This is (or was, if it sold) the bedroom of Sting and Trudy Styler’s New York apartment. They’ve been together for over 27 years (married for 17), have six children between them, and boast a famously healthy sex life.
Their relationship fascinates me because they describe them selves as “soul-mates.” Yet, they met when Sting was already married with children. Trudy was his next door neighbor. When asked to describe their connection, Sting says “I instantly recognized who she was, that she was the woman for the rest of my life.” “I just recognized someone that I just knew who she was immediately.”
For Trudy, it wasn’t as instant, but it was “a feeling that you’ve come home.”
I remember Jerry Sienfeld saying the same thing about Jessica – that when he looked in her eyes, it felt like home.
I’m also curious about what kind of confidence a woman must possess in order to be happily married to a rock star like Sting - a man who tours the world, and can have sex with just about any woman he chooses. Personally, I’d find it hard, but Sting swears he’s a serial monogamist. He also says about Trudy: “I want to die with this woman still loving me.” (Oh swoon! How romantic.)
In an interview on Oprah years ago, Sting and Trudy admitted openly to having tartaric sex, which included staring into each other’s eyes and making out for hours at a time. Good on them! I also admire them for putting those sexy pics up in the bedroom. Nothing like a bit of soft-porn on the wall to put you in the mood.
I just wonder how their poor kids feel about it.
Oh you're so right! The children. Think of the children! When their friends come round to play how do they explain why their parents have disappeared into the bedroom for 5 hours?
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing bedroom though, wow.
And I love that sentiment - about seeing someone and it's like coming home. I don't think there's much lovin' going on at my local Metropolitan Public Pool and gym. But for $60 a year I guess you get what you pay for :)
