Everyone has an opinion about marriage. Even if they aren't asked to, people regularly express their thoughts and ideas without permission. A slew of famous people on this list can relate. As soon as a celebrity announces that they see someone, questions about marriage begin to surface. How can I find my ring? What kind of weddings are you hoping to have? It's been a year since you started dating. Therefore you must be engaged. However, not everyone wants to be married. Celebrities such as the following have stated that marriage is not something they desire, and they've cited several valid reasons for their stance. Below you'll find a range of views on marriage from celebrities in the arts and sports. Some people aren't interested in fixing something that isn't broken. Some people have already been married and do not wish to repeat the experience. Government interference in a personal connection is an issue for some. The point of buying another toaster for some people is moot.
Diane Kruger
Kruger was previously married to French filmmaker Guillaume Canet, whom she divorced after a decade-long engagement, and she had no intention of remarrying after they split in 2016. "We had a seven-year relationship," she said. I learned, without sounding negative, that marriage is not something I believe in. I believe in the power of a sincere vow. According to Kruger, who is currently dating The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus, "there's no paper that will make you remain" after her divorce, she told Glamour in 2011. One of my male friends once told me that being married should happen towards the finish of one's journey rather than at the beginning.
Oprah Winfrey
While Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham have been romantically together for some time, they have never made their relationship public. Although they were engaged in 1993, the Winfreys opted not to marry because they didn't think they could retain their separate identities if they were married, according to Winfrey. After accepting his proposal, Winfrey wrote in her magazine in 2020, "I had misgivings. It dawned on me: a marriage wasn't what I was looking for. Wasn't it nice being asked? To know that he thought I was good enough to be his wife was all well and good, but I didn't want to put in the effort to make a marriage work. It was clear to me and everyone else that the show was the most important thing in my life, and we both agreed." "He and I agree that we would not still be together had we tied the wedding knot," said the talk show presenter.
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn
In the absence of a legally recognized union, actors Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are happily married. Our first marriage didn't work out, but this one does." As a result, why bother doing it again? In 2015, Hawn appeared on Loose Women, 32 years after she and Russell had been together. Russell married Season Hubley, while Hawn married Gus Trikonis and Bill Hudson. At some point in the marriage's lifespan, someone will owe money to someone else. "Marriage ends up becoming a business contract," Hawn concluded. Putting your relationship at risk because of a person's wealth is illogical. In the same year, Hawn told People, "We have our ups and downs like everyone else. You have to be in love to stay together, and we are in love with each other and want to stay together. Because of this, you strive to remain as a unit.
Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner has been married twice previously, first to Robert Kardashian and then to Caitlyn Jenner. She's currently in a new long-term relationship with Corey Gamble, but she doesn't plan on getting married for the third time. She claimed on the Divorce Sucks! podcast in 2018 that she doesn't think she'll ever get divorced again, but "you never say never" (via People). "I don't feel the urge to stroll down the aisle in a lengthy, white dress. I've already done it. In addition to the wedding, I've had the births of six children, and I'm now a mother. My body wouldn't comply even if I wanted it to, so we don't need to do it again. It seems to me that I'm just glad for my past experiences and am looking forward to the future, and I don't believe I want to go there."
Winona Ryder
The Stranger Things star has never married, despite increasing engagements with Johnny Depp &' Matt Damon in the 1990s. Marriage, on the other hand? Ryder, who has been dating fashion photographer Scott Mackinlay Hahn since 2011, said to The Edit, "I don't know. Instead of going through a series of divorces, I'd prefer not to have been married at all." Even if it were possible, I doubt I'd go through with a divorce if it were an option. As a child of 45-year-old parents who has been inseparable for so long, you have great expectations. "However, I've been in a relationship for quite some time now."
Kylie Minogue
According to Red Magazine, the singer never wants to get married after breaking up with Joshua Sasse in 2018. I could never have imagined myself getting married in my wildest dreams because she had never dreamed of getting married as a girl or her entire life, "being engaged" felt like an experiment. It's not for me, and I don't think, to get married." However, since finding love again with Paul Solomons, the 50-year-song old's has altered. Then I said to myself, 'Maybe it's not for me.'" The other half, though, is unsure. According to The Sun in the United Kingdom, she said, "I don't know.
