"Doritos Girl" and former Miss USA Ali Landry earned an incredible amount of sympathy from ladies across the nation back in '04 after she found out that BF of six years and DH of several weeks Mario Lopez had cheated on her just days before they said "I do." But that was then, and now, Landry's happily married to director Alejandro Monteverde, and I guess in an effort to promote her new show, Hollywood Girls Night, the 38-year-old is dishing about what she and Monteverde were missing when they wed: A sex life.
Yup. Landry recently told Wendy Williams, "Because of the situation I was in before, I was just treading lightly, and did not want to make any mistakes in this relationship. We abstained from having sex until we got married."
Give. Me. A. Break.
First of all, doesn't Landry realize you can't be a "virgin" twice? Ha. Second, I understand the woman was burned all sorts of badly, and she didn't want to "make any mistakes," but NOT having sex before you make a life-long commitment to be someone's spouse sounds like the biggest mistake I could ever imagine a man or woman making! As Samantha Jones once put it when counseling Charlotte after she waxed poetic about waiting until her wedding day to have sex with first hubby Trey, "Honey, before you buy the car, you take it for a test drive!"
It beyond annoys me that Ali's implying that if she had done the nasty premaritally with her now-husband, that would have somehow been a misstep. Crazy! Sorry, most of us prefer to have solid info about what our sex life is going to look like -- i.e. will it be satisfying, enjoyable, kinky, frequent enough?, etc. -- over the next 50+ years.
Okay, even though we are now in the 20th century and not the 12th, I realize there are people who have their reasons for waiting until after they wed, and usually that has to do with religion. Sure, that's a couples' personal decision. But I do wonder if said couples realize there could be MAJOR consequences to being clueless about compatibility between the sheets. No matter what virginity-lovin' fairy tales we were brought up on, sex isn't automatically amazing because you're having it with a spouse. You could love someone and still have lacking sexual chemistry or have to work on getting what you want in bed. I can think of lots o' disappointing scenarios.
Ah, well. Hopefully, Ali and Alejandro are doing just fine. They do have two kiddos, so I guess we can safely assume they do have sex. Good for them. But something tells me everything would have been more than a-okay had they gotten it on well before walking down the aisle.
Here's Ali talking to Wendy ...
What do you think about waiting to have sex until after you're married -- mistake or magical?

Not everyone spreads their legs and jumps into bed with their significant other right off the bat. There are those who still believe that sex is something that should be saved for the marriage bed.
I did the same thing with my now husband. My exhusband? I shacked up with him for two years before we got married...and our marriage didn't last 3 years. Me and my current forever DH will celebrate our 13th anniversary on June 18th.
So, spread em for every Tom, Dick and Harry you date if you want....but dont knock someone else because their view is different from yours...and evidently HE didn't mind. He married her, didn't he?
Wow...I didn't wait before marriage because husband and I lived together first but man are you mean! I see nothing wrong with wanting to wait. And just because you have sex before marriage doesn't mean that your sex life can't change after it. Life happens, kids happens, all kinds of "things" happens that change peoples sex drive and/or desires. I think it's great that her husband was able to respect her enough to let her work on her fears and assure her that he truly loved her.
No, you can't become a virgin again by abstaining from sex, but she felt she was burned before and wanted to take it slow. He loved her enough to understand her feelings and respect them. I am fairly sure that you know if the chemistry is there without having sex.
so, because a woman makes a decision on what her sexual comfort level is in her own relationship you have the right to an opinion?
let me be clear, i agree with you that for me- i need to know what i'm signing up for. however, i stopped having sex 3 years ago for the exact reasons she did- missteps in the past left me gun shy and needing more assurances than before. it happens that i havent had a relationship of note since, so its been a little longer than planned- but there is nothing wrong with slowing down the cart to make sure you get it right if thats what you need. bring it down a notch!
That was HER decision for HER relationship. What a mean, snarky, judgy article.
