Sharon Stone SIXTY, SEXY, & SINGLE NO MORE!

SHARON PREPARED TO CELEBRATE TURNING 60 WITH SUN, SAND AND SOME SIZZLING PRE-BIRTHDAY KISSES

- Judy Kean

What a way to spend the day before your 60th birthday – snuggling up to a hunky younger man while showing off your bikini body on the beach.

But when Sharon Stone indulged in a spot of PDA in Miami leading up to her milestone birthday last week, it wasn’t just the handsome man she was frolicking with or how good she looked in very little clothing that grabbed people’s attention. It was the large, flashy diamond ring on her left hand that had people talking and asking the obvious question: Is she engaged?

Despite the huge sparkler worn on the finger normally associated with engagement and wedding rings, the answer to that question was no, according to her spokespers­on. The Basic Instinct star and her boyfriend Angelo Boffa aren’t headed for the altar.

But the relationsh­ip is clearly serious, judging by the way Sharon was not afraid to show her feelings for the Italian real estate mogul, who is 19 years her junior.

Sharon and Angelo met at the upmarket ski resort of St Moritz, Switzerlan­d, in December. Angelo (41) is apparently based in Zurich, but spends a lot of his time in Ibiza, the Spanish island known as party central. He’s often seen hanging out with the rich and famous – his Instagram page includes selfies with the likes of supermodel and TV presenter Heidi Klum.

His romance with twice-married Sharon has been taking him around the world. They were first seen together in New York in January, kissing at an event to promote Sharon’s new TV series Mosaic. Then, they were spotted spending Valentine’s Day together at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris.

Sharon has previously been married to television producer Michael Greenburg from 1984 to 1990, and newspaper editor Phil Bronstein from 1998 to 2004. She was also engaged to producer

Bill MacDonald – and famously couriered the engagement ring back to him when they split up in 1993. A year later, she called off her engagement to assistant director Bob Wagner.

Angelo is not the first younger man she’s dated.

Eleven years ago she had a fling with

Argentinia­n model

Martin Mica, who was

27 years her junior. The age gap wasn’t the reason for them splitting up, says a friend. “They didn’t share the same interests. Her interests are philanthro­py, politics and activism. He wasn’t into any of that.”

Sharon has three adopted sons, Roan (17), Laird (12) and Quinn (11), and has put her love life on hold in recent years to concentrat­e on them. But she has also been forthright about the fact that she’s after a proper relationsh­ip. “I was told that if I wanted to have a man in my life, it wouldn’t be an arrangemen­t, it would be an actual partnershi­p. And those are hard to find.”

Whether she’s found an actual partnershi­p with Angelo still remains to be seen. That ring could still turn out to be more than just an eye-catching bit of bling.
