Stacey Dooley Opens Up About Intimacy After Motherhood

In a recent interview, Stacey Dooley candidly discussed her feelings of obligation regarding intimacy with partner Kevin Clifton after becoming a mother. The couple welcomed their daughter, Minnie, in January 2023, and Stacey revealed that their relationship has become largely sex-less since then.

Stacey admitted, “Sometimes, I mean, you feel obligated.” This honesty reflects the challenges many new parents face as they navigate their evolving roles. She expressed a desire to reconnect with Kevin in a more intimate way, stating, “We need to start remembering how to have sex.”

The couple’s move to Liverpool has added another layer to their family dynamic. Having family roots in the area, Stacey feels closer to her mother and extended family. She remarked, “Scousers bend over backwards for one another,” highlighting the warmth and support she feels from her local community.

Despite these challenges, Stacey embraces her new routine as a parent. “I am going to bed early, at 8pm. I love it, honestly!” she said, indicating that while intimacy may be on the back burner for now, she finds joy in the simple moments of motherhood.

This openness about her sex life is not new for Stacey. Known for her candidness since her rise to fame on Strictly Come Dancing, she continues to share personal insights as she balances parenting and partnership. The realities of parenthood often reshape relationships in unexpected ways—something she is learning firsthand.
