for Cheers.”
This random but undeniably sweet comment appeared to catch Rhea completely off guard, but she was visibly thrilled by it as she laughed with a huge smile on her face while watching her ex on stage.
At the time, some shared their hope that this was a sign that the former couple would rekindle their romance, which first started all the way back in 1971 at an off-Broadway play called The Shrinking Bride.

Just weeks later, Rhea moved into Danny’s New York apartment, and the two got married in 1982 after more than a decade of dating.
