Mackenzie Phillips shocks with 15-year celibacy confession as Sharon Stone, Teri Hatcher rethink romance
Mackenzie Phillips revealed that her past extroverted life is nothing like her current status.
Phillips, 66, admitted in an upcoming episode of Valerie Bertinelli's "Getting Naked" podcast that her social battery quickly becomes depleted after a busy day.
"I would get home, and I would have no words left, you know, and so in order to get up and do it again the next day, I had to be alone to recharge," she said, per People .
"Which is, by the way, why — am I going to say this out loud? I have been celibate for 15 years." 'AMERICAN PIE' STAR SHANNON ELIZABETH SWEARS OFF DATING, SAYS ONLYFANS IS 'THE ONLY RELATIONSHIP I NEED' Bertinelli confided that "there was nothing wrong with being celibate," before Phillips explained that she's "had enough sex to last for several lifetimes for several people." "And the parts of me that were injured or wounded, I can care for them myself," she said before noting that she doesn't date.
"I have my little friend in the bedside drawer." Bertinelli admitted that she also experienced "periods of celibacy" and hasn't been physically intimate in "almost two years now." Phillips first married music manager Jeff Sessler for two years before their divorce in 1981.
She then married guitarist Shane Fontayne for 14 years before their split in 2000.
SHARON STONE ADMITS THE BRUTAL MOMENT SHE KNEW HER MARRIAGE WAS OVER In 2005, the "American Graffiti" actress married her third husband, Keith Levenson, which ended in divorce two years later.
Celibacy appeared to be trending in Hollywood this summer as Sharon Stone recently admitted that she, too, chose a path of celibacy.
"I'm a really good girlfriend, but I haven't been a girlfriend in a long time," Stone said during an appearance on the " Mayim Bialik's Breakdown " podcast.
"And I've been a girlfriend to bad boyfriends, and I've been a girlfriend to good boyfriends." CHRISTIE BRINKLEY SAYS SHE'S RETHINKING SOULMATES AFTER FOUR MARRIAGES "I've had good luck and bad luck and no luck at all," she said.
"For quite a long time I’ve had no luck at all.
I've been celibate for quite a while now because I'm just at the point where I really only want to be with someone that I care for." While the "Basic Instinct" star revealed her dating patterns, she also noted that she's now looking for "someone that's my companion, not just someone to have sex with." "I'm kind of bored with that," Stone said of casual flings.
"I'm in the no luck at all phase right now," before adding that it's "the phase you need to be willing to be in to have the thing that I really want." Bialik asked if Stone had "a great love" of her life.
The "Total Recall" star was first married to producer Michael Greenburg for six years before their divorce in 1990.
