These Celebrities Never Walked Down The Aisle

Some of us spend our lives looking for someone to spend every day with. Others? They’re not so interested in having someone by their side. Even if they are, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the pieces will fall into place, and they’ll get their happily ever after.

The celebrities who have never walked down the aisle might not have a ring on their finger or hear wedding bells on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean things have been bad in their lives. Sometimes, we don’t need a sparkly ring and a big ceremony to help us shine.

Susan Boyle has very little experience with relationships

Appearing on the British reality competition show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ was enough to turn Susan Boyle into an international superstar overnight. No one expected the incredible singing voice that came out of the star, and it wasn’t long before everyone wanted a piece of Susan’s talents, but the singer had a few confessions to make.

It turned out she was pretty inexperienced with relationships. In fact, SuBo confessed that she had never even kissed a man back in 2009. That seemed to change in 2014 as it was rumored Susan found love at last. However, that was the last we heard of the couple, and there were no reports of a ring on anyone’s finger.

Dana Delany wants to make sure she meets the right man before marriage

Ah, the mystery drama series ‘Desperate Housewives.’ How we’ve missed you, Wisteria Lane! We got to see plenty of memorable characters throughout the series, including Katherine Mayfair. How could we forget the drama she brought to the lane? The character was brought to life by none other than legendary actress Dana Delany throughout the years.

Thankfully, her talents and acting credits have forged an impressive career. However, Dana has never tied the knot. That’s because the actress says she’s conflicted when it comes to marriage. Apparently, Dana wants to make sure that she has found the right man and everything is set before she thinks about walking down the aisle. There’s still plenty of time.

Kimberly Stewart is more focused on her daughter than a relationship

Perhaps you’re wondering where you’ve heard the name Stewart before? That would be thanks to British rock legend Rod Stewart. Kimberley is Rod’s daughter and has continued the family legacy of having pretty impressive hair. Kimberley hasn’t relied on her family’s fame to survive, as the star has built a career for herself as a fashion designer, model, and socialite.

The icon was set to get married back in 2005, but the engagement came to an end before Kimberley made it down the aisle. In late 2022, the star was linked to Scott Disick, but it’s unclear if they’re still together. However, she is focused on raising her daughter, who she shares with Benicio del Toro, following a one-night encounter.

Naomi Watts was engaged but never wed Liev Schreiber

Many British actresses have moved across the pond and found success in Hollywood. Thankfully, the movie paid off for Naomi Watts, as she’s been cast in several big productions. That’s not all that’s got the world talking, as Naomi has also been linked to some pretty high-profile guys. Two of her famous relationships include dating Liev Schreiber and Heath Ledger.

It turns out that Naomi and Liev dated for over a decade and welcomed two children in that time. They were even engaged, with Naomi later stating it felt as though the pair were married. Unfortunately, the big day never came as the pair went their separate ways before they heard wedding bells and tied the knot.

Mindy Kaling has remained tight-lipped about her private love life

It’s not easy to become a leading sitcom actress multiple times. However, Mindy Kaling showed everyone how it’s done as the star took a leading role in the US ‘The Office’ before she created and wrote her own show, ‘The Mindy Project.’ Here, we got to see the unfolding of some on-screen relationships, but what about the real world?

That’s where things are a little different. Mindy prefers to keep her relationships away from the headlines. For years, she was involved in an on-and-off-again relationship with her former ‘The Office’ co-star and friend B.J. Novak., but things didn’t last. The actress does have two children - born in 2017 and 2020 - but has never confirmed the fathers’ identities.

Anita Hill quickly decided she didn’t want to get married

Many of us have Anita Hill to thank for changing history in a way no one had achieved before. The female icon, academic, and attorney went down in history when she stood up in the Supreme Court and spoke out against inappropriate behavior. It was the first time many women had ever seen someone take a stand against their attacker.

Being such a big part of the limelight meant it wasn’t long before Anita decided to keep her private life away from the headlines. Although Anita never made it down the aisle, the icon has been in a long-term relationship for many years. However, they choose to live in separate houses and won’t be walking down the aisle anytime soon.

