Sting and Trudie Styler ‘Are Definitely Marriage Goals' 32 Years in: ‘Still Wildly Attracted'
Sting and his wife of 32 years, Trudie Styler, are more in love than ever, as evidenced by new pics they shared from a vacation they took around this time last year, as a source exclusively tells Closer their famously New-Age lifestyle with working wonders for their marriage and being an inspiration to all those around them. 'They're still just as devoted to their daily yoga practice as ever and it's very obvious that it's helped to keep them both incredibly fit and flexible,' the insider says. 'People love to joke about Sting's love of Tantric sex, but there's a lot more to the Tantra lifestyle than just long sessions in the bedroom.' The 'Shape of My Heart' singer, 73, revealed in the 1990s he and his wife, 71, engage in seven-hour Tantric sex sessions, which caught a lot of attention at the time and had the unfortunate side-effect of oversimplifying the public's understanding of the fairly obscure esoteric yogic tradition to a system used to pump up a couple's love-making game, which The Police frontman himself has attempted to straighten out. Tantra can encompass a lot of different specific systems, as it originally comes from a Sanskrit word meaning 'to weave,' a reference to interwoven layers of conscious awareness that defines the practice. And while the Western world developed an acute fascination with just the sexual aspect of 'neo-tantra,' traditional tantra is complex and can encompass diverse spiritual practices. What many overlooked was that, in addition to the sex, the couple really meant they were putting effort into a deeper connection than what's normally shared via day-to-day conjugal activity. 'If we had seven hours, I'd show you what I mean,' the iconic musician joked in a 2014 interview with The Guardian, while Trudie added, 'We have a great time every time.' The source explains they carry their practice into other aspects of their lives. 'It's a daily practice, even when they don't have sex, they do breathing exercises together morning and night to nurture their connection.' And It's clearly been working. Trudie recently shared a series of throwback pics of them on vacation in the Maldives in March 2024, looking relaxed and happy on a white sand beach. Appearing totally in sync, they strolled hand in hand around the tropical landscape, which the source notes is one of their favorite grounding activities. 'They're both big outdoor enthusiasts.' 'They're always doing something,' the insider adds, 'whether it's bike riding or hiking or gardening, they're very in touch with nature and they insist that's a big part of why they've stayed so full of vigor.' There doesn't seem to be any slowing down in sight for the septuagenarian couple, either. Every year their connection grows stronger, the insider explains. 'Even after all these years they're still wildly attracted to each other, if you didn't know how old they are you would never think they were 71 and 73, it's really amazing to see a couple that's taken such great care of themselves physically and mentally.' 'They are definitely marriage goals.'

Sting's Decades-Old Song Becomes A Hit, Thanks To Netflix's Hottest Show
Sting hasn't released a new album or single in more than a year, but that hasn't stopped him from returning to the charts in the United Kingdom. The music legend earns a new hit this week with a song that's been around for decades, as a timely sync has breathed new life into one of his most emotional compositions. This frame, Sting's 'Fragile' debuts on two separate U.K. charts. The tune starts at No. 82 on the Official Singles Downloads chart, a list focused exclusively on the bestselling tracks based on digital purchases. At the same time, the composition also appears on the Official Singles Sales ranking, which combines both digital and physical sales into one comprehensive ranking. On that tally, the cut opens slightly lower, beginning its run at No. 85. 'Fragile' is now one of only four tracks Sting has landed on either of the U.K.'s main sales-focused rankings—as a soloist, at least. The new hit joins 'If It's Love' and 'Shape of My Heart,' which previously reached both tallies. He also placed on both lists with 'Dreaming,' a track led by Pink that also credits DJ and producer Marshmello. That tune remains his highest-charting win on the two tallies, as it once soared to No. 7 on both rankings. The sudden resurgence of 'Fragile' can be traced directly to its use in Adolescence, Netflix's newest must-watch drama. The show has quickly become one of the streaming platform's buzziest titles, with fans dissecting every detail—including its music choices. One emotionally resonant scene features the tune, which thematically fits the show's heavy subject matter and tone. 'Fragile' is the latest decades-old cut to become a chart hit thanks to a clever sync, which is a trend in the music industry. These are early days for the revival of the Sting cut, but it could go on to become another breakout success, following in the footsteps of recent wins by the likes of Kate Bush and Sophie Ellis-Bextor in the U.K. 'Fragile' initially appeared on Sting's solo album ...Nothing Like the Sun, which was released in 1987. The track itself was issued as a single in 1988 and served as a tribute to Ben Linder, an American civil engineer who was killed in Nicaragua. While the composition once climbed as high as No. 70 on the main Official Singles chart, it never really stood out as a major hit at the time. That's changed, now. Not only has it re-entered public consciousness years after its release, but it's now officially a bestseller on two of the most important tallies that monitor sales in the U.K.
