Celebrities know that despite their untold riches, money can’t buy you love. That’s why they go searching for it, just like us.

Dating apps have been on the rise since 2012 when Tinder launched, and a slew of copies have followed, all encouraging users to swipe left or right on potential suitors. One of the newest to hit the dating market is Bumble where female users have to send the first message. Who says you have to wait for a man to make the first move?

One actress who is all about female empowerment is Sharon Stone, so it makes some sense that The New Pope actress would select Bumble as her app of choice to get in the game. Stone has been married and divorced twice, with as many failed engagements. But that doesn’t mean she’s given up on looking for love. 

Some users on Bumble spotted her profile, but they strongly doubted that the 61-year-old would be on the app, so they reported the profile for being fake. The only problem is, it wasn’t! Stone appealed to Bumble on Twitter, asking them to reactivate her account after it was shut down. 

“Being the icon that she is, we can understand how so many of our users felt it was too good to be true once they noticed her profile wasn’t photo verified,” said a Bumble representative before adding that they were “so honoured that Ms. Stone wants to be a part of the Hive.”

The mom of three’s account has now been restored and we hope she finds love soon!
