As an actor and reality TV star (most recently on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Lisa Rinna has always embraced her authentic self. Now, she’s using her boldness and honesty to talk openly about aging, health, sexuality, and how they intersect in a revealing (literally!) new interview with Cosmopolitan.
Rinna’s confident ownership of her sexuality might come as a surprise to some. She admitted that she grew up feeling repressed, like many did in the ’60s. It wasn’t until she began dating her husband, Harry Hamlin, that she truly embraced her sexuality – a turning point she vividly remembers in Tahiti.
Despite learning to love her sexuality, Rinna revealed that her sexual confidence fluctuated significantly after giving birth to her two daughters. Dealing with postpartum depression had a profound impact on her mental health and intimacy.
After receiving treatment for postpartum depression, Rinna found herself struggling to rediscover her sexuality. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon a pole-dancing class, taught by a fellow actor named Sheila Kelley, that she began to regain her sexual confidence.
Over the years, Rinna’s sexuality has continued to evolve, and she has utilized hormone replacement treatment to help manage the changes that come with menopause. Despite initial hesitation, Rinna has become a strong advocate for hormones, finding them beneficial in maintaining her overall well-being.
