Check Out These Celebrities Who Are Surprisingly Single Or Haven’t Tied The Knot Yet!
Most people plan to marry their one true love, and some chose to live a celibate life. As finding romance itself is complicated, so is marriage. It is a lifelong commitment that entails constant hard work, communication, and lots of patience – these are the very definition of holy matrimony and the reason it is a called vocation. Complex as it is, some people are not up for that.
Many believe that celebrities have the advantage of finding love easier. Good-looking, charismatic, and successful with a high credit score – these are what make celebs suitable for a happy-ever-after. Well, they beg to differ! In fact, they have it harder to maintain a relationship. Their lifestyle and fame always get in the way of their happiness. Living under the spotlight is a grueling place for relationships to exist. Those who carry on a relationship for a lifetime are considered lucky and gems in a rough. As many fail to live up to the demands of married life and experience the tragedy and drama of failed marriages, some take it as a cue that staying single is a better option in life. As some celebs share the same sentiments, here is a list of celebrities and personalities who are surprisingly single.
Coco Chanel
Coco Chanel is one of the most successful women in fashion history. From rags to riches, she has built her name as one of the best couturiers and trendsetters in high fashion. She is the person behind the iconic and famous perfume, Chanel No. 5, and the reason why little black dresses are a must-have in every woman’s closet. Though she became a prominent personality in the past, especially in Europe, with many suitors and dalliances in hand, Chanel never married.
Born in 1883 at Saumur, Loire Valley in France, she lived her childhood in poverty. At an early age, Chanel was orphaned and worked in a bar to fend for herself. Living hard and inadequate, some credits her childhood experience as her reason for not marrying. Quoting her words upon declining a marriage proposal from a duke, she said, “There are lots of Duchess, but only one Coco Chanel” – marks her love for her craft over marriage. Likewise, upon sudden passing of Arthur Capel – her one true love – Chanel dismissed the ideas of marriage but rather enjoyed herself as a free woman.
Anita Hill
Anita Hill might not be a celebrity per se, but she is a famous figure that helped constitute female activism in America. Interestingly, she is an American lawyer and professor. She once worked for several government offices as an attorney-adviser to Clarence Thomas. In 1991, she made a shocking exposé regarding Clarence Thomas’s indecencies and harassment towards her. As the tumultuous and scandalous hearing of the case ended, there were several effects and changes that Anita aided to happen. She inspired the passing of a bill that allowed victims of harassment to claim compensation and women empowerment.
As Anita became a public figure, details of her life became public. From her college degree to her status – it all became a subject of talks and interest. Anita is already in her 50s, and yet she has not been married. In one of her interviews, she explained why she chose to live a single life. Anita said that she has not yet decided whether she will marry or not. Likewise, she is happy and content with her long-term relationship and how it is going.
Brad Pitt
As of this moment, Brad Pitt is still in the middle of a bloody court trial for the dissolution of marriage with Angelina Jolie. While their marriage seems to be the highlight of their careers, the fact remains that Brad is still one of the hottest and desirable actors in Hollywood history.Brad might be already in his 50s, but he still looks good as he did before. Many believe that actors like him can bounce to a new relationship swiftly.
On the contrary, the actor remained single ever since the explosive rupture of his marriage in 2016. Reports say that the split has affected the actor a lot that he needed time to heal and recover. Likewise, his order of business is mainly focused on their children’s welfare and home security. Four years after the split, Brad seems to have moved on as rumors say he is back in dating. He is allegedly secretly dating a German model named Nicole Poturalski since 2020. As his new relationship status needs confirmation, wedding bells probably are far from hearing since Brad and Jolie’s marriage has not yet reached its conclusion.
Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron is one of the most beautiful and elite actresses in Hollywood. Raised in South Africa, Theron pushed her luck in Los Angeles to establish her acting career. As she emerged from being a minority cast to lead credits, she has successfully planted her feet as a credible and versatile actress. Despite her fame, beauty, and success, the 45-year-old actress has been single for a long time.
