Actress Sharon Stone has once again made headlines, but this time not for a new film project, but for her most personal revelations. At 68, the star of 'Basic Instinct' sat down on the American podcast Mayim Bialik's Breakdown and confessed candidly that she has been celibate for quite some time. However, this is not a casual decision: the actress asserts that she has reached a point in her life where she only wants intimacy with someone she truly cares about , and she has absolutely no interest in a fleeting affair.
During a conversation with fellow actress Mayim Bialik, Stone was asked about her relationship style. Her answer certainly didn't go unnoticed: "I'm a really good girlfriend, but it's been a long time since I've been a girlfriend." After years of emotional ups and downs, the actress is clear that she's no longer interested in getting lost in empty relationships . "I've had good luck, bad luck, and no luck," she admitted with a laugh, before adding that she's currently in the "no luck at all" phase.
The reason for his celibacy: weariness with superficiality
The artist didn't want to stop at a mere announcement and explained in detail what led her to make this very personal decision. "I've been celibate for quite some time because I've reached the point where I really only want to be with someone I care about ," she confessed. This statement makes even more sense when you consider her subsequent words: "I'm a little bored with that," she said, referring to casual relationships and sex without any commitment.
Now that her three children are grown and have left home, the star of 'Basic Instinct' says she's looking for something very different than what she might have been looking for a few years ago. "I want someone who will be my partner, not just someone to have sex with," she explained. Ultimately, she's looking for a real and lasting emotional connection, something quite different from her past experiences. Because, although she's been married twice—first to producer Michael Greenburg (1984-1990) and then to journalist Phil Bronstein (1998-2004)—the actress is certain she hasn't yet met the man of her dreams.
Has Sharon Stone found true love?
One of the most anticipated questions of the interview came when Bialik asked if the actress had ever experienced what is so often depicted in films: true love. Stone's answer was emphatic and, at the same time, surprisingly serene: "I've had loves in my life, but I don't think I've had the great love of my life ." A statement that has generated much discussion and that contrasts sharply with the femme fatale image she has projected for decades on the big screen.
Far from being bitter about it, the artist faces this stage with an enviable philosophy of life. For her, this period without a partner is not a void to be filled, but a necessary stop on the path to what she truly desires. "Accepting this time without a partner is part of the process of finding a more authentic relationship," she says. And so, slowly but surely , Sharon Stone continues her personal search for a love that completes her and that, in her own words, will arrive when it's meant to.
Beyond her love life, the singer also used her appearance on the podcast to reveal some episodes from her complicated personal history that she had never shared before. Specifically, she referred to the aftereffects of the stroke she suffered in 2001, which nearly cost her her life. "My vertebral artery was ruptured, my subarachnoid pool was filled with blood, and I suffered a stroke that paralyzed the right side of my face," she recounted. "I couldn't lift my left foot, and I stuttered a lot," she added.
The visions after the spill and their unique message of hope
During that incredibly difficult recovery process, Stone says she had experiences she had never shared publicly before because they were so difficult to explain. According to her account, while resting on a sofa, she saw five luminous spheres that communicated with her in a language she described as "digital." Far from being frightened, the actress felt a profound curiosity and peace: "I didn't experience fear, but tranquility." These visions, she says, were linked to her concern about being separated from her eldest son, Roan, during her divorce proceedings.
Sharon Stone's life has been anything but a bed of roses. Years after that scare, the actress wanted to send a message of support to her younger self: "You don't know it, but you're going to make it." A phrase that, she confessed, she would tattoo on the inside of her eyelids because of how much it defines her and because of the resilience she needed during those difficult times.
With that philosophy of resilience, Stone continues on, celibate but not defeated , convinced that true love exists and that, when it appears, it will have been worth the wait. Meanwhile, the star continues to demonstrate that her best role is that of a real woman, with all her strengths and weaknesses, and that age is no obstacle to reinvention. Sharon Stone's love life continues to generate buzz, and everything suggests that the love story she so eagerly anticipates still has a chapter to be written.
