Nick Jonas on removing his purity ring: 'It's just not something I feel comfortable wearing now'

'Jealous' singer Nick Jonas famously wore a purity ring as a sign of chastity when he first rose to fame, but he has now decided to abandon it because it's not something he feels comfortable doing anymore. 

Speaking to HuffPost Live recently, the star confessed that he has grown and changed a lot, and still has values although he doesn't want to wear the purity ring because he doesn't believe in what it promotes:

"This is a real growth in me and not something I'm doing anymore. But I've got my set of values, things that are important to me now at this point in my life and that's all that matters. I've had an incredibly intense journey with faith and religion and my own growth. My belief in God is still very strong and important to me as a person and I think that's all that should matter. I grew up in a church environment and still have love for the church."

Jonas went onto add that his personal relationship with God is what's the most important to him now and not the perception the public has about him or how he chooses to live his life: "What's important now is my relationship with God, and that I not judge and that I not be judged."
