Sharon Stone recently reflected on a painful chapter in her life during an appearance on The Person Who Believed In Me podcast, discussing how a breast cancer scare contributed to the end of her marriage to journalist Phil Bronstein. After doctors discovered tumours, Stone opted for a double mastectomy, believing it was the best course of action despite her initial belief that the tumours were not cancerous. However, her husband's dismissive reaction—he left the room during the doctor's consultation—made her realize the depth of their marital issues. Stone expressed that she felt isolated during a time when she needed support, stating, 'That was the end of the marriage. That was it.' She highlighted the importance of making her own medical decisions, which she felt Bronstein viewed as unnecessary and indicative of her independence. Their marriage lasted from 1998 until their divorce in 2004, and Stone did not disclose her current relationship status.
