This girl is not afraid to share her truth.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Lena Dunham<\/a> did not hold back in her new memoir Famesick, which published on April 14, revealing that she cheated on Jack Antonoff<\/a> towards the end of their five-year relationship.<\/p>\n

The Girls creator admitted in her book that she had an affair with her middle school boyfriend\u2014who she only referred to as Nick\u2014writing that Jack\u2019s “closeness” with a “teen pop star” whose album he was producing at the time started “striking an odd note.”<\/p>\n

E! News has reached out to Jack’s rep for comment but hasn’t heard back.<\/p>\n

Lena and Jack started dating in 2013, but it wasn’t until 2017 that she noticed a shift in their dynamic that started to raise some red flags.<\/p>\n

“I had never stopped flirting\u2014I mean, I wasn’t dead yet\u2014but I had observed careful boundaries, never taking it far enough that I could be declared out of bounds,” she wrote. “If I’d wanted to look, perhaps I may have seen that Jack was not observing them as closely as I was.”<\/p>\n

Around that same time, Lena was struggling with health issues<\/a>. After having a hysterectomy<\/a>, the 39-year-old reached out to Nick “with impunity, saying l’d just had major surgery and I needed to be cheered up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c’Meet me by the bridge? Bring me a stuffed animal?’\u201d Lena remembered asking her middle school flame while Jack was away on tour, according to the book. \u201cI got an answer back in less than a minute: ‘I’m already running.'”<\/p>\n

So, when the two met up, Lena said she “let my lips wander slowly across his face and onto his.\u201d <\/p>\n

And their dalliance ended up progressing into a dayslong affair. The Too Much creator remembered telling Nick at the beginning of their affair, \u201cI’ve been through something awful. I don’t want to talk about it, but I need you to f–k me and I need you to do all of the work.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

And they also arranged a clandestine hookup at her parents\u2019 house when they were out of town. <\/p>\n

\u201cNick met me at their place, where he went down on me while I watched the steady flames hiss in the electric fireplace,” she wrote. “Afterward, we took a bath, washing each other’s hair at the same time, then f–ked again on top of my parents’ quilt. He looked deep in my eyes as he moved over me and said: ‘You’re making me want to cut the brakes on your boyfriend’s car.'”<\/p>\n

But when Jack, 42, finally returned home from tour, Lena found herself settling back into her old ways. She detailed crawling into bed with him after another rendezvous with Nick, hoping that the affair would somehow help restore her broken relationship.<\/p>\n

“I tried to calm my sheer terror by telling myself I was finally home from a bad dream,” she wrote. “I had fixed myself, proved I could be the freaky sexy lively young woman he fell in love with. I had exorcised the demon. In a way, I had f–ked Nick for both our sakes, to make our house a home again. It would all be better now. I fell asleep to the rhythm of Jack’s breathing, like I had been doing for almost six years.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it wasn\u2019t enough and Lena confessed to Jack that she was unhappy in the relationship the next morning. It was then that they officially called it quits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe put our foreheads together and wept,\u201d she recalled of the 2018 breakup. \u201c’No matter what happens,’ I said, ‘you will always be my first great love.’ ‘And you’ll be mine,’ he wept.”<\/p>\n

Following her split from the musician, Lena was briefly engaged to Nick but they ended their whirlwind romance towards the end of 2018, she previously told Cosmopolitan UK<\/a>. In September 2021, she married musician Luis Felber<\/a> less than a year after going public with their relationship.<\/p>\n

As for Jack, he married Margaret Qualley<\/a> in August 2023.<\/p>\n

Nikki Glaser<\/p>\n

\"<p>Nikki<\/p>\n

The comedian shared that she has a “hot husband” fetish<\/a>, in which she finds pleasure from her partner being in a sexual relationship with other people, with her on-and-off boyfriend Chris Convy.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t really have a boyfriend before that,” she said on the Call Her Daddu podcast 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.” <\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Tim Gunn<\/p>\n

\"<p>Tim<\/p>\n

The former Project Runway mentor shared in February 2026 that he has been celibate for more than four decades<\/a> after a devastating breakup.<\/p>\n

“One of the things that he told me that night was that he’d been sleeping with just about everything that walked by,” he told Chelsea Handler on her podcast Dear Chelsea<\/a>. “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.”<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

But whenever he found himself getting closer to someone new, he would be taken back to that traumatizing chapter in his life.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Jelly Roll<\/p>\n

\"<p>Jelly<\/p>\n

The country singer confessed in December 2025 that his sex life with wife Bunnie Xo was “horrible” before his 200-lb. weight loss.<\/p>\n

