“I’ve been celibate for at least 15 years. One loses track, because it just doesn’t matter — or at least it doesn’t matter to me,” the “Terminator” star, 62, said in a recent New York Times interview. “I have a very romantic relationship with my world every day and the people who are in it.”

Hamilton was married to first husband Bruce Abbott from 1982 to 1989. She wed director James Cameron in 1997 and divorced him two years later.

And though the actress has turned to a new chapter, it hasn’t been without pulling a page from the past. Reprising her role as Sarah Connor in the “Terminator” franchise with this year’s installment, “Dark Fate,” Hamilton disclosed that she was wary about taking on another blockbuster.

“That was my hesitation: Do I want to trade this lovely, authentic life for that? I didn’t want my neighbors looking at me differently. We’re neighbors because of who we are, not what we do, and I don’t want that to creep into my life again,” she said.

Hamilton starred in 1984’s “The Terminator” and 1991’s “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” Both films were directed by her ex Cameron.
