Mackenzie Phillips, at 66, reveals her current quieter lifestyle starkly contrasts with her previous extroverted life. In Valerie Bertinelli’s “Getting Naked” podcast, Phillips shares that her social energy drains quickly after busy days. She states, “I would get home, and I would have no words left,” needing solitude to recharge. This need for solitude has led to 15 years of celibacy.

Mackenzie Phillips, Sharon Stone, and Teri Hatcher Embrace Celibacy

Along with Phillips, Sharon Stone and Teri Hatcher also choose lifestyles without dating. Phillips remarks that she’s had enough relationships to last several lifetimes, noting she can care for herself without dating.

Bertinelli, who speaks of experiencing “periods of celibacy,” agrees there’s nothing wrong with this lifestyle. Phillips’ past marriages include Jeff Sessler, Shane Fontayne, and Keith Levenson, all ending in divorce. Phillips has stopped dating due to exhaustion and a desire for self-care.

Similarly, Sharon Stone, noted for roles like “Basic Instinct,” shares thoughts on celibacy on “Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown” podcast. Acknowledging her dating history, Stone wants a companion who matters deeply rather than just a casual partner.

Teri Hatcher, another Hollywood name, confesses to being “so single” for years, shared during an interview with HELLO!. Hatcher welcomes the possibility of dating but hasn’t actively pursued it for seven years, finding contentment in her circle of friends.

Hatcher humorously reflects on dating dynamics, expressing a shift in how she perceives potential partners. Her past includes marriages to Marcus Liethold and Jon Tenney, with whom she has a daughter.