Greta Garbo reportedly left a man at the altar on their wedding day

The 1920s and ‘30s were a great time for Hollywood, and American-Swedish actress Greta Garbo is one of the many who took the opportunity to shine. The actress was the talk of the town as she was one of the most popular actresses, and everyone wanted to know who would put a ring on Greta’s finger.

However, that time never came. Greta was once engaged to John Gilbert. It’s supposedly John who ended up left at the altar when they were supposed to enjoy their wedding day. Greta never recreated the moment and passed away without getting married, but there were rumors Greta was linked to a woman before her passing.

Diane Keaton says being single hasn’t made her any less happy

Diane Keaton is one of the few women in Hollywood who can hold their head high in every acting role she has taken. The actress has appeared in all kinds of successful productions and has even been linked to some of the most prominent actors. Some of the names include none other than Warren Beatty, Woody Allen, and Al Pacino.

Just because she has dated some superstars doesn’t mean that Diane wants to walk down the aisle. The actress believes that she has never found the right man to have by her side, but not having a ring on her finger hasn’t made her any less happy. Diane now lives with her two adopted children.

Coco Chanel never needed a man in her life to be happy

When it comes to fashion, it’s hard to find someone more iconic than Coco Chanel. She was behind one of the industry’s biggest names, and her legacy continues to live on all these years later. So why did Coco Chanel never have a man on her arm? That’s because the designer realized she didn’t need anyone else to be happy.

Coco was an orphan and quickly realized she needed to be resilient and independent if she stood a chance. This also meant Coco had to learn how to support herself without a man by her side. There were several reports that Coco was a mistress to many important men, but she never wanted a ring on her finger.

Oprah Winfrey is engaged, but the pair have never made it to the altar

If there is one thing many of us have fallen in love with, it’s how open Oprah Winfrey has been about her personal life. We have followed the talk show host on all kinds of adventures, including her relationship and weight loss. Letting us into her private life has helped Oprah become one of the most relatable Tv stars.

Oprah has been dating Sedman Graham since 1986, and the pair seem quite content. Stedman even got down on one knee in 1992. However, the couple has never made plans to get married - and it doesn’t look as though that will be changing anytime soon after Oprah confessed Sedman believes it requires “a different way of being in this world.”

Jacqueline Bisset prefers long-term relationships to walking down the aisle

Believe it or not, but Jacqueline Bisset has been acting since the 1960s. She made quite the name for herself throughout the decade and has continued to wow people with her acting talents. The actress has appeared in everything from the adventure movie ‘The Deep’ to the drama series ‘Dancing on the Edge’ and just about everything in between.

That’s not all Jacqueline has enjoyed over the years as the actress has been linked to several prominent names. It turns out Jacqueline has been in a 14-year relationship and two seven-year loves, but all of them have come to an end before the star made it down the aisle. It appears Jacqueline is more content with relationships than marriage.

Sarah Silverman has been in a handful of high-profile relationships

It takes something special to be able to pull off comedy. After all, if no one in the room finds you funny, what are you to do? That hasn’t stopped Sarah Silverman from proving how it’s done right. The actress has appeared in several comedies over the years and has even attracted the attention of some comedy greats.

Sarah has been in two long-term high-profile relationships throughout her career, one with Michael Sheen and another with Jimmy Kimmel. Although everything seemed to be going in their favor, both of Sarah’s relationships have come to an end. While she has continued to date, Sarah also admitted she has no interest in starting a family with anyone.

Cote de Pablo hasn’t found love since the end of her 15-year relationship

Although the actress hails from Chile, it wasn’t long before Cote de Pablo took Hollywood by storm as one of the small screen’s leading stars. She is one of many who have made the crime drama ‘NCIS’ their home. Here, Cote brought Ziva David to life. Being in Hollywood also introduced Cote to her long-term partner, Diego Serrano.

