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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
