Well, we certainly didn’t see this coming, but honestly, we are here for it. Apparently, Sharon Stone is really into all types of music, including rap. Well, sort of. Hollywood has served up its fair share of unexpected pairings, but Stone just added one to the top of the list. The actress, who is now 66, once went on a date with rapper Nelly. Yes, THAT, Nelly.
The âBasic Instinctâ actress confirmed the long-rumored night out during a recent appearance on Bravoâs âWatch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.â
Itâs Getting Hot In Here, For Sure!
Seated next to her âNobody 2â co-star Bob Odenkirk, Stone fielded questions about her past love life when Cohen pulled out a rumor card involving the Grammy-winning hip-hop star.
âI mean ⦠this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it,â Cohen said with a laugh, while Odenkirk chimed in, âIâm gonna say yeah.â
Then Cohen cut to the chase. âSharon, did you go on a date with Nelly?,â he said. Without missing a beat, Stone smiled and said, âYes, I did.â
Stone was quick to clarify that the evening with the âCountry Grammarâ rapper was just that one date. âNo, I did not,â she replied when Cohen asked if there had been a follow-up.
The revelation sent the studio audience into gasps and applause, because, well, this is truly impressive. Nelly, who is now 50, built his career on chart-topping hits like âHot in Herreâ and âRide with Me.â But, as expected, he has never publicly discussed the brief encounter.
For Stone, though, it was all in good fun, of course. While she didnât share details of the evening, the actress seemed amused to finally confirm what fans had long speculated.
Do Opposites Attract?
On paper, the two couldnât be more different. Stone, whoâs an Oscar nominee, has been a fixture in Hollywood since the early â90s. Sheâs been known for decades thanks to her femme fatale roles and red-carpet presence. Offscreen, sheâs a mother of three sons. Roan, 25; Laird, 20; and Quinn, 19, whom she adopted after her marriage to journalist Phil Bronstein ended in 2004.
Nelly, meanwhile, has spent more than two decades as one of rapâs biggest crossover stars. Heâs well known for blending hip-hop with R&B hooks and pop sensibility. With three Grammys and multiple platinum records under his belt, he remains a touring force and a mainstay on nostalgic playlists everywhere.
That their worlds briefly collided feels a little less strange in hindsight, but hey, if it works, it works. Both are fixtures of their industries, both were single at the time, and both have always projected a playful charisma that makes this surprising duo almost make sense. So, why not?
‘We Belong Together’
Stone has been candid about her ups and downs in romance. Married twice, first to producer Michael Greenberg and later to Bronstein, sheâs also been open about dating struggles in recent years. This includes hilarious (she’s admitted) and some disastrous online encounters.
In a 2024 interview with The Times, she admitted one date turned out to be a convicted felon, while another was âa heroin addict whoâs clearly 20,000 heroin injections later than the picture he sent me.â That second meeting ended quickly when Stone told the waiter, âIâll have a glass of water,â before excusing herself. A queen who knows what she’s worth!
But the actress doesnât dwell on missed connections. âI donât look for anything,â she told the outlet. âBecause I donât think thatâs what happens. Youâre standing somewhere, someone walks up and starts talking to you and you turn around and think, âWhat?â And the next thing you know, two years have gone by.â
As for the Nelly date, it may have been short-lived, but fans are delighted she finally confirmed it. The rapper went on to marry singer Ashanti in 2023, shocking fans left and right. Together they star in their own reality show, âWe Belong Together,â which showcases their daily life.Â
The unlikely pairing adds another colorful chapter to Stoneâs already fascinating personal history and proves sheâs still full of surprises.
And who knows? In another universe, maybe Sharon Stone and Nelly wouldâve been the ultimate early-2000s power couple. For now, though, the story of their single night out is enough to keep Hollywood buzzing.
