For many people, marriage is the ultimate dream. But for celebrities, who have unlimited funds and freedom, we can see how it would infringe on your independence. Whether they’re divorced and currently single or have never been married, here are your favorite celebrities who have all the fame but said no to the ring. Read below to find out more about why they’ve been single for so long.
1. Oprah Winfrey
This billionaire has been unmarried her entire life, but that doesn’t mean she’s single! The multi-talented queen is a triple threat who writes, acts and runs a huge media business. For over 30 years, she’s been with Stedman Graham, and people can only speculate while they haven’t married yet. According to sources, it’s because she wants to avoid a high-profile divorce in the tabloids. Why try to put a label on something that’s perfectly fine as is?
2. Goldie Hawn
Although Goldie Hawn isn’t married, she’s been happily in a relationship for many years. This award-winning star had several famous love affairs before falling for Kurt Russell, whom she’s been with for more than three decades. Although they share children together, they never intended to tie the knot, claiming that marriage is an unnecessary way to profess your love for each other.
3. Lucy Liu
This charming actress has had quite the career and quite the relationship. Once linked to George Clooney, this gorgeous Japanese-American leading lady broke it off before they got to marriage discussions. Instead, she mothered a child through a surrogate in 2015. In several interviews, she mentioned that her schedule was too hectic after having a baby, and while she’s not looking to get married, she’s open to having boyfriends. Today, she’s currently single.
4. Charlize Theron
This South African beauty is considered one of the world’s most stunning women. Besides her acting career, she’s just as famous for staying single. Ever since her breakup with actor Sean Penn in 2015, she hasn’t been tied to anyone and instead focuses on being a mom to her adopted children Jackson and August Theron.
5. Sheryl Crow
This famous singer from California is known for her catchy songs and brilliant smile. She almost had a happily-ever-after with Lance Armstrong, but the two split one year after getting engaged because Crow wanted kids, and the pro cyclist wasn’t ready for that. Instead, she decided to start her family as a single mother, and she’s happily single today.
6. Marisa Tomei
This charming American actress has been with many famous dudes, from Lenny Kravitz to Robert Downey jr. Her most recent partner goes back to playwright Marco Clavani, as reported in 2019, but her longest relationship was four years with actor Logan-Marshall Green. She’s a beautiful woman experiencing success in her career throughout the years — who says she needs a man?
7. Danica Patrick
Patrick is pretty much every man’s dream girl. She’s extremely hot and can drive cars very fast. The athlete previously got married twice, but it didn’t work out. Her most recent long-term relationship was with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and although they bought a house together and it seemed like marriage was in the cards, they ultimately broke up.
8. Diane Keaton
Staring in many Woody Allen films, Diane Keaton has never been married and is still single today. Either she’s extremely private with her personal life, or she really loves being self-partnered because, even after years of relationships with men like Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino and even Keanu Reeves, she’s decided to hold onto her independence.
9. Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore is no stranger to marriage. She’s had several herself, to men such as Tom Green and Will Kopelman. But today, she’s a single mom to two beautiful kids and often shares posts on social media about how different kinds of love besides romantic are important for a healthy and balanced life. Despite having a range of ex-partners, it seems like Barrymore has truly found happiness dedicating time to herself and her children.
