Still shocked to hear Russell Wilson is not having sex with his girlfriend Ciara? You aren't alone!

Just a few days before Joel McHale hosts the 2015 ESPYS, we had to ask The Soup co-host about the biggest pop culture headline taken from the world of sports.

As it turns out, the comedian is almost at a loss for words.

"First of all, he's the greatest quarterback in Seattle Seahawks history for winning that Super Bowl and going back a second time," he told E! News exclusively. "About their dating? I think it's fine."

But did he hear what the champion recently shared with San Diego Pastor Miles McPherson? You know, the moment where he said "God spoke to me" and advised him to take all of that "'extra stuff' off the table."

"Did God actually speak to him or in his kind of devotion, he's like I'm not going to do that?" McHale asked. "He said God sent words to him?!"

For better or worse, the short answer is yes. That's the explanation Wilson is providing us.

"God actually spoke to him? That's what he said? Dang, that's great," McHale finally shared. "Then hey! To each his own. Good luck to them. I'd wear a parka because she is very attractive and so is he."

For those still curious, Wilson says Ciara willfully agreed to wait much longer until having sex with her man. And while it hasn't been easy to hold off, the NFL star is standing by his convictions.

"I ain't gonna lie to y'all now—I need you to pray for us," he told the congregation. "I know y'all have seen her on the screen. If there's a 10, she's a 15."
