Christina Aguilera, 42, has revealed she lost her virginity “later” than the public and her fans would think.
The chart-topping musician revealed that she didn’t “really have time” to do the deed despite launching her sexy Stripped era in the early 2000s, where she sang provocative lyrics and donned sultry outfits.
She told host Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy site that she was so busy building her career that thoughts of sex and love had to take second place.

She said: “It’s so funny that I gave this persona because I probably was, like, the last person to lose my virginity,” adding: “It was later than you would think, given I was the girl who was doing Dirrty and all this.”

She also posed nude on the cover of Rolling Stone, with just a strategically placed guitar disguising her modesty.
Christina’ had previously projected an innocent image on the Disney show The All New Mickey Mouse Club, alongside the likes of Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling and Britney Spears – but she appears to have made up time with confessions about her love habits.
On the podcast, she said: “I went on tour with Justin… and there were things where I was just like, ‘Why is it okay for him and not okay for me?'”

The Grammy Award winning singer told the Sydney Morning Herald at the time, during a 2003 interview, that she had been consciously trying to rebel against her innocent image after signing for RCA Records.
She said: “The label wanted to push the cookie-cutter, kind of play-it-safe, almost virginal kind of imagery that wasn’t me,” adding: “I really wanted to squirm away from that, because I really thought it was really fake and superficial and untrue of what I was about.”

The Genie In A Bottle said she was “close” with her dancers during her international tours at the start of her career but admitted those relationships did not always end well.
She revealed: “I had certain dancers that were close quarters. You’re travelling a lot, and you have accessibility to only so many things, so it is what it is.”
Adding: “A lot of things where I’m just like, ‘Maybe I should have realised he wasn’t looking at me. He wasn’t interested in me. He was looking at him.’ A lot of things that, I’m just like, ‘Oh, sad!’ I feel bad for my younger self.”
