Back in the 20th century, the great and incomparable Coco Chanel and Greta Garbo showed that women did not have to be married to succeed. The former rejected all men who wanted to marry her, while the latter fled the groom on their wedding day. This behavior drew condemnation from others at the time, since everyone believed that the main task of a woman was to get married and become a mother. But at the moment, the situation has changed a lot: more and more women are in no hurry to get married. Why are celebrities increasingly reluctant to get married?
Diane Keaton (76)
Diane Keaton is not ready for formal marriage even though she is 76 years old.
The 76-year-old American film actress, director, and producer has never worn a wedding dress. Keaton has won many prestigious film awards, but the actress has never received an engagement ring. According to her, she has never objected to the formalization of relationships with others, but she cannot imagine herself playing the role of a married woman. The thought of the role of a traditional wife shocked Diane.
However, this did not stop the actress from becoming a mother of two children. And the actress's private life has been unhindered. She had an affair with Al Pacino, Keanu Reeves, Warren Beatty, Woody Allen, Jack Nicholson. According to the actress, she likes men, but likes to flirt with them, walk, spend time, but does not live with them all the time. For her, marriage is a completely different world and you need to live with someone who can make concessions. According to Diane Keaton herself, she wasn't ready for it.
Oprah Winfrey (68)
Oprah Winfrey has said marriage is important, but she doesn't want it.
The TV host, actor, producer, and public figure is now one of the richest and most influential women in the world. Oprah's first serious romance began at age 32 when she met educator, entrepreneur and public speaker Steadman Graham at a charity event. The relationship between the two developed quickly, and soon after, the couple announced their engagement. Although their wedding never took place, Graham became her true destiny.
According to Oprah, she had some misgivings when she agreed to marry him. The TV host realized she was not seeking marriage. Oprah is not ready to take on the constant level of responsibility, sacrifice, showdown, and compromise without which marriage simply cannot be achieved. And women are not willing to sacrifice their careers for the sake of their families. Despite the fact that the Oprah and Stedman couple decided not to get married, they have been in a relationship for more than 30 years.
Jennifer Coolidge (60)
American comedian, stand-up comedian, and screenwriter Jennifer Coolidge turned 60 last year, but her appearance hasn't changed much. Many people know her because of the "American Pie" series of movies, as well as the movie "Cinderella's Story".
Coolidge dated actor Chris Kattan, who was 10 years her junior, for several years. After that, similar scandals kept appearing, the protagonists were all men younger than her, but most of the time the actress was alone.
Kristen Davis (57)
Many people remember this actress from the cult TV series "Sex and the City", in which she played the role of Charlotte, a girl who has long dreamed of marriage, and her dream has finally come true. But in reality, it's the opposite, and Christine herself is the only actress in the hit series who has never made it to marriage.
Davis is definitely not worried about this, because she has everything she needs to live a happy and satisfying life: making movies and TV series, her adopted daughter, participating in shows and actions to protect animal rights.
In general, Kristen did not understand the meaning of marriage from an early age.
Patricia Cass (55)
The French singer has incredible charm and has been a symbol of feminine beauty for many years. Her voice and music captivated the world. Alain Delon himself could not resist this deadly beauty. However, Patricia found happiness, albeit short-lived, in the Belgian composer Philippe Bergman.
Their romance lasted six years, but they eventually separated. Cass dreams of a career, while Bergman dreams of a family.
For now, the 55-year-old jazz singer is careful to hide all the details of her private life. The French woman declared that she was absolutely unfit for marriage, family life and all these routines. She set herself a dead loop: Patricia believed that a real man could not live in the shadow of such a successful and strong woman, and that she did not need a weak and hypocritical man at all.
Liu Yuling (53)
The American actress, producer, director and fashion model is best known for her role as Wu Ling in the TV series Sweetheart. Despite her age, the actress looks great: well-proportioned figure, well-groomed face, impeccable style. It is difficult for men to pass by such a woman, so Liu Yuling has enough suitors. The actress has been seen having romantic relationships and brief romances with film director Zac Helm, actor George Clooney and boxer Vladimir Klitschko. In turn, Liu Yuling tries not to talk about her private life, so she rarely appears in public with her boyfriend.
Since Liu Yuling had little free time due to filming, the actress decided to turn to the services of a surrogate mother. For many years, she was a happy mother and did not know how she lived without her son. Perhaps because of the constant filming, she does not see the possibility of a serious relationship with the opposite sex. According to her, the work takes a lot of time, and she has not considered suspending filming for the time being.
Winona Ryder (50)
American actress Winona Ryder managed to win the hearts of many famous handsome men: Matt Damon, Chris Noth, Keanu Reeves. Also, in the 90s, Johnny Depp proposed to her. Although the girl agreed, the actors' wedding did not take place. The breakup with Depp left Ryder in a chronic depression.
But after a while, Winona recovered: she threw herself back to work and tried to have relationships with other men, although she remained cautious about marriage. The actress admitted that it was much better for her not to marry than to divorce later. And, Ryder has another example – her parents, who have been married for almost 50 years. According to the actress, she has someone who makes her happy, they do not need to have a stamp in their passport and they do not change anything.
Tyra Banks (48)
Supermodel, actress Tyra Banks had enough gossip boyfriends, but she never showed up at the wedding. The beauty has relationships with millionaire John Utendal, basketball player Chris Webb, singer Henry Olusegun Adeola Samuel, film director John Singleton and film actor Taylor Perry. Despite such a large number of potential husbands, no one has been able to convince Tyra to stabilize.
About a decade ago, the actress met photographer Eric Asla, who she really fell in love with. Some time later, the couple gave birth to a son through surrogacy. To the constant questions about marriage, Terra replied that she didn't need to wear a ring on her ring finger to tell her loved ones how she felt.
Janury Jones (44)
Actress and fashion model Janurey Jones tries to hide all the details of her personal life. Many enviable bachelors tried to win the hearts of the heroines of the "Mad Men" series, but the unapproachable actress was never held by anyone.
The striking blonde became a mother ten years ago, but she has been careful to hide her son's father's name. After the birth of the child, the star was seen dating American actor Will Ford, but their relationship lasted less than six months.
Nicole Sterzinger (43)
American pop/R&B singer Nicole Scherzinger said she has long dreamed of getting married and becoming a mother. Nicole dated Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton for eight years. However, their love is like a swing, and over the years, the couple has always been separated. The main reason for their quarrel was Lewis's reluctance and reluctance to start a family.
But in 2013, the driver decided to take an important step – he proposed to his beloved. However, Nicole rejected the long-awaited offer. A year later, the relationship between former lovers warmed up again. After reuniting, the two traveled to the Vatican to seek the Pope's blessing, but the trip also failed to save their relationship.
So many stars are not married, it seems that for celebrities, marriage is really a luxury.
