Summary
Mackenzie Phillips, 66, said on an upcoming episode of Valerie Bertinelli’s “Getting Naked” podcast that she has been celibate for 15 years and no longer dates.
Phillips linked that choice to social exhaustion after work and to emotional self-care, saying she needed solitude to recharge and felt she had “enough sex to last for several lifetimes.”
Valerie Bertinelli said there is “nothing wrong” with celibacy and disclosed she has not been physically intimate for almost 2 years.
The disclosure lands amid similar comments from other actresses: Sharon Stone recently said she has been celibate for “quite a while,” while Teri Hatcher said she has not been on a date in 7 years.
