Brooke Shields
Brooke got into the show business very early: she first started modelling as a child. Later on, she participated in some risque photo shoots that stirred a lot of controversy. 1980 saw Brooke star in the cult film The Blue Lagoon, which featured numerous sex scenes.

Celine Dion
Young Celine met her future husband when she was only 12 years old. The producer and music manager, Rene Angelil, was 38 then! Of course, any romantic relationship was out of the question. The man saw in Dion a talented girl with a great future ahead of her and helped her with her career.
The two started seeing each other when Celine was 19, and several years after that, the couple tied the knot. Celine did not hide the fact that she had never had sex before marriage.
She always said that Rene was her first and only love. Sadly, he died in 2017 after a long illness, and the performer said she intended to remain faithful to him for the rest of her life.
