Tyler Lockett says he was a virgin until 30: 'I waited until marriage'
Tyler Lockett shocks fans with confession, he remained a virgin until 30 In a league where headlines are often about flashy lifestyles and wild drama, Tyler Lockett just made waves for the exact opposite reason. The former Seahawks Pro Bowl wide receiver, now with the Tennessee Titans, revealed that he was a virgin until age 30, a decision he made out of deep Christian conviction. Lockett shared that he waited until marriage to have sex, staying true to his values despite being a millionaire athlete in the NFL spotlight. Tyler Lockett says his faith led him to stay celibate until marriage While speaking candidly on a recent podcast, Lockett didn't shy away from the personal details. He revealed that he saved himself for marriage because of his religious beliefs and followed through on that promise to himself even after fame, money, and attention came calling. 'I waited until marriage,' he said. 'I wanted to honor God, and that's what I believed was right.' In an environment where temptation is everywhere, Lockett's choice stood out not just for what it was, but for how long he kept it quiet. 'People around me knew,' he added, 'but I never made a big deal out of it.' Let's be real, being a good-looking, wealthy wide receiver in the NFL makes his decision even more uncommon.
