Celebrities Who’ve Never Been Married
When it comes to marriage, Leonardo DiCaprio takes a laissez-faire approach. The actor, who has dated quite a few well-known models including Gisele Bündchen and Bar Refaeli, told Parade: “That time will come when that time comes. The truth is, you can’t predict marriage. You can’t plan it. It’s just going to happen when it happens.”
Wise words, Leo.
According to media mogul Oprah Winfrey, the reason her 30-plus year-long relationship with partner Stedman Graham has been so successful is because the two never married.
“His interpretation of what it means to be a husband and what it would mean for me to be a wife would have been pretty traditional, and I would not have been able to fit into that,” she explained to Vogue in 2017.
“Marriage to me is not that important,” Charlize Theron told Howard Stern in 2017. “I want to have a partner and have a monogamous long-term relationship, I really do. But I don’t need to have a wedding. My heart and my life and how I am with that guy is going to be exactly the same. I don’t need the party. I don’t need the white dress.”
The actress was in a 9-year relationship with actor Stuart Townsend before splitting up in 2010. Since then, she has adopted two children on her own: Jackson, 6, and August, 2.
Friends actor Matthew Perry has romanced actresses like Heather Graham, Julia Roberts and Lauren Graham but has never tied the knot.
In 2009, Perry told the UK’s Daily Mail, “Life has changed so much over the last few decades. There used to be a feeling that once you were 30, you had to be married with children and a house… and here I am, nearly 40, with none of that. But I’m hoping that will change. I’m a pretty happy guy, who is looking for someone who enjoys having a good time. I’m hoping it will all work out for me in the end.”
Latina pop singer Shakira and Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué have eight years under their belts, but are in no rush to get married. While she hasn’t completely ruled out marriage in the future, she stated in an interview in 2014 that they don’t feel a need to get hitched.
“We already have what’s essential, you know?” The pop star said. “We have a union, a love for each other, and a baby. I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them. But if I’m ever going to get married, he’s the one.”
The couple now have two children together: Milan, 5, and Sasha, 3.
Although Owen Wilson has kept his lips zipped on his private life, some have described the Wedding Crashers star as an “eternal bachelor.” He has two children with different mothers but has never gotten married. He has also been in relationships with Kate Hudson and Sheryl Crow.
When asked by Elle magazine in 2009 to explain in a few words why he’s never been married, John Cusack replied simply, “Society doesn’t tell me what to do.”
The Say Anything actor has been linked to a variety of high-profile actresses but hasn’t ever popped the question.
