Madonna Says Sex Is What Keeps Her Going and Reveals She Regrets Getting Married — 'Both Times!'

Mar. 15, 2025

Madonnais opening up about her life, career — and penchant for sex.

Throughout the nearly seven-minute clip, the 64-year-old decades-long hitmaker provided the same, single-word answer for her greatest guilty pleasure, astrological sign, current favorite obsession, secret to success, life mantra and the act that keeps her going: “Sex.”

Similarly, Madge also revealed her favorite thing to make: “Wait for it… love.”

The “Express Yourself” icon’s love for sexuality also inspired her response to the question, “If you could only wear one thing for the rest of your life, what would that be?”

“My 24-karat gold vibrator necklace,” she replied.

Her favorite snack? “I can’t remember his name. Oh, no! Big d—. I don’t ask that much,” she cheekily noted.

Asked about a life decision that “wasn’t the best idea,” Madonna assuredly said, “Getting married. Both times!”

Finally Enough Talk: 50 Questions With Madonna

While Madonna’s remained friends with Penn, 62, she said her marriage to Ritchie, 53, left her feeling imprisoned in a 2015 interview withThe Sun. “There were times I felt incarcerated. I wasn’t really allowed to be myself,” the performer told the outlet at the time. “You’ve got to find someone who accepts who you are and is comfortable with that.”

Speaking toDetailsmagazine in 2011, Ritchie called their marriage “a soap opera” but said, “It’s definitely not something I regret… The experience was ultimately very positive. I love the kids [Rocco Ritchie, 22, and David Banda, 16] and that came out of it, and I could see no other route to take.”
