Warren Beatty, once Hollywood's iconic heartthrob, seems to have transitioned into a quieter phase in his personal life. At 86, the "Bonnie and Clyde" legend, who was known for his high-profile romances, now enjoys a more tranquil relationship with actress-wife Annette Bening, insiders reveal.

The couple, married for 31 years, share four children: Stephen, 31, a transgender son; Isabel, 26; Benjamin, 28; and Ella, 23. Insiders hint that while passion may have waned for Beatty, the couple's bond remains strong. “Warren may have given up chasing women when he married Annette, but that’s not all he gave up. He’s apparently lost his interest in intimacy,” shares a close source. Yet, Bening, 65, seems unbothered by the shift. One confidant notes, “Annette’s off working all the time and her characters fulfill her in a way that Warren never could.”

Their romance began on a sizzling note in 1991 when 33-year-old Bening played the mistress of 54-year-old Beatty in the acclaimed film "Bugsy." Despite his reputation with leading ladies like Natalie Wood and Madonna, Beatty's charm didn't enchant everyone.

Jackie Kennedy, former First Lady, once candidly remarked about Beatty, “Oh, he’s fine. Men can only do so much, anyway,” while subtly alluding to him being “self-absorbed.” Additionally, Joan Collins, the iconic "Dynasty" star, was less than impressed, hinting at Beatty's lackluster romantic prowess. Even Jane Fonda, during their 1960s rendezvous, reportedly questioned Beatty's sexuality early on.

Yet, in the context of their long-standing relationship, Beatty and Bening seem to prioritize companionship over passion. A source reflects on their relationship's evolution, suggesting that “they’ve been more companions than red-hot lovers for many years.”

In Hollywood, where relationships often face the pressures of fame, the enduring bond between Beatty and Bening, even if less fiery, is a testament to their commitment and mutual respect.
