KJ Apa Shares He Was a Virgin for “First Couple Years” of Riverdale

It appears that, aside from sing-alongs, the Riverdale cast had other activities happening in their hometown as well.

KJ Apa, who played Archie Andrews on the CW series from 2017 to 2023, admitted that he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about relationships at the age of 20 when the show began.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on August 22, KJ disclosed that he remained a virgin for the initial years of being on the show. He also expressed pride in his religious background as a young Christian man during this period.

Yet, during the production of the teen drama, conversations surrounding sexual matters often emerged among the large group of young cast members, given their close interaction.

In simpler terms, KJ said, “You develop relationships or intimacy with others, which often involves physical intimacy like sexual activity. Subsequently, various events or complications might arise.

Acknowledging that things could get a bit intricate at times, he added, “Working on the set, you find yourself engaged in disagreements with your colleagues.

KJ, who has a three-year-old son named Sasha Vai Keneti Apa with his ex Clara Berry, repeated, “Sex often leads to unforeseen outcomes; it’s simply part of the relationship.

However, he didn’t express any shock about the numerous romantic entanglements, acknowledging instead that such displays of drama are common in shows of this nature.

KJ explained, “In a non-gossipy manner, I believe it’s simply an aspect of our surroundings or circumstances.

Although KJ wasn’t romantically involved with any of his “Riverdale” co-stars, Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart dated from 2017 to 2020, while Camila Mendes and Charles Melton had an on-and-off relationship between 2018 and 2021.

Although their romantic journeys didn’t last long, Camila had earlier mentioned that this experience brought her, Lili, and Madelaine Petsch closer together. Interestingly enough, by the sixth season, they all found themselves single simultaneously.

In April 2021, she shared with Paper that all of us ended our relationships around the same time and went through the pandemic together. Now, due to the significant changes we’ve experienced, Madelaine, Lili, and I have grown particularly close – closer than ever before in this season of our lives.

She expressed, “It’s truly delightful to have friends here; it makes me feel as if I’ve developed genuine relationships.

To put it simply, Brooks’ sister Grace Ann Nader disclosed some interesting details, stating that the Sports Illustrated model and her Dancing With the Stars partner Gleb Savchenko reportedly engaged in activities beyond mere practice of their dance routines.

Grace Ann shared during the “Chicks In the Office” podcast in May 2025 that whenever she approached Brooks’s trailer, it would shake each time. She admitted feeling uneasy about entering and often rapped on the door instead.

Regarding Brooks, recently separated from her former spouse Billy Haire, she quipped, “Perhaps the trailer aspect was what kept us from winning.

In her memoir titled “Brooke Shields Refuses to Age Gracefully,” published in 2025, Brooke openly discussed her intimate relationship with her husband Chris Henchy.

She mentioned in her book, as reported by People, that she experiences various physical changes associated with aging as a woman, even during the best of times. These include thinning hair, facial peach fuzz, sudden belly fat, vaginal dryness, reduced sex drive, and a feeling of decreased attractiveness to her partner compared to earlier in their relationship.

Furthermore, she said being intimate can be painful for her now.

To truly savor the experience, Brooke mentioned that for her it’s essential to have her favorite lotions and ointments, comfortable apparel (instead of sleepwear to avoid any connotations), her preferred pillow, and perhaps a serving of tequila to unwind.

Katy Perry unveiled an unexpected way of expressing gratitude to her former partner, Orlando Bloom, for helping with the dishes during their relationship-a gesture that wasn’t your typical form of thanks.

In a September 2024 episode of Call Her Daddy, Katy expresses her gratitude to Alex Cooper by saying, “If I find the kitchen clean, with all the dishes done, pantry doors closed, it means you’ve really gone out of your way. And if that’s the case, you can expect a special reward.

 

Chelsea doesn’t hesitate to openly discuss adult-themed confessions, and she even garnered attention by revealing that a threesome with their masseuse contributed to her split from Ted Harbert in 2010.

However, upon receiving a dissatisfied message from her former partner, she felt compelled to clarify things.

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in October 2023, Chelsea emphasized, “I’d like to make it clear, I’m stating this for the record – our breakup wasn’t the reason behind our separation.

We did engage in a fair number of threesomes, and while those details are private, they have been made public. So, to clarify any rumors, I want to emphasize that our breakup wasn’t due to me leaving him for the masseuse. That scenario never occurred.

