Former Tennis Star Claims He Slept With Over 2,500 Women

Ilie Nastase may not be a name your very familiar with, but back in the 1970’s he was a big tennis star.

Nastase won the U.S. Open back in 1972, the French Open in 1973, and he ended his career with a total of 64 singles titles and 45 doubles titles. So definitely a pretty good tennis player.

Ilie claimed in his autobiography that he had slept with over 2,500 women, sometimes even two at a time. According to him he’d never turn down a threesome.

Ilie Nastase once claimed to have romped with 2,500 women – but after further probing the true number is around 300 – and he added he ‘never turned down’ a threesome

Nastase’s claim didn’t go unnoticed, and he was named number 6 on the “Living Sex Legends” list by Maxim.

At the time, Nastase was married to his third wife, Romanian model Amalia Teodosescu – who he had met at a Sting concert in 2004. Upon hearing Nastatse’s claim, Amalia reportedly quipped “she was happy to have conquered such a man”.

The pair parted ways in 2010 after six years of marriage. The dad-of-five has remarried twice – first to Romanian fashion model Brigitte Sfat in 2013.

While speaking with the Daily Mail, Ilie claims the number of women he slept with was exaggerated with the purpose of selling more books. However, he did reveal what the true number is still a very impressive amount.

“No, no, no (2,500 women)! It wasn’t that many. It was exaggerated for my autobiography. They wanted a big number – to make it sell better.” He continued with “I don’t know – 300, 400? I never added them up – it didn’t feel right.“

When commenting on threesomes he said that was his max.

“Oh Yes! I didn’t make it to three,” he told the publication. “Unfortunately, my maximum was two. I usually like to play one-on-one, but if that situation should happen, you don’t want to turn it down. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid!”

This guy has nothing on Wilt Chamberlain.
