Abstinent Celebrities: 12 Famous People Who Publically Abstained From Sex Before Marriage (Or Tried To At Least)
There's a new trend in Hollywood and no, this one doesn't include Justin Bieber's latest mom cut or an expensive pair of Yeezy Boosts. We're talking about sex. Or rather, NOT having set until marriage.
Ciara and Russell Wilson are the most recent big names to say they're abstaining from sex before tying the knot. The chart topper and NFL star have publically detaild their vow to not have sex until marriage mostly because of Wilson's strong Christian faith and beliefs.
Back in July, Wilson told the world that he's putting marriage before sex in a special conference he took part in with his pastor at The Rock Church.
"I run into different people and they'll talk to me about their journey and their relationships, so I think that's been really cool and it's a healthy thing," Ciara told E! News in early September. "It's a healthy conversation we all get to have as adults. I'm not sweating it at all."
But Ciara and Wilson aren't the first are only celebrities who've openly taken vows celibacy, here are ten more.
Jessica Simpson
Baptist born Simpson vowed to remain a virgin until she married her husband Nick Lachey back in 2001. And while she did manage to keep her V-card until the age of 22, it didn't lead to lasting wedded bliss. The couple pulled the plug on their marriage in 2005. (Photo: Getty Images)
Kevin Jonas
While the rest of the Jonas brothers are reveling in their newfound celebrity status as hunky sex symbols, Kevin Jonas remained a virgin until he married his wife, Danielle Delease. The couple is still together to this day. (Photo: Getty Images)
Adriana Lima
She might be one of the hottest angels to walk the Victoria Secret runway show, but it looks like Adriana Lima managed to wait a very long time until finding that special one. The Brazilian born beauty remained a virgin until the age of 27, when she married NBA star Marko Jaric, who she shares two children with. The couple split up 5 years later. (Photo: Getty Images)
Carrie Underwood
This American Idol alumni and country music star managed to hold on to her virginity until she married her husband Mike Fisher, at the age of 26. The couple are now the proud parents of a baby boy. (Photo: Getty Images)
Selena Gomez
The ex-Disney starlet vowed to remain abstinent until marriage, that is, until her ex Justin Bieber came along. Not only did she break her vow with the chart topper, but apparently he played a dirty game of kiss and tell when he told the world that she gave him her virginity. (Photo: Getty Images)
Kirk Cameron
The Christian actor waited until he was 20-years-old to have sex when he married his wife, Chelsea Noble. He's also vowed to never kiss anyone but his wife, even if it is for a film. (Photo: Getty Images)
Jessa and Jill Duggar
This shouldn't surprise anyone, but all of the Duggar children have vowed to remain virgins until marriage. Jill waited for her first time until she married her husband Derick Dillard, last year, and Jessa did the same when she tied the knot to Ben Seewald back in November. As expected, Jill gave birth to her first child in April while Jessa is currently expecting as well. (Photo: Facebook.com/duggarfam )
Tamera Mowry & Tia Mowry
Tamera waited until she was 29 before she had sex with her now husband, Adam Housley. After dating for six years, the couple married in 2011. Her sister and Sister, Sister co-star Tia went even a step further in her celibacy vow by waiting a full year before kissing her husband, Cory Hardrict while they were dating. (Photo: Getty Images)
Sean Lowe
Unlike Bachelorette stars Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe, Sean Lowe didn't do the dirty in front of millions of TV viewers. After having taken a vow of celibacy during college, he waited to have sex again until he married sweetheart Catherine Giudici back in 2015. (Photo: Getty Images)