A judge on America’s Got Talent has an area hidden behind her closet doors that contains adult-oriented items, which she refers to as her “intimate closet” or “adult-themed storage space”.

She mentioned during the episode of the “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Show” podcast in September 2024 that it’s quite spacious, and inside there are clothes and various items. It can hold a vast collection – from wigs to outfits, shoes, and boots.

She even revealed that her daughter Leni Klum accidentally encountered the space. 

In a 2024 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Heidi expressed something along the lines of: “She stumbled upon my private space related to gender. She was well aware of its purpose. However, she was with a companion at the time, they recorded it, and they were laughing, leaving me feeling rather surprised, saying ‘Oh my goodness’.

John shared a behind-the-scenes look into what filming a sex scene is really like.

In a segment of Club Shay Shay in August 2024, he expressed that there was no personal or private aspect to it. He emphasized that it was devoid of any intimacy and found the situation rather awkward or uncomfortable.

Reflecting on his part in the 2015 movie “Trainwreck,” he admitted he hadn’t anticipated the nature of the scenes he would be shooting alongside his co-star, Amy Schumer.

Amy is truly heaven-sent,” he went on. “She managed to create a welcoming atmosphere, and then, quite unexpectedly, when I landed the role, they suggested a steamy love scene involving intricate and daring stunts. They also mentioned that most of my lines might not be included, as they planned to focus on this elaborate stunt sequence instead.

Although identifying as a person with strong sexual inclinations, Shailene has expressed her substantial disagreements with pornography, referring to it as the equivalent of junk food for enjoyment.

In simpler terms, she stated during the She MD podcast in September 2024 that the portrayal of sexual relationships in this country often feels contrived, and it’s more about putting on a show rather than genuine emotions, vulnerability, and emotional bonding.

She emphasized the value of joy and expressed concern that people often miss out on its potential due to a lack of awareness. This is her main issue with pornography because it offers a limited, generic experience when it could provide something far more exciting.

Goldie shared the most important factor she’s found for maintaining a lasting relationship after being with partner Kurt Russell for four years – a fulfilling intimate connection.

In an interview with TopMob News in September 2024, she emphasized the importance of having meaningful sexual experiences. She explained that sex serves as a powerful bonding tool and enhances feelings of belonging. People who maintain healthy sexual relationships often sustain these connections for longer periods. However, it’s not solely about the physical act; rather, it’s the emotional warmth and intimacy that it fosters that truly matters.

In a recent revelation, Ice-T shared the key to his long-lasting marriage with Coco Austin, which undeniably includes their shared intimate life.

“Jungle sex,” he told TopMob News in January 2024. “That flame has to stay lit.”

In simpler terms, he said, “Once the spark fades between you two, and you no longer feel an attraction, it’s important to acknowledge and deal with this situation promptly, as it requires attention.

For Demi, the bedroom is where she is most confident. 

In a conversation with the LadyGang podcast in September 2023, I shared that I experience my highest level of self-assurance when I am involved intimately. It’s because being fully immersed in the moment leaves little room for contemplation about what usually distracts or confuses me during other parts of the day, although this isn’t the case for everyone else.

Following several decades together, Lisa opened up about the impact of aging on the intimacy aspects of her relationship with partner Harry Hamlin.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan in January 2024, I shared my perspective on how men’s desires can change over time. I believe this is just a part of life’s natural progression. As a woman, it’s essential to learn to coexist without interpreting these changes as personal rejections. To me, it seems more about forming meaningful companionship and allowing for the fluctuation in sexuality, rather than focusing solely on physical desires.

She added, “Our intimacy is truly remarkable, and it has always been so. However, it might not be quite as frequent as it once was during our twenties and thirties. I believe this level of decline is perfectly natural.

Zoe and her husband Marco have created a code word to talk about sex around their kids. 

On The Drew Barrymore Show in April 2024, Marco casually mentioned, “We spend quality time together…if you know what I mean,” and Zoe added, explaining that their unique phrase refers to intimate moments.

But the couple worried that their older twin boys were catching onto the lingo. 

Zoe shared how they had asked in a jokingly surprised manner, “Aren’t you two about to exchange a kiss or engage in a play session with your Legos sans clothes?” To which she and her companions replied humorously, “No, nothing like that is happening.
