Sharon Stone, 68, Says She's Celibate and Wants a Companion, Not a Fling

Sharon Stone opened up on Mayim Bialik’s“Breakdown”podcast this week, and what she said is resonating with a whole lot of folks over 60. The 68-year-old actress revealed she’s been celibate for quite a while, and her reasoning is simple: she only wants to be with someone she genuinely cares for. Without that connection, she said,“I’m kind of bored with that.”

Stone is an empty nester now. Her three adopted sons, Roan, Laird, and Quinn, are all grown. She’s been married twice, to Michael Greenburg and Phil Bronstein, and has been publicly single for 22 years. She describes her current dating life as a“no luck at all”phase, and she says that while she’s had loves along the way, she’s never found the great love of her life.

What she’s looking for now isn’t a fling. It’s a companion. Someone to share everyday life with, and honestly, that’s a sentiment plenty of listeners know by heart. Whether you’ve lost a spouse, gone through a divorce, or simply gotten tired of settling, wanting real company over cheap excitement isn’t giving up on love. It’s finally knowing what love is supposed to feel like.

What do you think? Is companionship the real prize after a certain age? Sound off in the comments.
