Mariah Carey:
Mariah Carey and her ex-husband Nick Cannon may not have been virgins when they met, but they did decide not to sleep together until they tied the knot. Mariah and Nick connected on her music video ‘Bye Bye’ and were married six weeks later in 2008.
Carey was already divorced at that time, but because of their beliefs, the couple made the decision to hold off physical intimacy in order to make their wedding night more special. This might explain why the pair were in such a rush to get hitched.
Tamera Mowry-Housley:
While both Tia and Tamera Mowry were raised in the same religious household, it was Tamera who chose to make the commitment to purity. In a 2013 radio interview with Hot 97, Tamera admitted that she waited until she was 29 to lose her virginity to her husband Adam Housley.
The former child star opened up about the fact that she lost her virginity when she was 29 and then felt guilty about it. That was she decided to remain celibate until marriage.
Teresa Giudice:
This former inmate has endured more scandal than most celebrities. Since the 2009 premiere of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey,’ Giudice has been known to flip tables, call people names and even spend time in the slammer. But what fans do not know is that the frequently foul-mouthed and aggressive star has a surprisingly old-fashioned love story.
Teresa revealed to Style Magazine in 2012 that she remained pure until her 1999 nuptials to husband Joe. If you do the mental math, you will realize that the reality TV veteran was a virgin until she was 27 years old.
Jessica Simpson:
Jessica and her ex hubby decided to make most aspects of their marriage public when they filmed their popular MTV reality show between 2003 and 2005. Fans watched the couple argue over money, hosts parties and engage in discussions.
At the time, Jessica revealed that staying chaste until her wedding was one of her proudest achievements. In fact, she was often described as the world’s most famous virgin until her wedding in 2004. It seems like her late start didn’t hold her back though. Simpson’s ex John Mayer famously said sleeping with her was like a napalm.
Tina Fey:
The comedy writer can make fun of herself even when it comes to the awkward topic of virginity. The former SNL writer told David Letterman that abstaining until the age of 24 wasn’t exactly a choice and joked that she couldn’t give it away.
Fey who was the brain behind the unbreakable ‘Kimmy Schmitt’ admitted that her husband Jeff Richmond, the father of her daughters, is the only man she has been intimate with. She said she decided to remain chaste until marriage as a result of her good Christian values.
Kevin Jonas:
Kev might not be the only joke bro to sport a purity ring, but he was ultimately the only one to keep the promise. In 2009, the former band member tied the knot with his partner Danielle Deleasa at the age of 22. But the former reality star stuck with his long-standing principles and waited until after the wedding before getting intimate.
The couple starred in a reality show that only lasted a year, but their relationship has remained ever stronger.
Julianne Hough:
The blonde beauty has wowed the entertainment world with her dancing skills, but the former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ pro spoke out in 2008 about a certain physical activity she would not be partaking in. Julianne told CosmoGirl that she planned on remaining a virgin until marriage because it would strengthen her bonds with the one she loves.

Hough hasn’t spoken out about whether she kept her promise, but since her 2017 wedding to Brooks Laich, it’s easy to assume that the actress has done it by now.
Ciara and Russell Wilson:
Up until their incredible Peckerton Castle wedding in 2016, this famous couple practiced restraint in the bedroom. Ciara told Cosmopolitan South Africa that she and her beau agreed to keep things PG until the knot was tied.
She explained that through abstinence, they were focusing on developing the foundation of their relationship and becoming close friends. The couple must have made up for lost time because the singer and football player welcomed a daughter less than a year after their nuptials.
Carrie Underwood:
Carrie Underwood let Jesus take the wheel when it came to her virginity. In fact, the Christian singer stayed chaste until she was 26 years old. The American Idol alum made the leap and married hockey pro Mike Fisher in July of 2010.
Underwood shared her purity plans with Slate Magazine in 2007, telling the magazine that she was intent on following through with her promise to God. In 2012, the happy couple talked faith in a candid interview with Oprah. The country darling may have had to wait a while, but she clearly found her perfect match.
Audriana Lima:
The sultry Victoria’s Secret model is considered to be one of the most attractive women alive and yet she remained chaste even after starting her modeling career. The Brazilian beauty is a devout Catholic and chose to remain committed to her beliefs. The model told GQ: “They have to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me and some things are worth waiting for.”
She finally ended her chastity when she made it to the altar with her ex-husband and basketball player, Marco.
