Sharon Stone has dropped a wild bombshell about her dating life, revealing that she once went on a date with rapper Nelly.
The 67-year-old actress has been in the spotlight for decades, thanks to her head-turning stints in Basic Instinct, Casino and the Mighty.
In that time, she has walked down the aisle twice – to Michael Greenburg and Phil Bronstein – and been engaged a further two times.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, alongside Nobody 2 co-star Bob Odenkirk, they touched on her love life during a game.
When asked if it was true that she went on a date with Dilemma rapper Nelly, 50, she initially remained tight-lipped.
‘I mean … this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it,’ host Andy Cohen quipped, while her castmate agreed: ‘I’m gonna say yeah.’
She was greeted with gasps from the audience – and Bob – when she eventually replied: ‘Yes, I did.’
Questioned over whether she saw him again for a second date, she simply added: ‘No, I did not.’
Sharon didn’t go into any details about the time she spent with the Hot in Herre musician, or why they didn’t reconnect for another meeting.
Despite their failed romance plot, Nelly sent fans into a spin when he reunited with ex Ashanti in 2023, 10 years after they ended their decade-long romance.
The couple secretly tied the knot and went on to welcome son Kareem together last year.
He is also father to children Chanelle and Cornell with ex Channetta Valentine, and adopted his sister’s two kids, Shawn and Sydney, after her death in 2005.
Meanwhile, Sharon has been married twice over the years, and kept much of her love life behind closed doors following her divorce from second husband Phil Bronstein in 2004.
In 2024, she declared that she was ready to find love again and had turned to online dating – but hadn’t been fruitful.
Shedding light on her romantic life in an interview with the Times, she insisted: ‘I don’t look for anything. I’ve never looked for anything. Because I don’t think that’s what happens.
‘You’re standing somewhere, someone walks up and starts talking to you and you turn around and think, “What?” And the next thing you know, two years have gone by.
‘You don’t look for a list and then your list arrives. That’s what people do who don’t have relationships. So that they can comfort themselves with the fact that they don’t have a relationship and feel that they’re actively making an effort towards that happening in their lives.’
