Lady Gaga



The Poker Face singer put herself under a sex ban back and shared details back in 2010.

During a tour for MAC’s Viva Glam campaign, Gaga said that she “couldn’t believe she was saying this” but revealed she “doesn’t have sex”.

She continued: “It’s okay not to have sex, it’s okay to get to know people. I’m celibate, celibacy’s fine.”

Nicki Minaj



The rapper dated Nas back in 2017 and opened up about their sex life – or lack thereof – on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

She said: “I’m just chillin’ right now. I’m celibate. I wanted to go a year without dating any man. I hate men!”

Justin and Hailey Bieber



In a Vogue interview, Justin opened up about his sex life with wife Hailey Bieber.

The Baby singer admitted that he had been in a “self-imposed tenure of celibacy” for over a year and said he felt like he had “a legitimate problem with sex”.

Due to this, the couple decided to keep up the celibacy until they were wed.

Mariah Carey



Amid her whirlwind romance with Nick Cannon back in 2008, Carey decided to abstain from sex until the pair were wed.

It was a mere six weeks before the duo finally tied the knot but Mariah also clarified that the no sex rule didn’t mean they weren’t physically intimate with each other.
