Beyonce was virgin until marriage

London, Jan 22 Singer Beyonce Knowles reveals she was a virgin until she met her husband Jay-Z.

People would be surprised as to the lack of experiences Ive had. When I was 12 or 13 I had my first boyfriend, and he was my boyfriend until I was 17. At that age, that was a long time. Ive always been very loyal and a little more mature, femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend we didnt live together, we didnt, you knowThat was my only experience with a guy, and since then Ive only had one other boyfriend in my life Jay.

Beyonce who married Jay-Z in 2008 has revealed in the past that her friendships with women have stopped her from getting tied up in unhealthy relationships with men.

I think I am a feminist in a way. Its not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps its because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships, she said.IANS