Theron had a couple of romances in Hollywood and even dated and lived with Stuart Townsend from 2002 to 2010. As per record, Townsend is her longest relationship with and her only boyfriend she lived with. Her most recent relationship was with Sean Penn in 2015, and they reportedly split when Penn asked her to marry him. Theron dismissed it and frankly said that she and Penn are never going to get married. Likewise, she explained that she is not interested in getting married, and it was not an important matter for her. Additionally, she points out that she cannot stand living with another man and is completely happy with her two adoptive children.
Chelsea Handler
In 2014, Chelsea Handler concluded that she is not the marrying type. Proclaiming that she is not for marriage, she points out how she is not a fan of all the extravaganzas of weddings. Adding to her reason for not marrying, Handler admits not being great with kids and suspects that she will be a helicopter mom if she’ll ever be one. Though Handler had a change of heart towards marriage, she remains single to this day.
The comedian and talk show host has been in several relationships over the years. Handler dated Ted Hadbert for five years with whom she lived with. She also dated 50 Cent for a while, and Andre Balazs was her last flame. She once gave up on love and said she is better off alone as she can’t divide her focus between work and relationships. Additionally, she thought that she is hard to deal with and no man can stand her. In a recent interview, Handler has expressed her willingness to try dating again. As she credits her therapy for her enlightenment, she also entertains the thoughts of marrying as she understands now that it can be simple and low-key.
Dana Delany
In an interview, Dana Delany shared that her secret to staying young and looking young is not marrying and not having children, paired with drinking wine and chocolates. The beautiful star is already in her sixties, yet her beauty is as if stock in her forties. Likewise, despite welcoming the idea of settling down, Delany still hasn’t found someone.
During her younger years, Delany has expressed her disinterest in marriage and bearing a child. According to her, she was a product of a broken family. Delany witnessed the terrors of marriage and cannot see how it can make her happy. Besides, Delany is a full pledge career woman. Like her mother, she finds joy and happiness in work rather than in relationships. No wonder why she has good credit reports! Since Delany is now ready to commit, she has opened herself in dating but in no rush of getting hitched immediately.
Diane Keaton
The veteran actress Diane Keaton is among the actors who have settled for a single life. The actress whose film credits are over the top has not been on a date for over 35 years. Her reason might shock you, but she insisted that marriage might not be for her at all.Though she initially wanted to get married, it just did not happen. Some thought that she gave up on love ever since she and Al Pacino broke up in 1990. The former couple reportedly dated on and off for more than a decade.
Despite their seemingly strong attraction, Keaton broke up with Pacino as he was not willing to commit to her. Notably, Pacino was the last man she ever dated, which concluded the said idea. She clarified that Pacino had nothing to do with her being unmarried. In her own words, she said – she never gets asked out on dates – that is why she hasn’t had any relationship for 35 years. Instead, she chose to be a mother at the age of 50 and adopted two children in 1996 and 2001.
Dina Meyer
Dina Meyer is an American actress who gained prominence in the 1990s teen series Beverly Hills, 902010. The 52-years-old actress has a long list of film credits, including her most recent work in Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars in 2017 and Line of Duty in 2019. Though Meyer’s career had flourished over the years of her existence in Hollywood, it was hard not to notice that she seems to be lacking luck in the love department.
Meyer has dated a handful of co-celebs in the past, one of whom was Shane West from 2000 to 2002. The two were spotted in several events together until they went sour and decided to split. She was also rumored to have dated Billy Joel before as they were seen hanging out together. Meyer admitted that they went out on a date once, but things did not progress. After Joel, it seems like Meyer stopped dating as there was no news of budding love for her, or probably she was just very secretive of her relationships. To this day, she is still single with no records of marriage or eloping. As to why she remained single for such a long time? No one knows yet.