The pair were in a relationship for 15 years before things fizzled out as they called things off in 2015. Many fans of the show hoped Cote would end up walking down the aisle, but it wasn’t meant to be, and it seems that Cote has been single ever since the end of the relationship.

Kylie Minogue has never made it down the aisle

The soap opera ‘Neighbors’ was just the beginning for Kylie Minogue. Kylie and Jason’s on-screen wedding in the show was the talk of soap opera fans around the world as the two characters found love at long last. However, things haven’t been so simple in Kylie’s real life. Many hoped that Kylie would eventually follow in Charlene’s footsteps.

The reality? Kylie has always been the bridesmaid, never the bride. The star was engaged to Joshua Sasse, a British actor, in 2016, but the pair called things off the following year. After being linked to several high-profile men, Kylie recently split with Paul Solomons in 2023 after five years together and has since moved back to Melbourne.

Mary-Louise Parker hasn’t been with anyone since the end of her relationship

The 1990s were a huge time for many actors and actresses, as movies dominated the world and several hit TV shows made their debut. Mary-Louise Parker was one of the many who made her mark on the acting world throughout the decade, both on our screens and on the stage. Sadly, Mary-Louise hasn’t always been so successful in love.

The actress started dating Billy Crudup toward the end of the ‘90s, and the pair eventually announced they were expecting a baby. Unfortunately, Billy left the actress for Claire Danes just two months before Mary-Louise welcomed their child. It appears the actress has remained single since and now focuses on raising her biological and adopted children.

Condoleezza Rice hasn’t found a man she wants to settle down with

In recent years, there have been several prominent female names in politics. Condoleezza Rice is one of those women as the politician worked alongside former President of the United States George W. Bush as his Secretary of State. Rice’s professional career impressed many across the planet, but her love life has always been the talk of the media.

Rice was once engaged to Rick Upchurch. However, the pair called things off in the 1970s before they made it down the aisle. It turns out Rice thought the relationship wasn’t working and wanted out. Since then, Rice has stayed single, as the politician has never found anyone she wants to invite into her home or personal life.

Lauren Graham doesn’t feel that marriage is important in her life

The comedy-drama series ‘Gilmore Girls’ was a huge success throughout its initial run, so much so, it spawned a reboot later on down the line, ‘Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.’ In the show, we saw Lorelai Gilmore battle with relationships and trying to juggle a love life while raising her daughter and dealing with her parents.

It seems Lauren Graham’s love life isn’t too far away from her characters, but there are some differences. For over ten years, the actress was dating actor Peter Krause, with the pair admitting they never had plans to marry. According to Lauren, she didn’t need to show the world they were in love, but they sadly split in 2021.

Kristin Davis is worried about bringing men into her children’s lives

Many of us grew up watching the rom-com drama ‘SATC’ as we fell in love with the women of the city and their love lives. Throughout the show, we got to see Charlotte York’s marriage blossom, but the same can’t be said for the actress behind the star. Kristin Davis was the one to bring Charlotte to life.

Apparently, the actress is worried about inviting men into her life. That’s all because Kristen already has children. Apparently, she wants to ensure having a man by her side will have a positive effect on her family and won’t disrupt the peace they currently enjoy. Kristen says she’s accepted she may never find a man who checks all the boxes.

Sheryl Crow has been in several high-profile relationships over the years

It might be no wonder one of the biggest stars in the music industry has been linked to so many famous people over the years. After all, only the top of the top get invited to the hottest parties on the planet. Thankfully, Sheryl Crow is one of the few who has climbed the ladder of fame over the years.

Throughout her time at the top, the musician has been linked to the likes of Owen Wilson and Eric Clapton. It turns out Sheryl was also once engaged to sports star Lance Armstrong, but the couple called off their engagement five months after announcing the news. It appears Sherly has been single ever since while waiting for her Prince Charming.

