The 44-year-old opened up about the public’s perception of her sexuality last month while appearing on the In Her Shoes podcast. When asked what people would be shocked to learn about after reading her upcoming memoir, You Should Sit Down for This: A Memoir About Wine, Life, and Cookies, she had a surprising answer.

“My sex life,” she said with a chuckle.

The Cut’s editor-in-chief, Lindsay Peoples, who hosted the episode, shared with Mowry-Housley that she was stunned by her answer. The actress told her that’s a common response she gets whenever she brings up sex.

“I remember talking about my sex life on The Real and all the girls would just be like, ‘What?’ ‘Huh?’ ‘You?’” she said. “And I think that there’s this stereotype — because I grew up very spiritual, religious, Christian — that you can’t love sex.”

In a 2016 episode of the The Real, Mowry-Housley revealed she and her husband, Adam Housley, filmed a sex tape, Yahoo Life reports. She didn’t shy away from the details too — she told viewers that she’d name the video “Sweet and Juicy” and that while it was a one-time thing (Mowry-Housley wasn’t a fan of watching herself), it successfully spiced things up in the Mowry-Housley household.

“I’d rather make my own and have my husband watch me … in the comfort of my own home, ” she admitted in the 2016 episode.

Her fellow cohosts, especially Loni Love, freaked out after her announcement. Love almost fell out of her chair when she shared what she named the tape.

Love’s jaw may drop when she reads her former cohost’s new memoir. Mowry-Housley shared with The Cut that she talks in depth about sex and her sex life in the book.

“I talk about the importance of it within marriage and all of that,” she revealed.

Mowry-Housley’s memoir comes as the actor finds herself in a time in her life where safeguarding her happiness is paramount. Later in the In Her Shoes episode, she talked about learning how to set healthy boundaries in her professional life so that she can choose projects that she’s passionate about, rather than those she feels an obligation to do.

“It took me over 40 years to learn boundaries,” she confessed. “It was a big one, especially when you — for work — are a people pleaser.”

Mowry-Housley recognized that no matter how hard you try and please others, “there are going to be people who aren’t happy.” And more often than not, “you’re the one who’s dying inside.”

“I learned that the hard way,” she added.

Now, she’s happy to leave her people-pleasing days in the rearview mirror, and keep her needs at the forefront of everything she does.

“I’m at peace, and I’m going to protect that peace at all costs,” she said.