Edie Falco
Edie Falco is the third on the list who chose to remain single and fulfill her dreams of becoming a mother through adoption. The Soprano actress has outspokenly shut the idea of marriage due to her experiences. Growing up in a broken family gave her the notion that marriage is not an ideal thing to do. Likewise, she does not think that happiness only comes from being married to someone. For that reason, she chose to adopt kids and raise them as a single mother.
Falco even boasts that she made the right decision as her children have never seen or heard her scream at anyone. Anyways, she doesn’t need any spousal support as her credit reports show that she is more than capable of providing for her family on her own. Though Falco has a shot for love before, with co-star Stanley Tucci, things did not end well for them. Tucci went back to his wife, and Falco was supportive of the idea.
Greta Garbo
The silent film star Greta Garbo reigned the film industry from the 1920s to 1940s. She is among the best actresses during that time, but her personality and lifestyle prohibit her from becoming a fan favorite. Known as a very mysterious woman, Garbo has led a single life – never married nor had any children. Garbo is not a fan of big socializations and publicity events and hates getting plagued by the media.
Stating that since she was a child, she always wanted to be alone and hate big crowds – many took it as a cue of her lifestyle choice. Although Garbo has lived in solidarity, the star had a handful of romances to her credit. She once dated the actor John Gilbert during the start of her career. Gilbert even proposed to her several times, but it didn’t push through as she feared being bossed around. There are also counts that Garbo might be into women, which was one of the reasons she did not marry. According to reports, Garbo had a few dalliances with women, including Mercedes de Acosta and Mimi Pollack.
Harper Lee
Harper Lee is among the most celebrated novelists in America. Her legendary novel To Kill a Mockingbird, published in the 1960s, gained wide acceptance from its readers and became one of the classic novels in American literature. Lee, like many artists, has lived in a hiding and tight home security. Not fond of being out and about, Lee spends most of her time indoors and barely goes to public events.
Notably, she spends much of her life with her childhood friend, Truman Capote – a fellow writer responsible for Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Cold Blood. She has lived a celibate life as there are no known romantic relationships or involvement of hers. As such, Lee’s disinterest in romances and her boyish personality cued people to think that she has a different gender orientation and preference. Likewise, her readers speculate that the characters in her book, Dill and Scout – both eccentric characters of her book To Kill a Mockingbird, are based on her and her long-time friend Truman Capote. Upon her passing in 2016, Lee left an inheritance to her niece and nephews that could give them a good life for the years to come.
Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter, who played several eccentric characters in films, is widely known for her one-of-a-kind and deviant lifestyle. From her fashion choices to her acting techniques, even her choice of relationship has always been different. Helena was never married despite having long-term relationships over the past decades. She once lived with the director Kenneth Branagh for about five years and has not married. In 2001, she met Tim Burton in the set of Planet of the Apes and started a relationship. The two became common-law partners for 13 years until they decided to split in 2014.
As the couple has two kids together, Helena recalled that the experience is synonymous with “divorce” – the grueling pain and adjustment of living arrangements. As to why she has not married anyone is probably a choice she and her partners have mutually made. Probably, Helena thought that it was not wise to make huge investments in a relationship that could eventually go wrong along the way, or perhaps she’s just not a fan of social conformity.
Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau played a big part in American social and political culture through his philosophies and literary works. He authored the infamous Civil Disobedience and has referred to it as a revolutionary piece against the government’s unjust policies. Thoreau also receives credits as a proponent of transcendentalism. As he lived his life around his works and ideologies, marriage has not happened to him.
As per record, Thoreau has not married nor had any children. He is known to live a celibate life for his beliefs in asceticism. He has lived in solidarity away from many people as he lived in a cabin that he built in the woods and spent most of his time working on his pieces. Though evidence shows that Thoreau might have a different gender orientation, it was reputed by a letter he wrote for a woman he once asked for marriage.
Bradley Cooper
It is not uncommon for career-driven people to prioritize their work over their relationships. Many actors, such as Bradley Cooper, are a great example of this. Looking at his relationship profile, it seems that staying committed is harder than building a solid acting career and outstanding financial credit. Cooper has reportedly dated numerous actresses ever since he started his career in the industry. He has been with Renee Zellweger, Zoe Saldana and even rumored a fling with Jennifer Lopez.
