Ex-CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin gets stunningly candid about her sex life: ‘Pretty damn good’

Brooke Baldwin is opening up about her sex life in startlingly candid fashion — declaring she’s “pretty damn good” in bed, revealing four different men recently tried to sleep with her and insisting casual sex was “very much on the table” before she turned them all down.

The former CNN anchor, 47, made the eyebrow-raising admissions in a Substack post published over the weekend, writing that she had recently rejoined a dating app and found herself fielding attention from four men — including one who “used to run a country,” another who “literally flew in just to take me to dinner,” and a third she described simply as “hot.”

“Bottom line? I am flattered,” Baldwin initially wrote before catching herself.

“Hang on. Am I???”

“That’s so old-school-Brooke-I-just-want-to-be-Chosen talking. No. I’m not flattered. I’m… unsurprised. There. There’s the truth.”

The veteran broadcaster, who was previously married to British producer James Fletcher before she filed for divorce in 2023, said she ultimately rejected all four men despite describing herself as someone who enjoys sex.

“What did I do?” Baldwin wrote. “Turned them all down. Every. Single. One.”

“And y’all know… I love sex. If I may be so bold, I’m pretty damn good at it.”

She added that she has previously written that “sex to me is like oxygen” and said she has been upfront that she is “not looking for a serious relationship right now.”

“So casual sex? It’s very much on the table. I’ve thought about it. A lot,” she wrote.

“It could be empowering. It would almost certainly be pleasurable. And I’m a grown-ass woman with choices.”

Baldwin said she nevertheless decided against sleeping with any of the men because she wants to devote her energy to what she described as a larger purpose.

“In this particular season of my life, I care too much about what I’m building to let my energy scatter in a dozen directions,” she wrote, describing that philosophy with a single word: “LEAKY.”

“It isn’t punishment. It’s protection. Protection of the life I’m trying to build.”

She also revealed that she thought she would be getting married this year before a relationship ended.

“Six months ago, I thought I was going to marry someone this year (and I was excited about it),” Baldwin wrote. “Heartbreak has its own timeline.”

The former cable news anchor said she briefly rejoined a dating app after deleting it within days on an earlier attempt.

Part of her profile described her as a “serial monogamist… but taking a break from that for the first time in my life.”

The post is the latest deeply personal essay from Baldwin, who has increasingly used her Substack to chronicle her life since leaving CNN in 2021.

Earlier this month, Baldwin revealed for the first time that she believes she was sexually assaulted after two older men allegedly slipped something into her drink during a spring break trip to Los Angeles when she was 21.

She wrote that two older men offered to buy her a drink while she was alone at a Beverly Hills bar before her memories became “only in flashes.” Baldwin said she later woke up on the bathroom floor of the Chateau Marmont hotel alongside a man she did not know.

The alleged assault occurred decades before Baldwin publicly discussed it.

Baldwin also alleged that her exit from CNN was not entirely voluntary despite publicly framing it that way at the time.

In a 2024 Vanity Fair essay, she wrote that a deteriorating relationship with an executive producer prompted her to ask then-CNN president Jeff Zucker to move him off her team.

Baldwin wrote that she felt the producer had subjected her to “gaslighting,” “manipulation” and “bullying” while saying he would sometimes stop communicating with her during live broadcasts.

Baldwin claimed Zucker rejected her request and that the dispute marked “the beginning of the end.” She later alleged her lawyers negotiated an exit after her agent informed her that “Jeff wanted me out,” allowing her to announce her departure on her own show.

In a statement to The Post, Baldwin said her weekly Substack is intended to chronicle “truth and transformation,” and that her latest essay was about “my heartbreak, this season of discernment and discipline, and yes — for my readers — that includes my sex life. Or, at the moment, my intentional choice not to have one.”

Baldwin said she believes the broader message of the essay has been overshadowed by readers reacting to headlines instead of the full piece.

“Too often in America today, we don’t actually read or listen anymore,” she said. “When did we stop reading an article all the way through? When did we stop listening with curiosity instead of certainty?”

Baldwin added that the reaction from “certain people who clearly didn’t read the entire piece” has only strengthened her desire to return to journalism.

“I plan to get out into America very soon, listen and tell stories rooted in curiosity, nuance, and humanity rather than outrage,” she said.
