Actress and national hero Shirley MacLaine just revealed the secret to a happy and long-lasting union in her latest radio interview. She gave her answer in just two-words: open relationship. That’s right, MacLaine shared that the key to her 30-year marriage with Hollywood producer Steve Parker was not taking monogamy too seriously.
In her characteristically cool way, she informed listeners that she “Practiced an open marriage. No one understood it.” Her husband lived overseas for much of their marriage, while she worked in the U.S. They had a wonderful relationship, and the actress said their friendship was the foundation for their long and happy marriage. But it was the “freedom” they both enjoyed in their open marriage that she credited for making their love last. Although the only relationship she’s in now is with her three dogs, MacLaine revealed in a different interview that she always enjoyed a very active sex life. “I’ve had an awful lot of lovers,” MacLaine said. “I’ve had three people in one day.” That’s what we call a well-lived life!
Looking for something a bit unconventional? We are all about “active” living here!
