Did You Know That These Celebrities Held On To Their Virginity Until Marriage?

Hilary Duff

Singer and actress Hilary Duff waited until marriage because "a lot of people don't make [sex] sound that special." She also said, "It's harder having a boyfriend who's older because people just assume. But [virginity] is definitely something I like about myself. It doesn't mean I haven't thought about sex, because everyone I know has had it and you want to fit in," she told Elle magazine in 2006. "But when they talk about it, it doesn't sound special, like you would imagine it to be. It just seems like everybody has slept with each other—you know what I mean?"

Sarah Drew

Drew played Grey's Anatomy character April Kepner, and she could relate to her quite well. Both are devout Christians who avoided pre-marital sex. "For April, the first thing that was revealed was she was a virgin,” explained Drew. “I waited until I was married to have sex so I understood April’s motivations. The writers thought it would be a really cool and interesting story to tell that isn’t seen too often.”
