Former Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke is not commenting on Barbara Walters’s admission that they had an affair in the ’70s while he was married and in office.

“I have had a lifetime policy and practice of not discussing my personal and private life, or the personal and private lives of others, with the notable exception of what I wrote in my recently published autobiography, Bridging the Divide: My Life,” he told the AP Friday.

Their relationship ‘ which Walters told Oprah Winfrey lasted several years ‘ was not mentioned in his book, but Walters wrote about it in her forthcoming memoir, Audition.

In a taped interview to air Tuesday, Winfrey asks Walters if she was love with the senator.

“I was certainly - I don’t know - I was infatuated,” the View host responded.

The twice-divorced Walters went on to say, “I was certainly involved… He was exciting. He was brilliant. It was exciting times in Washington.”