Lauryn Hill never married after her long-term relationship dwindled

The ‘90s music scene had Lauryn Hill to thank for many of the bops that dominated the decade. The musician spent many years enjoying the heights of fame, but things took a turn when Lauryn stepped away from the limelight. The star decided to put her music career on hold as she focused on starting and raising a family instead.

Thankfully, that has all changed as Lauryn is now back in the recording studio after all these years. Lauryn was in a relationship with Rohan Marley for 15 years, and the pair welcomed five children. Sadly, they went their separate ways in 2011, and Lauryn has remained single ever since. There are also reports that Lauryn’s sixth child isn’t Rohan’s.

Lady Gaga’s two engagements have failed to end in marriage

Lady Gaga has accomplished a great deal in her career, from topping the charts to becoming Hollywood’s next big star. However, one thing she’s yet to do is tie the knot, although that’s not for want of trying. Gaga has been engaged twice now, with both of those relationships falling apart before anyone could say “I do.”

The first of those engagements was with actor Taylor Kinney who appeared in her music video for ‘Yoü and I.’ Unfortunately, this only lasted for a year between 2015 and 2016 before it ended. Two years later, Gaga confirmed her engagement to talent agent Christian Carino, but again it was over just months later. Will third time be the charm?

Kelly Rowan almost married the wealthiest man in Canada

For Kelly Rowan, there was a time when it almost seemed as though life would be imitating art. In the teen drama ‘The O.C.,’ the actress played a character married to someone with a lot of money. The same year the show ended, Rowan got engaged to David Thomson, aka the wealthy 3rd Baron Thomson of Fleet.

Thomson is now the richest man in Canada and the 23rd richest in the world, meaning he and Kelly could have had a very cushy life together. However, the pair broke off their engagement in 2008, and Rowan hasn’t really been linked to anyone since. At least David gave the actress a daughter who arrived after her parents had separated.

Edie Falco says she wants to see what life has in store

The drama series ‘The Sopranos’ was once one of the biggest shows on our screens. Millions of people tuned in over the years to try and find out what would happen to our favorite characters - and many had plenty to say about the series finale. Fans of the show probably recognize Edie Falco as one of the stars.

She was the wife of one of the bosses in the series, but there aren’t many similarities between the character and Edie’s real life. The actress admits many people roll their eyes when they hear she’s not married and has never had a high-profile relationship. However, that doesn’t bother Edie, as she admits she wants to see what’s in store.

Allison Janney says she’s happy being single and ready to mingle

Actress Allison Janney is one of the few stars who can say they have a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Primetime Emmy, a British Academy Film Award, and an Academy Award. Amazingly, the actress is still down to Earth about her time at the top. Earning all those awards has come from a lifetime in the spotlight.

Some of her most notable roles have been in the period drama ‘The Help,’ the drama ‘Bad Education,’ the rom-com ‘10 Things I Hate About You,’ and the thriller ‘The Girl on the Train.’ Just because she has been in some of the most iconic productions of our time doesn’t mean Allison has been whisked down the aisle.

Tyra Banks believes that being married doesn’t show love

It might be hard to believe that supermodel and reality TV host Tyra Banks has never walked down the aisle. The star has been on the cover of just about every magazine in the world and created her own highly successful reality show ‘America’s Next Top Model’ - a series that’s spawned several spin-offs around the globe.

Being so busy doesn’t mean Tyra has missed out on love. In fact, the model dated Erik Asla for many years. The pair even welcomed a baby during their relationship. Sadly, things weren’t meant to be as the couple went their separate ways in 2017. However, Tyra told Wendy Williams that getting not married doesn’t mean you don’t love someone.

Shonda Rhimes is already happy with her life without a husband

Some actresses have put all their talents to the test over the years. Shonda Rhimes is one of those as the producer has worked on a host of shows, such as the medical drama ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and the drama ‘Off the Map.’ Throughout her career, Shonda has proved repeatedly she knows what it takes to bring a show to life.

As if that wasn’t enough, she has even written several shows, too. Shonda has welcomed two adopted children and a baby through a surrogate mother throughout her career. However, there is no man by her side. Shonda says that she is already happy with her life, so she doesn’t feel there’s a need to get married.

