Former CNN news anchor Brooke Baldwin has revealed she turned down a night with a former world leader in order to 'protect her magic' despite her love for sex.
Writing on Substack, the award-winning documentarian and journalist, 47, said she met the man, who reportedly 'used to run a country', on an online dating site, along with three other eligible bachelors.
Baldwin's dating revelations
Baldwin wrote: 'I recently found myself with the opportunity to sleep with four different men. One literally flew in just to take me to dinner. One used to run a country. One is just... hot.' However, she decided to pass on the offers, despite initially feeling 'flattered'.
She added: 'Bottom line? I am flattered... No. I'm not flattered. I'm unsurprised. There's the truth. What did I do? Turned them all down. Every. Single. One.'
Protecting her energy
The journalist explained that although she is sex-positive, she did not want multiple partners at this point in her life, writing: 'I care too much about what I'm building to let my energy scatter in a dozen directions.'
Despite rejecting the mysterious world leader and other suitors, Baldwin maintained her attitudes towards sex, telling readers she 'loves' it and comparing it to 'oxygen'.
Sex and heartbreak
Baldwin wrote: 'Y'all know... I love sex. If I may be so bold, I'm pretty damn good at it. . . So casual sex? It's very much on the table. I've thought about it. A lot. It could be empowering. It would almost certainly be pleasurable. And I'm a grown-ass woman with choices.'
Baldwin, who divorced British filmmaker James Fletcher in 2023, said passing up these offers was not 'punishment' but 'protection of the life I'm trying to build.' She also wrote about a recent relationship that went sour: 'Six months ago, I thought I was going to marry someone this year (and I was excited about it). Heartbreak has its own timeline', adding that she is 'not looking for a serious relationship right now.'
