Kate Hudson is getting real about love, intimacy and keeping the spark alive in long-term relationships.
The actress, 46, opened up on the "Sibling Revelry" podcast with her brother Oliver Hudson and guest Dr. Laura Berman about the challenges couples face when emotional connection starts to dip, and what to do about it.
Kate Hudson got candid about intimacy, sharing how couples can reconnect in the bedroom.
Hudson opened up about how emotional disconnection can affect intimacy in a relationship.
"If things are like not connecting in the relationship, I usually don't feel like I want to have s-- with my partner," she explained.
But the actress admitted she has a strategy for getting past those moments. "That being said, I am also the kind of person that's like, 'I'll just make myself have s--, and I'll feel better,'" she added.
The actress admitted she sometimes has to 'make herself' have s-- to feel closer to her partner.
Hudson detailed how this approach helps her reconnect with her partner.
"So I'll shut that part off and... then once I have s-- and I get that dopamine going and that connective tissue back a little bit, then I can kind of – it actually opens something up for me. Then I'm like, 'Oh, I actually feel more connected than I did,'" she revealed on the podcast.
The starlet concluded with an honest, yet blunt, piece of advice for couples struggling to reconnect.
"Sometimes, I think you actually just need to have s-- with your partner, even if you're not feeling it. You need to kind of almost like get your head around it differently. Because usually, afterward, you feel a different sense of closeness," she suggested.
