Sharon Stone, 67, has recently made waves by revealing a surprising piece of her romantic past.

The revelation came during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday, where host Andy Cohen was clearly shocked.

“I mean, this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it,” Cohen said

He then asked: “Sharon, did you go on a date with Nelly?”

Stone responded with a candid: “Yes, I did,” followed by a burst of laughter.

However, the date didn’t lead to anything further, as she quickly clarified, “No, I did not” when asked about a second outing.


Although Stone didn’t share additional details about their brief rendezvous, fans on social media were quick to express their surprise and admiration for the actress’s openness.

“Ahh! I keep watching her in these clips. I love her transparency,” one fan wrote, while another commented simply: “Icon.”


This revelation certainly caught attention, especially given the significant 15-year age gap between Stone and the 'Dilemma' hitmaker.

But while their brief connection may have been a one-time affair, Stone has had a rich history of relationships over the years.

She was previously married to film producer Michael Greenburg from 1984 to 1987, and later wed journalist Phil Bronstein in 1998, though their union ended in 2004.

The couple adopted a son, Roan, in 2000, and Stone went on to adopt two more children, Laird in 2005 and Quinn in 2006.

Sharon has been open about the complexities of her personal life, and her role as a mother remains one of her greatest accomplishments.

During a rare red carpet appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Nobody 2, Stone was joined by all three of her sons, Roan, Laird, and Quinn.

The event marked a special moment for her, as she spoke about how much her children influenced her decision to take on the role in the action thriller sequel.

“They are ‘huge’ fans of the first movie,” she said. “It really played an enormous part on why I did the film.” Her children flew in to see the movie because, as she explained, “It’s their favorite movie.”

In an emotional moment, she reflected on raising her sons, especially as a single mother. Speaking to Seth Meyers on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she revealed how important her values were in guiding her through the challenges of parenthood.

“I wouldn’t have survived [without the values],” she said, adding, “I wouldn’t be a sober, healthy, working mom who was able to take three adopted kids... and do it by myself with the help of wonderful nannies if I didn’t come from grounded, moral values.”

She also discussed the difficulties of raising children during the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that the experience had been a "complicated period."

Despite her busy schedule, which includes a new role in Nobody 2—where she portrays the villain Lendina—Stone’s return to the big screen is also a return to a life of balance.

“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 in a recent interview with Today. “But now my children have left the nest, and now I’m back to work.”

While Stone has navigated her career and motherhood with grace, Nelly, who remains a prominent figure in music, has moved forward with his own family.

In December 2023, he married his longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend, Ashanti. The couple welcomed their baby son, Kareem, in July 2024.
