Although Hatcher, 59, is not closed off to dating, she shared that she simply does not enjoy it anymore. 

"Now I look across the table and I just think: 'when am I going to have to change this guy's diapers?'" Hatcher quipped. "It's just not that fun anymore."

Hatcher went on to discuss her new film "How to Fall in Love by Christmas" and how her character "goes on so many bad dates." She compared her recent acting role to dating in real life.

"I don't date much. I mostly date my cat," she remarked.

Hatcher continued to share what she enjoys doing in her time alone. 

During the show, the host suggested Hatcher date younger men. 

"All right, okay, line 'em up," she replied. "I mean, people will say that to me. They're like, 'We can't believe you don't date, they must be lining up out the door,' and I'm like 'No.' No, I open it once in a while, there's nobody there."

Hatcher's comments come after she admitted she got kicked off a dating app after her profile was flagged as fake earlier this year. She claimed at the time that she had not met anyone on the apps but had tried all of them at that stage in her dating journey.

"You know, I thought, I'm going to say to the universe that I am open and vulnerable, and I'm putting myself out there," Hatcher explained on "Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone" in January. "That's what I thought my gesture of joining that Hinge app would be. And then they kicked me off."

Her profile was deemed fake by the popular dating app.

"Well, they thought I was pretending to be Teri Hatcher," she said.

"They apologized, and then I was like, 'I'm sort of over it.' So now I'm over it," she continued. "I'm definitely done with the dating apps, and I feel like if there's any way I'll go somewhere and meet someone, that's what it's going to have to be, but honestly, I'm happy."

The "Quantum Leap" star married Jon Tenney in 1994. Tenney is known for his role as special agent Fritz Howard in "The Closer." Tenney and Hatcher welcomed a daughter in 1997. However, the couple called it quits in 2003.
