Is saving your virginity old-fashioned, or an awesome aspiration and gift for the person you love? No matter where you fall on the sex-before-marriage debate, here are nine celebrities who waited until they tied the knot before going all the way.
Jessica Simpson - Age 22
![]()
Jessica Simpson, the singer/songwriter/actress of Daisy Dukes fame, saved her virginity until she was 22. That's when she married her first husband, Nick Lachey, in 2002. She said, "I had a body made for sin, but I was never a sinner." She added that the best thing about saving herself for marriage was the challenge, "and proving you can do it." Their marriage later collapsed and they divorced (Nick went on to marry Vanessa Lachey). Jessica married her second husband, Eric Johnson, in 2014.
Tina Fey - Age 24

Comic sweetheart and sexy geek icon Tina Fey waited until her marriage at age 24 before she gave up the goods. She joked that she waited because of Christian values and being homely. Of course, she's famous for her impersonation of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Lots of people find Sarah Palin hot, so Tina might've just been a little hard on herself.
Meagan Good - Age 30

Meagan Good, actress in such films as "Think Like a Man" and "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," is another hottie who waited until marriage before giving up the goods. She was 30 when she married Seventh-Day Adventist preacher and Hollywood exec DeVon Franklin. She said, "They think I'm married to a pastor, which means we have a congregation...I mean, who knows we might, but my husband, he loves me for me, every part of me." Maybe some things are worth the wait.
Tamera Mowry - Age 29
![]()
"Sister, Sister" star Tamera Mowry (not to be confused with her identical twin, Tia) kind of held onto her V card until she was married at 29 to Adam Housely. She did admit to having sex out of wedlock, but decided to wait until she was officially married before she'd have sex again.
Carrie Underwood - Age 27
![]()
Former "American Idol" winner and country songstress of "Before He Cheats," Carrie Underwood allegedly remained pure until her marriage to hockey player Mike Fisher in 2010. So, is patience a virtue or just a road trip to frustration?
Julianne Hough - Still a Virgin?
![]()
Julianne Hough, one half of the brother-sister dancing duo on "Dancing With The Stars," grew up in a strict Mormon home and described it as: "No sex before marriage, no drinking, no caffeine, no smoking, no swear words, no R-rated movies." She told the New York Post, "It was difficult because people thought I was this unicorn. People wanted to know about me and why I didn't do the things they did. But now it's all gone to hell!" She's not a practicing Mormon anymore, and she did date Ryan Seacrest, so is she still a virgin? You make the call.
Leelee Sobieski - Age 26
![]()
Leelee Sobieski rose to fame with her appearance in the Tom Cruise flick "Eyes Wide Shut." She's worked on and off again since then. She saved her purity until she wed fashion designer Adam Kimmel in January 2009. She said, "'I guess 26 is kind of old to lose your virginity, but it was important to me that I remained a virgin until after I was married...it wasn't for any religious reasons or anything like that, but simply because, to me, my virginity was the most precious gift that I could ever give to a man, and I wanted to be sure I was giving it to the right man."
Adriana Lima - Age 27
![]()
There is some delicious irony that while Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima exuded sex appeal on the catwalk and commercials, she was refraining from it in her personal life. Well, at least the Biblical definition, but possibly not Bill Clinton's definition. She waited until she was 27 before she went full-force with NBA player Marko Jaric.
Ali Landry - Born Again Virgin
![]()
Okay, maybe this is a cheat, because former Miss USA Ali Landry was technically not a virgin when she married her second husband, Alejandro Monteverde in 2006. (Her first husband is "Saved By The Bell" alum Mario Lopez.) But she did go born-again-virgin on Alejandro and waited until their nuptials to share herself again.
