Oliver Hudson has no rules of engagement when it comes to describing intimacy.
The Nashville actor detailed how his sex life with wife of almost two decades Erinn Bartlett has hit a new high after he worked on his mental health.
“She’s 52 and sexy as hell,” Oliver, 49, told US Weekly in an interview published Dec. 2. “Just sexy, sexy, sexy, hot and sexy. My self-discovery has allowed me to be more vulnerable, and it’s deepened the sex. It’s still crazy and nuts. It’s not like Red Shoe Diaries and smooth jazz is on and it’s all slow and beautiful, but there’s a connection that just makes it so much better.”
He continued, “I look at her every day, and I’m like, ‘God, she’s beautiful.’”
But Oliver didn’t just rely on their spark to help elevate their love language in the bedroom. He also learned how to manage his anxiety, which had been impacting his personal life for years.
In fact, the Dawson’s Creek alum—who shares kids Wilder, 18, Bodhi, 15, and Rio, 12, with Erinn—shared that he used to have panic attacks when he and his wife were intimate.
“At that time, there was no medication,” he explained. “I’d try to work out, move my body. Of course, that would end up in a panic attack. Then, humorizing it, making it funny. I was being self-deprecating about it once I knew it wasn’t going to kill me, even though I felt like I was dying.”
Eventually, Oliver—who’s the oldest son of Goldie Hawn and ex-husband Bill Hudson—was able to “bring myself back into some semblance of reality” through “journaling and meditation.”
But while he and Erinn have unlocked a new level of intimacy, they briefly hit a rough patch in the early years of their relationship. Last April, Oliver admitted he cheated on the 100 Women star before they got married.
“When I got engaged, something happened psychologically and I spiraled,” Oliver explained on his and sister Kate Hudson’s Sibling Rivalry podcast at the time. “I was unfaithful, and I was cheating. It was crazy.”
While Oliver insisted he “never got caught” in the act, he decided to confess his infidelity to Erin because he “couldn’t live with myself and get married with this sort of weight.”
The duo eventually overcame this hurdle through therapy and “just working through it.” And though a tough moment in their relationship, Oliver doesn’t look back at his actions with remorse.
“Honestly, if that didn’t happen I don't know what kind of person I would be,” he explained. “Do I regret it? I mean, no. I guess not. I regret causing pain. I don’t wanna cause anyone any pain.”

Jelly Roll
The country singer confessed in December 2025 that his sex life with wife Bunnie Xo was "horrible" before his 200-lb. weight loss.
And it wasn't because of her, as he noted on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, "Dude, I married a f--kin’ big-t-tty, blonde, beautiful woman, dawg."
“I married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you're crying, Joe,” Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) said. “And I couldn't even get aroused I was so big. I was having to play Twister to have sex—left foot here, right foot in the X. ‘Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.’ It was bad.”
Brooks Nader
Technically, Brooks’ sister Grace Ann Nader spilled the beans on this one, revealing that the Sports Illustrated model and her Dancing With the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko did more than just rehearse their dance moves behind the scenes.
“I can tell you firsthand,” Grace Ann said on the Chicks In the Office podcast in May 2025, “every time I visited Brooks’s trailer, the trailer was shaking every single time. I never wanted to go in there. I was always knocking.”
As for Brooks, who had freshly broken up with estranged husband Billy Haire, she joked, “The trailer thing was probably why we didn’t win.”
Brooke Shields
Brooke got candid about her sex life with husband Chris Henchy in her 2025 memoir Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old.
“I’m going through all the bodily s--t that comes with aging as a woman even in the best of times,” she wrote in the book, according to People. “The thinning hair and the peach fuzz and the brand-new belly fat and vaginal dryness and the diminishing sex drive—and in my natural state I feel less appealing to him than I ever did before.”
Furthermore, she said being intimate can be painful for her now.
“For me to fully enjoy sex at this point," Brooke added, "I need my lotions and potions, the right sleepwear (maybe calling it sleepwear is contributing to the problem), my special pillow, and maybe a tequila so I can relax.”
Katy Perry
The "California Gurls" singer revealed how she thanked ex Orlando Bloom for doing the dishes during their relationship—and it's not what you'd expect.
