11 Stars Who Opened Up About Choosing to Be Celibate

1. Andrew Garfield & Kate Tomas

Since Andrew Garfield went public with his girlfriend, Dr. Kate Tomas, rumors have been swirling about the couple. In particular, fans have accused Kate, who is a self-described "spiritual mentor" and "professional witch," of using magic to seduce Andrew. Critics also cited the seduction masterclass she once had on her website. Kate recently spoke out about the "horrific accusations," sharing that they were not true at all.

"[True seduction] is not about magic spells or manipulation. It has got nothing to do with how perfect their teeth are -- thank you, Reddit -- or whether they conform to conventional standards of beauty. People that are really attractive are full of charisma because they are authentically themselves and confidently anchored in that," she said on her The Friday Emails podcast.