Although Cooper tied the knot once with Jennifer Esposito in 2006, their marriage did not last long. Many of Cooper’s fans believed that it would be Irina Shayk that he would spend the rest of his lifetime with, but apparently, the two split in 2019 four years into their relationship and a daughter together. According to Shayk, she grew tired of Cooper’s busy work schedule. Likewise, Shayk felt that he had not given her enough commitment that she deserved to stay in the relationship – perhaps what she meant was a ring on her finger.
Jane Austen

She wrote four books and one work of nonfiction before she laid to rest, Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815). When she was still alive, her works began to gain more important notice.
They were issued in the standard sequence under Ferdinand Pickering’s editorship and written under The Tears of Reputation in 1833. She is excellent, so she would have known that she was effective.

Awards have often left him as a little underrated because of his inability to earn an Oscar Award.

Since 2010, Graham has been with actor Peter Krause.

She is given credit for breaking barriers for bringing hip hop and neo-soul to popular music, breaking barriers for female rappers, and popularizing melodic rapping.
She is the mother of six children, five of whom are with Rohan Marley, the son of music icon Bob Marley. Hill is famously a private person, which is probably why there is so little information found about the lives of her children. Despite having five children together, there were rumors that Marley impregnated another woman as to the reason why the couple split back in 2011.
Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott was born in Pennsylvania in the early-1830s to transcendentalist parents Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail May. She was best known for being the author of the 1868 novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo’s Boys. The majority of her schooling was carried out under the supervision of her father, who headed an ambitious educational establishment in Boston for a period of time, which she called The Temple of Culture and Science. It must have been an honor to grow up with many of the well-known intellectuals of her time, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, among others.
It’s probably safe to say that she didn’t have any time for relationships or children during her time as she put much focus and attention into her writing. She was also one of the credited co-founders of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union located in Boston. She challenged prevailing social norms regarding gender by motivating young feal readers to take long walks and runs.
Lucy Liu
Liu Li is an American woman of Asian descent. According to her birth certificate, Lucy was born on December 2, 1968, in Queens, New York.

Despite having several romances over the course of her career in the industry, the 52-year-old actress never married.
Perhaps the idea of being tied down to a single person for the rest of her life isn’t as appealing to her as it is to other people? Even though she never married, she does have a biological son, Rockwell Lloyd, who was born through a gestational surrogate. It was her choice to raise her child as a single parent. She is in no way not attractive as she even shared that even a ghost was attracted to her.
Ludwig Van Beethoven
At the start of the Classical age and in the early 19th century, German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven’s influence was obvious and great. Historically, no one before or since has challenged the assertion that Beethoven was the greatest credited artist who has completely dominated his era in contemporary music as he did. His works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire.
Even at an early age, his musical talent was clear, and he was intensively and harshly mentored by his father. He published his first set of string quartets in 1801, and his first major orchestral work was back in 1800. It’s a fact that Beethoven never got married nor fathered any children. Though it was said that one of his most well-known piano pieces, titled Fur Elise, was created for the German opera singer Elisabeth Rockel.
Mae West
Mae West was the kind of person who looked like she knew when or how to put the right investments in the right places. It seems like she didn’t consider marriage something worthy to be invested in. West was always known for her breezy independence. She was an actress, a singer, a playwright, and a comedian who spent over seven decades of her life under the spotlight. West remained unmarried all her life and never had a live-in partner either. She loved her single life maybe a little too much.
According to the actress, it exudes sexiness like no other. On top of all her reasons, the main factor why she didn’t commit to anybody is that she needed very little of what people were longing for, which is companionship or simply someone to grow old with. She lived her life just fine, the way she wanted it to be. She gave us familiar quotes like “I never loved another person the way I loved myself” and “look your best – who said love is blind?”
