6 Celebrities Who Were Celibate

Whether it be for religious or personal moral beliefs, more and more celebrities are choosing abstinence. You may be shocked to learn that the following stars waited until marriage to go all the way.

1. Adriana Lima

Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima held onto her virginity until she married Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric at age 27. When asked her about her choice in an interview she said, “You have to stick up for your beliefs. Just follow your own values,” Lima is a devout Roman Catholic.

2. Megan Good

“Our wedding night will be the first time we’re actually together,” said Megan Good in reference to her abstinence vow. Good, known for her roles in Jumping the Broom andThink Like a Man, waited until she married preacher DeVon Franklin to go all the way. The pair recently wrote a book titled “The Wait” detailing their romance and tricks on how to stay out of the bedroom.

3. Nick Cannon

In December of 2015 Cannon admitted on The Ellen DeGeneres show that he is giving abstinence a try. "I'm being celibate; I'm trying to work on myself," said Cannon. The decision was made after his divorce from Mariah Carey.

4. Tim Tebow

NFL player Tim Tebow has been very open about his religious beliefs and his choice of abstinence until marriage. Rumors have circulated this girlfriend of last year, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, dumped him because he refused to break his vow of chastity for her.

5. Russell Wilson

Tebow is not the only NFL player making the celibate move. Russell Wilson has announced his decision to remain abstinent with current girlfriend Ciara. "We're not going to be perfect, by any means. But God's anointed both of us and He's calling for us to do something special," says Wilson.

6. Lisa Kudrow

Lisa Kudrow, most known for her role as Phoebe on the show Friends, also waited until marriage. “My virginity was something I had decided was very precious, something that I owned, to give away. It was an honor I was bestowing on a young man and he had to be worthy of it," she said. Kudrow has never admitted that her decision was made due to religious reasons.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.
