My partner, Daniel, died in 2014 and it was more devastating than I realized; it had a lag effect. The pattern of my life shifted, so I shifted my life from Maine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stockard<\/strong> noted that the move \u201cvaguely coincided with Trump getting elected and the way politics has changed in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stockard<\/strong> is happy with her solo life these days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve lived alone since I lost Daniel and I\u2019m happy being a recluse. I was married four times before Daniel and they all represent epochs of me,\u201d she wrote. \u201cChildren were thought about and, yeah, I think about them now because it\u2019d be great to have someone taking care of me. But hey, children can be just as selfish as everybody else out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-what-stockard-does-each-day\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Stockard does each day\u2026<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLunch is my first meal of the day and I can follow a recipe, but if my ramen doesn\u2019t work out I give it to the dog\u2026 In the evening I cook or make a salad,\u201d she said about her food for the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stockard<\/strong> is not worried about her appearance. She wrote, \u201cIf I\u2019m leaving the apartment I comb my hair, but I don\u2019t have a wardrobe of designer outfits. Well, I do, but they\u2019re all from the Eighties and Nineties. Do I care how I look? Most actors do \u2014 although part of your job is not being self-conscious. But I\u2019ve never considered myself as beautiful. And I\u2019m not a celebrity \u2018tart.\u2019 I\u2019m just me, take it or leave it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPottering is my meditation; moving things from that pile to that pile. I may read and fall asleep around 11. If I can\u2019t sleep, it\u2019s probably just my subconscious clearing out stuff. Do I ever feel anxious? Sure, but that\u2019s the price you pay for getting rid of the garbage,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stockard<\/strong> made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2025\/02\/06\/brie-larson-rocks-a-buzz-cut-while-celebrating-opening-of-new-london-play-elektra\/\">rare public appearance in 2025<\/a> while starring in a London stage play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Posted To:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/daniel-gillham\/\" rel=\"tag\">Daniel Gillham<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/stockard-channing\/\" rel=\"tag\">Stockard Channing<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Credit: Getty Stockard Channing is making rare comments about her current life as a \u201crecluse.\u201d The beloved 82-year-old actress, who will be seen in Practical Magic 2 this year, moved to London in 2019 after the death of her partner Daniel Gillham back in 2014.