Joan Jett prefers to keep rumors about her love life to herself

When you think of rock and roll, what comes to mind? The chances are you picture out-of-control hairdos and breaking all the rules, right? That certainly seems to be what’s kept musician Joan Jett occupied. It’s no secret that she’s used to taking her own lane in life, but that’s left many people wondering what happens behind closed doors.

There have been many rumors about who Joan could be dating or if she is a part of the LGBTQ community. However, Joan has remained firm that she will never dish any secrets. We know there is a lack of a ring on Joan’s finger, so we guess the musician is yet to make it down the aisle?

Helena Bonham Carter prefers long-term relationships to marriage

Helena Bonham Carter is arguably one of the most famous actresses. She has been in a host of movies, especially thanks to dating Tim Burton for so long. The pair met on the set of the sci-fi movie ‘The Planet of the Apes’ and instantly clicked. It wasn’t long before Helena became the star of many of Tim’s movies.

However, they never had a conventional relationship. The couple lived in two separate houses right next to each other and never made it down the aisle. In the end, they decided to call things a day after more than a decade - and a host of successful movies - together. Thankfully, the split seemed to be on good terms.

Miranda Richardson wants to find the right man before she gets married

It can be tough to know if you’ve found the one - especially when everyone is looking for something different. Some of us want a partner who makes us laugh. Others want a partner who feels safe. Miranda Richardson? She just wants someone who is right for her. It might be vague, but the actress has stuck to her stance.

We doubt anything will change her mind anytime soon. Miranda has appeared in a host of productions across the pond, but the British actress has never found a man who’s swept her off her feet. Miranda now says that she would rather be single and happy than walk down the aisle with someone who isn’t right for her.

Harper Lee fell in love with a married man

If you want to make sure your name goes down in history, you need to find a way to leave your mark on the world. Harper Lee did just that as she put pen to paper to create some of the most famous literature the world has seen. Harper was the one behind the famous novel ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’

The story has been retold across the world and has seen Harper become a household name. Sadly, the author never found love. There was one man who caught Harper’s eye, but there was a problem: he was already married. As if that wasn’t enough, he didn’t feel the same way. Harper ended up passing away, having only felt love once.

Dina Meyer likes to keep her private life away from the cameras

Some actresses are lucky enough to land roles of a lifetime. Someone must have spread some good luck to Diane Meyer, as the actress has landed a host of career-changing parts. Some of her most notable roles have been in the drama series ‘Birds of Prey,’ the military sci-fi movie ‘Starship Troopers,’ and the drama show ‘Beverly Hills, 90210.’

All of Diane’s roles have always been iconic as the actress knows how to steal just about every scene. However, the star prefers to keep her private life away from the media. This means we only know Diane isn’t married. No one has any idea if she’s in a relationship, but there’s been no sign of a ring.

Jane Austen didn’t want to marry the wrong man, so she stayed single

Even though she was born in the 18th century, Jane Austen’s work is still some of the most prominent the world of literature has ever seen. Jane was the one behind the likes of ‘Sense and Sensibility,’ ‘Mansfield Park,’ and Pride and Prejudice.’ The latter is so prominent that it’s been turned into a host of TV shows and movies.

It’s not just Jane’s work that’s been the talk of the town - it turns out the author never married. This was almost unheard of at the time, as it was customary for women to marry as soon as possible. However, Jane knew no one could stand up to her first love. Rather than marry the wrong man, Jane stayed single.

Jorja Fox has dated both men and women throughout her life

She might have been away from our screens for a few years, but fans of the crime show ‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’ struggle to forget the lady who brought Sara Sidle to life. That’s right; actress Jorja Fox. The star has appeared in various TV shows and movies throughout her career and has even worked behind the camera.

Jorja has helped produce a handful of shows and even written some music for various productions - even though Jorja says she plays the guitar badly. The actress has stepped away from the limelight in recent years, meaning no one knows what she’s been up to. All we do know is Jorja has dated men and women throughout her life.