And it wasn’t because of her, as he noted on the Joe Rogan Experience<\/a> podcast, “Dude, I married a f–kin\u2019 big-t-tty, blonde, beautiful woman, dawg.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI married the kind of woman that makes you smile when you’re crying, Joe,\u201d Jelly Roll (real name Jason Bradley DeFord) said. \u201cAnd I couldn’t even get aroused I was so big. I was having to play Twister to have sex\u2014left foot here, right foot in the X. \u2018Are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something.\u2019 It was bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooks Nader<\/p>\n

\"<p>Brooks<\/p>\n

Technically, Brooks\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you firsthand,\u201d Grace Ann said on the Chicks In the Office<\/a> podcast in May 2025, \u201cevery time I visited Brooks\u2019s trailer, the trailer was shaking every single time. I never wanted to go in there. I was always knocking.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Brooks, who had freshly broken up with estranged husband Billy Haire, she joked, \u201cThe trailer thing was probably why we didn\u2019t win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooke Shields<\/p>\n

\"<p>Brooke<\/p>\n

Brooke got candid about her sex life with husband Chris Henchy in her 2025 memoir Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going through all the bodily s–t that comes with aging as a woman even in the best of times,\u201d she wrote in the book, according to People<\/a>. \u201cThe thinning hair and the peach fuzz and the brand-new belly fat and vaginal dryness and the diminishing sex drive\u2014and in my natural state I feel less appealing to him than I ever did before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, she said being intimate can be painful for her now. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katy Perry<\/p>\n

\"<p>Katy<\/p>\n

The “California Gurls” singer revealed how she thanked<\/a> ex Orlando Bloom for doing the dishes during their relationship\u2014and it’s not what you’d expect.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Chelsea Handler<\/p>\n

\"<p>Chelsea<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

But after she received a disappointed text from her ex-boyfriend, she had to set the record straight. <\/p>\n

“I really want to clarify,” Chelsea said on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/a> in October 2023. “I want to go on the record that that is not why our relationship ended.”<\/p>\n

“We did have a lot of threesomes\u201a 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.”<\/p>\n

Heidi Klum<\/p>\n

\"<p>Heidi<\/p>\n

There are no skeletons in the America’s Got Talent judge’s closets, but there may be some slightly scandalous fashions. <\/p>\n

“It’s a big closet,” she says of the space she’s dubbed her sex closet<\/a>. “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.”<\/p>\n

She even revealed that her daughter Leni Klum accidentally encountered the space. <\/p>\n

“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.'”<\/p>\n

John Cena<\/p>\n

\"<p>John<\/p>\n

John shared a behind-the-scenes look <\/a>into what filming a sex scene is really like.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.'”<\/p>\n

Shailene Woodley<\/p>\n

\"<p>Shailene<\/p>\n

Despite describing herself as a “very sexual person,” Shailene has shared she has some serious “beef” with porn<\/a>, naming it the “junk food” of pleasure. <\/p>\n

“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\u2019s such a performance instead of true intimacy, vulnerability and connection.”<\/p>\n

“Pleasure is so important, and we just rip each other off of it because I think we don’t necessarily even know what\u2019s possible,” she continued. “And that\u2019s my big beef with porn is I’m like, ‘You\u2019re selling everybody McDonald\u2019s when you could have like, whoa.'”<\/p>\n

Goldie Hawn<\/p>\n

\"<p>Goldie<\/p>\n

After spending four years with partner Kurt Russell, Goldie revealed her biggest secret for a successful, long term relationship.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to have good sex,\u201d she told E! News in September 2024. \u201cBecause 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ice-T<\/p>\n

\"<p>Ice-T<\/p>\"<\/p>\n

Ice-T revealed the secret<\/a> to his and Coco Austin’s decades-long marriage\u2014and yes, it involves the bedroom. <\/p>\n

“Jungle sex,” he told E! News in January 2024. “That flame has to stay lit.”<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Demi Lovato<\/p>\n

\"<p>Demi<\/p>\n

For Demi, there’s nothing wrong with feeling confident in the bedroom<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“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\u2026what 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.”<\/p>\n

Lisa Rinna<\/p>\n

\"<p>Lisa<\/p>\n

After spending decades with husband Harry Hamlin, Lisa got candid <\/a>about how aging has affected their sex lives. <\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Zoe Salda\u00f1a & Marco Perego-Salda\u00f1a<\/p>\n

\"<p>Zoe<\/p>\n

Zoe and her husband Marco have created a code word<\/a> to talk about sex around their kids. <\/p>\n

“We ‘play Legos naked,'” Marco revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a> in April 2024, Zoe chiming in to clarify that the term means “sexy time.”<\/p>\n

But the couple worried that their older twin boys were catching onto the lingo. <\/p>\n