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is one of the biggest names in all of Hollywood, credits to her chart-topping music and one in a billion whistling abilities. She is also one of the fashion icons in Hollywood as the award-winning singer is famous for her gorgeous physique and diva attitude. Even today, the singer-songwriter is busy posting workout videos of her on her social media accounts, which serves as a huge inspiration to people who would want to stay fit. She certainly knows how to take care of herself even at a more advanced age, and she doesn’t need any man to help her with it.
One more thing she’s famous for is her relationship status. People wonder how come the beautiful pop goddess stayed unmarried since 2016. Carey is considering a lot of things, including focusing on her mental health recovery and being a mother. Her first marriage was already hard enough for her when it came crashing down, and her second was more likely the same. The diva just needs some time off and uses this moment to cherish herself.
Marisa Tomei
Marisa Tomei is successful and popular in the field of her chosen career. She once had an investment in production, but later on, she jumped and focused more on charity works. One of the many things we first notice whenever we talk about the actress is why she never decided to get married. The actress is such a big star; she has been in the film industry for four decades. Her relatives and close friends would testify that getting married was never on her mind.
She confirmed in a magazine interview that she is simply not one of those women who list marriage and having kids as something that would complete her life. She doesn’t speak much about her status whenever she is asked, but her work has certainly been her center force. She was never going to pursue marriage even when she was just in her twenties; the idea just never crossed her mind.
Mary Louise Parker
Mary Louise Parker is constantly given credits by people because of her class and openness. What most people don’t know is that, in spite of being an open-minded person, Parker had some struggles dealing with her marital status. She confided in an interview that she was under a lot of pressure once due to the matter. The actress started off her career on Broadway, then later made her way into the big screen. At the age of 56, she has never been married.
She once had a partner, and that was it. She expresses herself just fine through her brilliant performances and books. Yes, she is also an author. She got candid during one interview about her perspective on love. The brunette beauty admitted that one doesn’t simply go through life without being betrayed. She said she experienced it first hand, and she also keeps a collection of letters that were supposedly written to her by her ex-lovers. Parker made it very clear that she can live her life without the approval of men.
Matt Dillon
Matt Dillon is the kind of man who exactly knows what or whom to give credits to pertaining to all of the successful areas of his life. He can’t thank anyone regarding marriage, though, because he just simply isn’t into it. The 57-year-old talented director and actor was first widely recognized by his performances on television. He later made his way into films and later pursued directing.
Dillon is constantly on the list of heartthrobs who didn’t marry, although he is not closing any doors for tying the knot and saying his I Do’s. He had a number of high-profile relationships all throughout the years. Today, he is dating his long-time girlfriend, and they have been together for five years. There had been rumors of an engagement, although a wedding was never planned. Any plans of marriage from the actor are not yet confirmed.
Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry is one of the most well-known celebrities during his time, and all credits must go to his timeless sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Perry is the latest of the sitcom’s cast to be involved in a serious and long-term relationship. If you go through the 51-year-old actor’s achievements again, it’s easy to understand why Perry doesn’t need someone to spend his life with anymore, but apparently, he does.
He’s been recently engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Molly Hurwitz. The two have a huge age difference, but still, love conquers all, and when it comes to love, apparently it’s true that age is nothing but a number. The two seem pretty much in love when they announced their plans to tie the knot back in 2020. People might wonder why it took this long for Perry to finally decide on settling down.
Mindy Kaling
Mindy Kaling is one of the actresses who have such an exceptional and rare beauty. Her exotic looks are just as unique as her mindset when it comes to marriage. Even though people nowadays are already very diverse when it comes to marriage, Kaling is still pretty much talked about why she decided to stay single. According to sources and her closest friends, the actress would much rather make investments towards something else.
The actress, comedian, director, and producer is a mother of two, but she remains unmarried even at the age of 41. It is one of her perspectives in life to not date for at least a while and figure some things out. The actress revealed that it is indeed hard to be dating while being a single mother.
