Getting personal. While some celebrities keep their sexual experiences close to their chests, others have no problem kissing and telling about their first times.
In 2010, Joe Jonas opened up about losing his virginity at age 20 to Ashley Greene.
“I didn’t have any condoms, so I went to our drummer Jack’s room — who was my roommate at the time — and I demolished his room looking for them,” he said in a Reddit AMA at the time. “[I] found them underneath his underwear drawer. When he came home, he thought somebody broke into his room because his whole room was demolished.”
The reveal was quite shocking to fans as the Jonas Brothers wore purity rings for years, vowing not to have premarital sex. In 2016, he stated that he didn’t regret sharing that personal experience with the world.
“Life’s too short, you know?” the DNCE singer told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I mean ultimately, I think of myself as an honest guy. There are just those moments in life where you have to be true to yourself and true to the world. … I’m not out to hurt anybody, but I think, ultimately, I’m just telling my stories and what I can say from my heart.”
Another former Disney Channel star that has been open about her early sexual experiences is Miley Cyrus.
“I didn’t go all the way with a dude until I was 16, but I ended up marrying the guy,” the singer said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in August 2020, implying that she lost her virginity to Liam Hemsworth, whom she was married to from 2018 to 2020. “I lied and said that he wasn’t the first so I didn’t seem like a loser. He said, ‘Oh, who have you had sex with?’ And I couldn’t think of anyone, so I just made somebody up that I knew but we had never actually had sex before.”
Other celebs waited until much later in life. Adriana Lima didn’t have sex until marrying Marko Jarić in 2009. “Sex is just for after marriage,” she told GQ magazine in 2006. “I don’t care [what men think about me waiting]. They have to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.”

Brooke Shields: Age 22
The actress opened up in her 2023 Hulu documentary, Pretty Baby, about having sex for the first time with her college boyfriend, Dean Cain, when the actors were both students at Princeton University in the 80s.
“I wanted to jump into the personal relationship and the love and the commitment,” she explained in the film. “The part he was more comfortable with was the sexual part and I wasn’t, so we had to teach each other about the other.”
The Blue Lagoon actress recalled feeling like the “stakes were so unnaturally high” that night because of the continued media attention about her virginity following her fame as a child star. “When we finally had sex, I immediately ran out of the room, down the hall, butt naked, just running. I didn’t know where I was going,” she revealed.
Cain ran after Shields with the duvet cover wrapped around him. “[He] grabbed a hold of me and said, ‘Where are you going?’ He said ‘I’m not going anywhere, I’m not leaving you, you’re the same person.’ He got it immediately and I just cried,” she said.
The Suddenly Susan alum added: “I feel bad for that girl. She was old enough to own her own body, for real. And I just couldn’t get there at that moment… What it boils down to is a sort of a regret for lost exploration and opportunity to understand my personal sexuality.”
Shields previously told Health magazine in 2009 that she wishes she had had sex earlier. “I think I wouldn’t have had issues with weight – I carried this protective 20 pounds [in college],” she said.

Charlie Puth
The “Light Switch” singer’s first sexual partner was a fan he met after a small concert he performed in Boston. Puth was 21 at the time.
“This girl came up to me and was like, ‘Can you sign my chest?’ I was like, ‘I feel like a rock star,” he told Bustle of his first time in May 2022. “I never saw her again. She was lovely, but it makes me sad sometimes because I wish the older version of me was like, ‘Hey, you might want to just make this, like, a little more memorable.’”

Chris Evans: Age 17
The Captain America actor had sex for the first time in 1999, and after the big event, he went home to tell his mom.
“My whole family is just — we’re very open with a lot of things,” Evans said on Late Night With Seth Meyers in 2017. “I raced home, and I said, ‘I did it! I don’t know what I was doing, but I did it!’”

Sebastian Stan: Age 17
The Winter Soldier actor revealed that he had sex in his senior year of high school. He lied when he told his longtime girlfriend, who was also a virgin, that he was more experienced in the bedroom. They rented a New York City hotel room for the occasion.
“I was so freaked out,” Stan divulged on a 2016 conversation on “The Drop-In with Will Malnati.” “We rented out a hotel room, did it at the Times Square Hotel, and had a McDonald’s happy meal afterwards. I swear to god. I will not name her, but god bless her — she’s married now.”

Dax Shepard
The “Armchair Expert” podcast host revealed in a 2019 episode with Gwyneth Paltrow that he was in seventh grade when he had sex at just 12 or 13 years old.
“I lost my virginity intentionally to ‘Love My Way’ by The Psychedelic Furs in the basement of my house,” he shared at the time. “Luckily, we got right to the action and I did not make it to the chorus and then I was just very confused.”

Mischa Barton
In a June 2021 essay for Harper’s Bazaar U.K., the O.C. alum recalled how she lost her virginity after years of feeling “looming” pressure to gain more experience as a young actress who often played sexualized characters. She particularly felt this way after landing the role of Marissa Cooper, who Barton described as a “fast and loose” teen. The Hills alum was 18 when she started filming the show.
“Did I ever feel pressured to have sex with someone?” she wrote. “Well, after being pursued by older men in their 30s, I eventually did the deed. I feel a little guilty because I let it happen. I felt so much pressure to have sex, not just from him, but society in general.”

Gilles Marini: Age 13
The Sex and the City: The Movie actor told The New York Post’s Page Six in November 2020 that he lost his virginity to an orphan named Sonia who was four years older than him. “It was very romantic and scary,” he recalled, noting that Sonia had a boyfriend, but still invited him to her room. “Guess what I heard right in the middle of it? [Her boyfriend yelling] ‘Open up!’ That was my first experience.”

Miley Cyrus: Age 16
The pop star implied on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in August 2020 that she lost her virginity to her Last Song costar Liam Hemsworth, although she also opened up about going “past first base” with girls years before meeting him. “I didn’t go all the way with a dude until I was 16, but I ended up marrying the guy,” she said of the actor, whom she divorced that January after one year of marriage.

Ian Somerhalder: Age 13
The Vampire Diaries alum admitted that he began his sexual journey at 13 years old with a 16-year-old girl. “[I was] 13. It was fun,” he explained on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, Radio Andy, in December 2019. “When you’re 13 and you’re a boy, you know, or a girl, but boys are pretty on it.”

Cara Delevingne: Age 18
The Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets star divulged the age at which she lost her virginity to RuPaul on the TV personality’s “What’s the Tee?” podcast in March 2019. “I only started having sex when I was 18,” she said. “I was quite late.”
Two years later, she repeated a similar story during an October 2021 episode of EllenTube’s “Lady Parts” series. “I didn’t lose my virginity until I was, like, 18,” the model recalled. “I didn’t get confident in sex until way later, but I also didn’t ever ask for what I wanted for so long.”
She added that it took her a while to figure out what she enjoyed after so many years of seeing certain kinds of sex depicted in movies and TV. “After being conditioned to think, ‘This is the noise that people make,’ I remember stopping making any noise or trying to really maintain it, and it’s so hot when you just try and not make any noise and feel it way more,” she explained. “It’s like, ‘Whoa!’”
