Jane Fonda, 87, reveals the item she wears to bed 'because she's single'
Jane Fonda has found that being single at 87 certainly has its perks. The American actress and activist has revealed the item she wears to bed, which might not be what you'd expect. Jane makes different fashion choices now that she's not sleeping next to a man, having previously been married three times. She wed her first husband, Roger Vadim, in 1965 and they were together until 1973. She was then married to Tom Hayden from 1973 to 1990, and Ted Turner from 1991 to 2001. These days, she's enjoying the single life, leading to a surprising answer when asked what she wears at night. 'A flannel nightgown—because I'm single,' the Grace and Frankie star told The Times. 'I never wore them when I was with a man.' Jane went on to describe her everyday style as 'simple', keen to inject more colour into her outfits now that her hair is grey. 'Even I can look good in those colours, and not a lot of people can say that,' she declared proudly. She added that her most treasured clothing item is a pair of yoga pants 'because they are easy to put on and take off and they're comfortable.' Relationship-wise, Jane is not thought to have dated anyone since 2017. That year, she and music producer Richard Perry, who died last year, ended their relationship after eight years together. They also put their Beverly Hills home on the market for $13million (£9.6m) at the time, making him her last known boyfriend. In the years since, she's made no secret of the fact that she doesn't care for another boyfriend. Speaking on the SiriusXM Radio Show in 2018, she said: 'My current and next love are my girlfriends. I've had a good run. I've closed up shop.' Then, in 2021, the film icon confessed to Harper's Bazaar that she had 'come to terms' with an absence of intimacy in her life. 'I don't want to be in a relationship, a sexual relationship, again. I don't have that desire,' she admitted. 'Do I fantasise? Yes,' she added, proceeding to detail her fantasy. 'I'll just put it out there. That I meet a professor or a researcher, somebody in that line who is really capable of loving, of cherishing a woman, so that I could test myself and see if I could show up. I think maybe now I could, but the problem is that, like a man, I would want a younger man. 'Isn't that awful? It's a thing about skin. I would want a younger man, and I'm too vain.' As for past marriages, Jane has long made it clear that her third husband, Ted, was her 'favourite'. After her breakup from the 86-year-old entrepreneur and producer, they remained close friends and attended high-profile events together. However, it was Perry who had the most 'fulfilling' impact on her. More Trending Speaking to The Sun in 2012 while they were still dating, she got a bit TMI: 'At 74, I've never had such a fulfilling sex life. 'The only thing I have never known is true intimacy with a man. I absolutely want to discover that before dying. It has happened with Richard; I feel totally secure with him. Often, when we make love, I see him as he was 30 years ago.' When their separation was confirmed, Perry told Us Weekly that they were still on good terms. 'We communicate all the time. It couldn't be more amicable.' Got a story?

Virgin River makes history with season 8 renewal
Netflix has officially renewed Virgin River for season 8, making it the longest-running original scripted series still in production on the platform. The announcement comes just days after production wrapped on season 7, which had been filming in British Columbia from March to June 2025. With this early renewal, Virgin River surpasses both Grace and Frankie and Orange Is the New Black, which each concluded after seven seasons. The series is now expected to reach 84 episodes by the end of season 8. Season 8 will consist of 10 episodes, continuing the show's established format. While season 7 is expected to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, filming details and release timing for season 8 have yet to be confirmed. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith previously teased the possibility of spin-offs and universe expansion, including a backdoor pilot focused on younger versions of Mel's parents. The creative team has expressed enthusiasm for extending the story beyond the current characters and arcs. Actor Tim Matheson, who plays Doc, noted Netflix's support and the show's modest budget as key reasons for its longevity, stating that the series could 'go on and on.' Virgin River premiered on Netflix in 2019 and has maintained strong audience numbers through its blend of small-town drama and romance. Its steady performance and cost-effective production have positioned it as a long-term success story within Netflix's original programming lineup. Season 8's renewal secures Virgin River's place in Netflix history, solidifying its legacy as a flagship drama on the platform.
