“We had a great relationship, broke up, got back together again after three years. And that should have been a delicious time for me of revelling in it and feeling proud and free because I was in love,” she recalled.
The pair dated while attending Princeton University in the ’80s, by which time Shields had already starred as a young actress in the controversial films “Pretty Baby” and “The Blue Lagoon”.
“But it was as if I was just paralyzed from shame, thinking everybody was going to know, thinking of letting my fans down because I had professed one thing,” Shields said, explaining that at the time, “I was the most famous virgin in the world.”
