No wonder no one wanted to put a ring on it before! Comments made by Beyonce in an interview with a British newspaper have led some to speculate that B might have held onto her V-card until she met Jay-Z. Personally, I refuse to believe that Hov was willing to add a twenty-something virgin to his list of b!tch-less problems, but, here, judge for yourself:

"People would be surprised as to the lack of experiences I've had," Beyonce said in the interview. "When I was 12, 13, I had my first boyfriend, and he was my boyfriend til I was 17. Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend - we didn't live together, we didn't, you know...That was my only experience with a guy, and since then I've only had one other boyfriend in my life - Jay."
OK, she didn't come right out and say it, but if she only had one other boyfriend, and they "didn't, you know..." well then, there's still reasonable doubt, but I guess Jay was the first one to see the blueprint. Look, I'm resorting to cheesy Jay-Z album puns, because this couple is hard to make fun of and intensely private. Even though she's been linked to everyone from Mos Def to Kobe Bryant to rival rapper Nas in her pre-Jay days, I would actually believe that Beyonce didn't give it up, as all of those relationships (if that's even what they were) lasted for like a day. What I find hard to believe is that B would spill such a private detail to the press. Although, if it's true, ya gotta give her props. Losing your virginity to a world famous bajillionaire in the south of France is slightly better than giving it up to a sweaty sophomore in the back of a Honda. Beyonce 1, You 0.
