Rachel Bilson reveals she didn’t have an orgasm from sex until she was 38

Rachel Bilson spoke extremely candidly about her sex life in a racy chat on her Broad Ideas podcast this week.

The OC actress, 41, who previously dated comedian Bill Hader, revealed she did not have an orgasm during sexual intercourse until she was 38 as she waxed lyrical about intimacy in a conversation with comedian Whitney Cummings.

Bilson declared: ‘Isn’t that crazy?’ as she recounted her experience, but did not reveal who she shared the experience with.

Cummings revealed she was able to orgasm through intercourse in the last year after quitting birth control. 

Bilson was previously in a decade-long on/off romance (and 18-month engagement) with actor Hayden Christensen, which ended in  September 2017. 

Back then: Although she didn’t share specific details, last year Rachel finally confirmed she dated SNL star Bill Hader in 2020 – the pair  co-starred together in the 2013 comedy The To-Do List

The pair share a daughter Briar-Rose, eight. 

Bilson and Christensen have remained amicable after ending their decade-long on/off romance (and 18-month engagement) in September 2017. 

The acting duo originally met playing love interests in Doug Liman’s caper Jumper and they went on to co-star in the 2009 rom-com anthology New York, I Love You as well as Sarik Andreasyan’s 2014 drama American Heist. 

Last year Rachel confirmed her previous romance with Hader, which ended in 2020, the year she turned 39.

The actress sparked speculation of a romance with the Saturday Night Live alum, 44, when they attended the Golden Globes together back in 2020 and has now revealed that the pair were actually dating at the time.

‘[Bill and I] dated two years ago! I went with him to the f****** Golden Globes with him!’, Rachel said during Monday’s episode of her Broad Ideas podcast.

Rachel – who is known to audiences for her role as Summer Roberts on the teen drama series The O.C – was chatting to Aubrey Plaza when she made the revelation and the podcast host appeared to be shocked at the revelation. 

Aubrey said: ‘Are you serious?! I don’t know s***! I don’t know anything!’

While Rachel did not share anything more about Bill specifically, in last week’s episode of her podcast, she admitted that she had been through a ‘really hard breakup’ during the COVID-19 lockdown back in 2020.

She told guest Mandy Moore, ‘I could not leave my house, you know what I mean? I had nothing else to do but sit in it, and deal with it and feel it. ‘It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done⁠, harder than childbirth. It hurt like a motherf******!’

Around the same time, it was alleged by an insider that Rachel – who is mother to seven-year-old daughter Briar with her ex Hayden Christensen – had gone through an ‘amicable’ separation from Bill.

However, Rachel admitted on the podcast that she had managed to move past the breakup and is now ‘looking for the next thing.’

She said: ‘If you actually face it, you can come out of it and be like, ‘OK, I did that and I’m ready for the next thing.’
