"Growing Up Hip-Hop" star Angela Simmons, daughter of Rev. Run, took a vow of celibacy when she was just a young girl. Unfortunately, she was not able to fulfill that promise.
Simmons, 29, bared her decision to have premarital sex while appearing on the daytime talk show "The Real" earlier this week, according to The Christian Post.
"I had a plan. The plan didn't work out," said Simmons, who gave birth to her first child just this September. "And you can't always plan everything. You know, I met the love of my life and we got engaged. And I waited until 28."
Simmons first bared her vow of abstinence seven years ago when she was still filming for the MTV reality TV series "Daddy's Girls" with her sister Vanessa Simmons. She even told Honey magazine that she wanted to take sex out of the relationship so she can get to know the guy better.
"It's not for everybody. Everybody doesn't have to wait, but this is what I have to do in order to get a relationship where it's all good," she said. "I just think that when the sex factor is taken out of the relationship, you really get to know a person."
Simmons subsequently reiterated her promise to save sex until marriage during an interview with "The Breakfast Club," . "No, I'm not having sex until I am getting married," she affirmed then. "So, they are not going to get me pregnant. I'm pretty smart and no one's trapping me."
Because of her strong Christian views, Simmons admitted that she faced a lot of judgment and criticism. However, the reality star said she cares more about God's views more than what other people think of her.
"There's so much controversy surrounding religion, so I just eat it," she told Rolling Out in 2013. "At this point, it is what it is, but I know who I am... and God knows my heart, so I don't take it any further."