Elizabeth I of England didn’t wed to strengthen the kingdom

It’s pretty rare to see a king or queen without a fellow Royal by their side. After all, with no partner and no children, the bloodline will come to an end. There is a good reason that Henry VIII married so many wives and wanted a son to continue his legacy. However, that didn’t stop Queen Elizabeth I of England.

It turns out the Royal wanted to make sure her bloodline came to an end as she didn’t want to marry another Royal from Europe. Not having a husband or any children meant that Elizabeth’s throne was ultimately passed to James VI of Scotland. Ruling the land brought Scotland and England together, creating a strong bond between the two nations.

Janet Napolitano prefers to work instead of finding her soulmate

Have you ever found yourself a little too dedicated to your job? Janet Napolitano certainly does. She is a strong female lead in politics who has achieved a lot throughout her career at the top. Janet has worked as the Secretary of Homeland Security, the president of the University of California system, and the governor of Arizona.

That’s quite an impressive resume. Despite being one of the top women in politics, Janet has never been married, and she has never welcomed any children into the world. Janet puts it down to being a workaholic who spends every minute of her day dedicated to making other people’s lives better instead of focusing on finding love.

Susan B Anthony wanted to take male power away from marriage

Many people still look up to Susan B Anthony as the great feminist who helped change the world for women throughout history. In fact, Susan’s work was so powerful that she ended up on the face of the dollar coin. Susan spent most of her life fighting for women’s rights and working as a social reformer.

She wanted women everywhere to be treated as equals and shown respect. The feminist also had strong views when it came to marriage, as Susan thought men had too much power when walking down the aisle. She refused to marry anyone until both parties were content with the union, and everyone involved was allowed to be happy - and treated equally.

Mother Teresa vowed never to touch another man in her life

We’re not sure if Mother Teresa can be blamed for never walking down the aisle as the saint vowed that she would never marry the entire time she was working. Mother Teresa’s legacy has lived on well past her passing in 1997, as she taught the world how to find peace and helped to touch the lives of many.

It was a sad day for many when Mother Teresa took her final breaths. She took her vows back in 1937 that meant Mother Teresa had to live a life where she never touched another man, let alone get married to someone. She believed that her only purpose was to help those in need and to serve God.

Dare Wright was almost more interested in her family than finding a man

Sadly, Dare Wright lost her life in 2001 and left a huge mark on the world. However, the children’s author, photographer, and model made plenty of fans throughout her career. Many were in mourning the day that Dare lost her life. Unfortunately, it turns out that Dare’s life wasn’t always filled with happiness and love.

The star was once in love with someone and was sent off to serve in the military. He tragically lost his life, and Dare was left without her soulmate - or a ring. She eventually spent the rest of her time at home with her loved ones rather than focusing on finding another man. Dare stuck to her word.

Emily Brontё rarely left the house and never met her soulmate

They say we sometimes have to sacrifice parts of our lives if we want to make our dream come true. That seems to be the case for writer Emily Brontё. The author was behind some of the most iconic novels of her time that have gone down in history. She is also arguably the most recognized of the Brontё sisters.

Sadly, there was never anyone to sweep Emily off her feet. Emily spent so much time at home with her family and writing novels that she rarely left the house. Eventually, this meant the writer missed out on meeting new people and never met a partner. In the end, Emily passed away without ever having a relationship.

Chelsea Handler has never decided if she wants to get married or not

When it comes to celebrity women who can do it all, Chelsea Handler is one at the top of the list. To start, Chelsea is an incredible comedian. Then, there’s her successful career as a producer, actress, and TV host. Oh, and did we mention Chelsea is an activist for all kinds of causes when she’s not on our screens?

It turns out the star really can do it all. Although Chelsea has been linked to a handful of celebrities over the years, Chelsea has never settled down or walked down the aisle. That’s not all. Chelsea is always changing her mind about whether she wants to get married or not, meaning future partners could be in for a ride.
