Actress Yvonne Orji’s revelation that she is still a virgin at age 39 has recently gone viral after she openly discussed it on Chelsea Handler’s podcast. During the September episode, Handler asked Orji point blank if she was still a virgin, to which Orji confirmed “I am.”
Handler expressed surprise, responding “Oh my God I love this. This is the most original guest we’ve ever had on.” The comedian went on to joke with Orji about the anticipation building as she waits to have sex until marriage.
Orji, best known for playing Molly on HBO’s Insecure, has been public in the past about her decision to remain abstinent until her wedding night. She has shared that it aligns with her faith and desire to honor God.
On the podcast, Orji lightheartedly imagined that her future husband may need “prayers” to handle her pent-up sexual energy after waiting so long. She has largely kept her dating life private outside of a brief 2018 relationship with NFL player Emmanuel Acho.
While Orji’s virginity revelation sparked some viral jokes online, she has also received praise for boldly speaking on her choice. With her rising fame after Insecure and roles in movies like Vacation Friends, Orji aims to open discussion around her values.