"If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all," Katy told Alex Cooper on a September 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, "and you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d--k sucked."
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea is not shy when it comes to sharing her NSFW confessions with the world. In fact, the comedian made headlines when she said a threesome with their masseuse led to her 2010 breakup with Ted Harbert.
But after she received a disappointed text from her ex-boyfriend, she had to set the record straight.
"I really want to clarify," Chelsea said on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2023. "I want to go on the record that that is not why our relationship ended."
"We did have a lot of threesomes‚ and that, while that's private it's already out there," she continued, "so I'm gonna double down on that and just say that we didn't break up because I left him for the masseuse. That didn't happen."
Heidi Klum
There are no skeletons in the America's Got Talent judge's closets, but there may be some slightly scandalous fashions.
"It's a big closet," she says of the space she's dubbed her sex closet. "But, there's outfits in here and things, you know," she said on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show podcast in September 2024. "You can have a lot of things. You can have wigs, you can have outfits, shoes, boots."
She even revealed that her daughter Leni Klum accidentally encountered the space.
"She found my sex closet," Heidi said on an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast in January 2024. "She fully knew what it was. But, also she was with a friend and she filmed it and they were giggling, and I was like, 'Oh my God.'"
John Cena
John shared a behind-the-scenes look into what filming a sex scene is really like.
"There is nothing intimate about it," he said on an episode of Club Shay Shay in August 2024. "Nothing. So, like, it's really embarrassing."
And looking back to his role in 2015's Trainwreck, he was not prepared for the kind of scenes he would be filming with costar Amy Schumer.
"Amy is an angel," he continued. "She made the environment so comfortable, and then when I got the part, eventually they were like, 'Yeah, it's a sex scene and we want you to do elaborate and crazy stunt sex, and all those lines you had? We're probably not going to use them, we're just going to do this stunt sex scene.'"
Shailene Woodley
Despite describing herself as a "very sexual person," Shailene has shared she has some serious "beef" with porn, naming it the "junk food" of pleasure.
"The way that sex is presented on the surface in this country is so fabricated," she said on the She MD podcast in September 2024, "and it’s such a performance instead of true intimacy, vulnerability and connection."
"Pleasure is so important, and we just rip each other off of it because I think we don't necessarily even know what’s possible," she continued. "And that’s my big beef with porn is I'm like, 'You’re selling everybody McDonald’s when you could have like, whoa.'"
Goldie Hawn
After spending four years with partner Kurt Russell, Goldie revealed her biggest secret for a successful, long term relationship.
“You have to have good sex,” she told E! News in September 2024. “Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer. But it's not just because of the act, it's because of the warmth and the intimacy that it creates.”
Ice-T
Ice-T revealed the secret to his and Coco Austin's decades-long marriage—and yes, it involves the bedroom.
"Jungle sex," he told E! News in January 2024. "That flame has to stay lit."
"When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore," he continued, "you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary."
Demi Lovato
For Demi, there's nothing wrong with feeling confident in the bedroom.
"I feel the most confident when I'm having sex," she told the LadyGang podcast in September 2023. "'Cause you're so present that you're not thinking about what is actually like…what clouds your judgement throughout the rest of the day, or at least that's how it is for me. It's not that way for everybody."
Lisa Rinna
After spending decades with husband Harry Hamlin, Lisa got candid about how aging has affected their sex lives.
"I do think that desire levels change for a man," the actress told Cosmopolitan in January 2024. "That's just the natural evolution of life. So it's figuring out how to coexist without taking that personally as a woman. I think that it's almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality."
"We really have great sex together, and we always have," she continued. "It's just that maybe it doesn't happen quite as often as it did when you're in your 30s and in your 20s, I would say. And I think that's normal."
Zoe Saldaña & Marco Perego-Saldaña
Zoe and her husband Marco have created a code word to talk about sex around their kids.
"We 'play Legos naked,'" Marco revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in April 2024, Zoe chiming in to clarify that the term means "sexy time."
But the couple worried that their older twin boys were catching onto the lingo.
"They were like, 'Are you guys kissing? Are you guys gonna go play naked with your Legos?'" Zoe recounted. "And we're like, 'No, we're not going to do that.'"
