Nikki Garcia hasn’t thrown down in quite some time.

Months after the WWE Hall of Famer known as Nikki Bella sparked romance rumors with Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean, she shared a candid update about her love life.

“I’m pretty much like a nun at this point,” Nikki told Us Weeklyin an interview published August 1. “Super celibate. I should just put on a ring.”

She added, “I wish I was out there getting wild. I just don’t have energy for it.”

Nikki settled her divorce with ex-husband Artem Chigvintsev in November 2024, two years after the pair tied the knot. Following the split, romance rumors began to swirl around Nikki, 42, and Cooper, 23, after the pair were seen looking awfully cozy during her trip to Philadelphia last December.

But weeks after they were seen together in the City of Brotherly Love, Nikki seemingly shut down the hearsay on a December 2025 episode of her and twin sister Brie Garcia’s The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, sharing she hadn’t been intimate with someone in "a really long time."

Since then, Brie shared she’s “been trying” to set Nikki—mom to 6-year-old son Matteo with Artem—up on dates, which she’s respectfully declined.

“She’s too busy, and I get it,” Brie continued to Us Weekly. “Matteo is her world right now. She’s like, ‘I have no time between being on the road, our wine company and our podcast, and then Matteo.'”

“I try. But she’s like, ‘No, no.’ This is the thing with her: If she has a free night, she wants to Netflix and chill,” Brie added. “She’s like, ‘I don’t want to go on a date. I don’t have to dress up.’”

But that’s not stopping Brie—who shares kids Birdie, 9, and Buddy, 5, with husband Bryan Danielson—from playing wing woman. As she put it, “I still keep my eyes open. There’s been some prospects.”

Until she’s ready to dive back into the dating pool, Nikki remains focused on the most important man in her life—her son.

“He gives me the greatest love ever,” Nikki told E! News in February 2025 of her little guy. "He fills my cup up beyond.”

Kesha

Apparently, the party doesn't start until the "Tik Tok" singer puts on her mindfulness playlist."I actually masturbate to gratitude meditations," she revealed during a 2026 appearance onCall Her Daddy. "Don't knock it till you try it."In fact, Kesha said it's "amazing" to start the day with guided meditation."It is OK as a woman to feel pleasure in this world," she continued. "When you go through things, pleasure is not like the number one neural pathway that your brain always goes to when you have survived things, and I had to reprogram that, and I do it every f--king day and I'm not even embarrassed about it."Nikki Glaser

The comedian shared that shehas a "hot husband" fetish, in which she finds pleasure from her partner being in a sexual relationship with other people, with her on-and-off boyfriendChris Convy."I didn't really have a boyfriend before that," she said on theCall Her Daddupodcast in April 2026, "I would always ask him about past hookups and girlfriends and how they got together. Like, 'How did you first know you liked each other?' I loved that.""It would make me horny to think about him doing that with other girls," she continued. "So, I'd ask about all of his girlfriends or anyone he had hooked up with, all the details about it and it would really be like a foreplay for me. I would get revved up talking about it."Pam Grier

At age 76, theJackie Brownactress said she has orgasms that'll "last three days.""You don't have to do anything, but when it happens, I just wanna tell you, you just be prepared," she quipped to hostJulia Louis-Freyfuson a May 2026 episode of Lemonade Media'sWiser Than Mepodcast. "It's gonna be three whole days."Joe Jonas

TheJonas Brothersstar revealed in 2025 that he had a very embarrassing encounter after he "joined the mile high club a couple years ago," when he was still married toSophie Turner."Left the bathroom, I thought I was high-fiving my drummer," Joe told theAre You Okay Showon TikTok. "After the high-five, I realized it was the flight attendant."Since it was a private plane, he said he wouldn't be "banned from flying," and admitted that the sex was totally worth the awkward moment.Tim Gunn

The formerProject Runwaymentor shared in February 2026 thathe has been celibate for more than four decadesafter a devastating breakup."One of the things that he told me that night was that he'd been sleeping with just about everything that walked by," he toldChelsea Handleron her podcastDear Chelsea. "I had been loyal and faithful to him. He was the only person I'd ever been with. This is the advent of AIDS. It's 1982.""The self-pity then turned to completely unbridled anger because I thought he may have given me a death sentence," he continued. "I was tested every six months for ten years for HIV, and thankfully, I had a clean slate."But whenever he found himself getting closer to someone new, he would be taken back to that traumatizing chapter in his life."Whenever I was even tempted to engage in something that could become serious with someone," he reflected, "all this would come back like Niagara Falls, and it would just take the desire away."Jelly Roll

The country singer confessed in December 2025 that his sex life with wifeBunnie Xowas "horrible" before his 200-lb. weight loss.And it wasn't because of her, as he noted on theJoe Rogan Experiencepodcast, "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 nameJason 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’ sisterGrace Ann Naderspilled the beans on this one, revealing that theSports Illustratedmodel and herDancing With the StarspartnerGleb Savchenkodid more than just rehearse their dance moves behind the scenes.“I can tell you firsthand,” Grace Ann said on theChicks In the Officepodcast 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 husbandBilly Haire, she joked, “The trailer thing was probably why we didn’t win.”Brooke Shields

Brooke got candid about her sex life with husbandChris Henchyin her 2025 memoirBrooke 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 toPeople. “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" singerrevealed how she thankedexOrlando Bloomfor 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 toldAlex Cooperon a September 2024 episode ofCall 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

"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 theAmerica's Got Talentjudge's closets, but there may be some slightly scandalous fashions."It's a big closet," she says of the spaceshe's dubbed her sex closet. "But, there's outfits in here and things, you know," she said onThe Skinny Confidential Him & Her Showpodcast 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 daughterLeni Klumaccidentally encountered the space."She found my sex closet," Heidi said on an episode of theCall Her Daddypodcast 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.'"Shailene Woodley

Despite describing herself as a "very sexual person," Shailene has shared she has someserious "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 theShe MDpodcast 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 partnerKurt Russell, Goldie revealed herbiggest secret for a successful, long term relationship.“You have to have good sex,” she toldE! Newsin September 2024. “Because sex is something that connects you and creates more belonging. People who have healthy sexual relationships usually last a lot longer.

For Demi, there's nothing wrong withfeeling confident in the bedroom."I feel the most confident when I'm having sex," she told theLadyGangpodcast 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 husbandHarry Hamlin,Lisa got candidabout how aging has affected their sex lives."I do think that desire levels change for a man," the actress toldCosmopolitanin 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 havecreated a code wordto talk about sex around their kids."We 'play Legos naked,'" Marco revealed onThe Drew Barrymore Showin 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?
