Colton Haynes candidly revealed how he lost his virginity at the age of 13 in an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM.
“I lost my virginity at 13 to a girl and a guy,” Haynes, 28, told Cohen. “I’ve never said that before. The girl was two years older than me, and the guy was, I would say, around 16.”
The “Arrow” actor wouldn’t classify the encounter as a threesome but said that, “everyone participated.”
“It was a real first time,” Haynes continued. “It was exciting.”
When Cohen continued to press if Haynes lost his virginity in a threesome the star replied, “We’ve all had them, but it wasn’t that time.”
Haynes, who publicly came out in May 2016, is engaged to celebrity florist Jeff Leatham. The proposal included a fireworks display on the beach and a special recorded message from Cher.
The actor told Entertainment Tonight that he’s letting Leatham take over wedding planning.
“I suck at that stuff, and I do not want to help at all, so he’s gonna take care of it,” Haynes says. “He’s the best. He just finished his biggest wedding of his career three days ago.”
