because it's supposed to be a statement of paul to intentionally cuck a super model with a refried bean.
But it doesn't matter anyway because they BUTCHERED chani's character for the new movies. Princess auralon(don't remember the spelling) is way more relevant to the galactic opera than chani.

Irulan is never described as the "most beautiful woman in the universe" in the source material. Paul takes her as his bride purely for political reasons, while still dicking down Chani on the side.

Agreed about Chani. She is much more tertiary in the books. The whole arc of her standing loudly and defiantly against the idea of Paul's rise to power is a total distortion of the original character.

her offspring is irrelevant since dune swan dives into the "all things are predestined" view of fate hardcore as fuck. Paul saw the future and thought it was about him, but he'd already served his purpose to kick start the golden path.

Don't think she was a virgin. Paul only told her she can't bear children. And if she did lay with anyone and it became public, he'd eviscerate her and anyone involved in the "betrayal"
