“My parents gave me a purity ring and talked to me about waiting until I’m married to have sex. It wasn’t forced; it just made perfect sense. “It’s going to be awesome to say to my husband that I waited my whole life for him.”

American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has revealed that she does not plan to lose her virginity until she gets married.

The 17-year-old singer, who won the most recent season of the talent show, was encouraged by her parents to wait for sex when she was just 13.
