Sharon Stone’s Surprising Past: A Date with Nelly
Sharon Stone, the iconic actress known for her role in “Basic Instinct,” recently shared an unexpected piece of her past during a live television appearance. At 67 years old, she revealed that she once went on a date with rapper Nelly, who is 50. The age gap between them was over 15 years, making the revelation all the more intriguing.
The confession came while Stone was promoting her new movie, “Nobody 2,” alongside co-star Bob Odenkirk on the show “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” During the interview, Cohen, who is 57, asked if she had ever dated Nelly. Stone, with a laugh, confirmed the encounter.
“I mean, this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it,” Cohen said, before asking directly, “Sharon, did you go on a date with Nelly?” Stone responded with a burst of laughter and an emphatic, “Yes, I did.”
Despite the initial attraction, the pair didn’t continue their relationship. When asked if they ever went out again, Stone replied, “No, I did not.” She didn’t elaborate on the details of the date, but fans were quick to react on social media. Many expressed surprise at the revelation, with some calling her “iconic” and praising her transparency.
Fans also wondered if there were other relationships that would surprise them. One person asked, “Follow-up Q: anybody else you dated that would surprise us?” Others simply commented with admiration, showing how much they appreciate Stone’s candidness.
A History of Relationships and Family Life
Stone has had a long and varied history of relationships. She was first married to film producer Michael Greenburg from 1984 to 1987. Later, she married journalist Phil Bronstein, from 1998 to 2004. Together, they adopted a son, Roan, in 2000. Stone then adopted two more sons, Laird in 2005 and Quinn in 2006.
In August 2024, Stone made a rare red carpet appearance with all three of her sons at the Los Angeles premiere of “Nobody 2.” This moment highlighted her strong family ties and the importance of her children in her life.
Before her marriage to Bronstein, Stone was romantically linked to comedian Garry Shandling, filmmaker William Macdonald, and assistant director Bob Wagner. However, after suffering a stroke in September 2001, she decided to step back from acting to focus on her family.
Returning to the Spotlight
Now that her children have grown and left home, Stone has returned to the world of acting. In an interview with Today, she reflected on her life choices. “When I reconsidered what value things had to me in life, I really wanted to have children and spend my time with them,” she said. “And I only really worked as much as I needed to to support my family. But now my children have left the nest, and now I’m back to work.”
As for Nelly, he has also found love and started a family of his own. He married his longtime girlfriend, Ashanti, in December 2023. The couple welcomed a baby son, Kareem, on July 18, 2024.
Stone's journey through love, loss, and family life continues to captivate fans, proving that even the most unexpected chapters can lead to remarkable stories.