Shakira
They've been together since 2011, and they have two children. – Gerard Piqué What is the cause behind their inability to get married? Shakira claimed in a joint interview with Piqué on 60 Minutes in 2020 that marriage "frightens the [mouths swear word] out of me," according to a translation from Spanish. As the wife, I don't want him to perceive me as such." I'd like if he thought of me as a girlfriend. His girlfriend and love interest. Like a small piece of forbidden fruit? I intend to keep him guessing." Laughing, she said, "I want him to believe that everything is possible based on his actions."
Susan Sarandon
During an episode of Katie Couric's talk program in 2012, Susan Sarandon declared, "I believe in [marriage] for other people," Yahoo! reports. "I think that's fantastic if it works out for you. I've always been apprehensive of the concept of securing it. I was afraid it would dampen the spirit of the occasion. "Maybe it was because I grew up as a hippy when I did. It was never high [on my list of priorities]" She was previously married to Chris Sarandon from 1967 until 1979 but had a string of partnerships following that, including 23 years with Tim Robbins.
Sarah Silverman
One of the funniest things Sarah Silverman ever tweeted on marriage was, "Just read that I want to get married, which is hilarious because I will never get married." That was in 2014. When asked about getting married again a year later, Silverman told Ellen DeGeneres that she would hold off until same-sex marriage was permitted across the country (in the U.S. later the same year). But she also said, "Also, and aside that I don't know I would want to have the government involved in my relationship. Personally."
Bo Derek and John Corbett
After over 20 years of being together, 10 star Bo Derek and Sex and the City actor John Corbett opted against getting married since it wouldn't mean much to them. Derek told Entertainment Tonight in September 2020, "I don't mind being questioned [about marriage] since we're the abnormal people." Because we aren't planning to start a new family at this point in our lives, it isn't an intentional decision to not participate. For us, a sheet of paper would suffice." In contrast to Derek, Corbett has never been married and has never been in a committed relationship.
Diane Kruger
Since her divorce from filmmaker Guillaume Canet in 2006, Diane Kruger will not be getting married again. "I discovered, without sounding negative, that marriage is not something I believe in. I believe in the power of a sincere vow. According to Inglourious Basterds star and current boyfriend Norman Reedus, "There's no document to keep you there." When it comes to her most recent statements, she looked a bit more candid. In 2019, she told Porter, "Never say never. "I'd have a party," I said. Wearing a dress would be ideal. The religious part of marriage means nothing to me because I am not one. Marital status provides financial stability, but I'm self-sufficient and don't rely on anybody else."
Drew Barrymore
When it comes to getting married again, Drew Barrymore appears to be the only one who has no intention of doing so. "Never. The answer is never. "I'll never be married again," I scream. According to an interview with People magazine published in September 2020, Barrymore revealed that "never" should not be used. I will never be married with a capital N-E-V-E-R. Okay, then! According to Barrymore, a divorcee and divorced mother-of-three, Cut it—it hasn't worked—or be Elizabeth Taylor. I have two alternatives." And there are still far too many to go. There is no way that I'll ever be in a relationship with someone like them again. You split up, and you go on. It's a whole new world when you get divorced. That we're striving to preserve an institution that began when the nearest person for the company was a three-day horse journey away, and your life span was 30 years" is something I'm grateful for.
Allison Janney
Allison Janney was previously engaged, but she never married, and now she's clear about her feelings on the subject moving forward. According to E! News, when asked if her fiancé had proposed to her yet, she said, "No. Gosh. No." "That institution doesn't hold any value for me." While engaged to actor Richard Jenik in 2005, Janney opened out about her anxieties about marriage to Women's Health. When she was growing up, she had reoccurring nightmares of getting married to one man only to have him transform into someone else after the ceremony. Because no one else perceived the difference, I'd marry Arnold Schwarzenegger and have him be Danny DeVito." So it's safe to say that I've had my doubts. [Laughs] However, I've come to recognize that the source of my anxiety was entirely internal. At the appropriate moment, the perfect man has come into my life: Richard. Instead of repeating, 'I don't know, I don't know,' it feels fantastic to want to commit to someone.
Ricky Gervais
Because they've been together since 1982, Ricky Gervais and Jane Fallon haven't tied the knot. They don't care enough. "I suppose if one of us truly cared, then we would do it, but it's not been anything that either of us has ever really required," Fallon said in an interview with the Daily Mail in 2018. Gervais explained the third reason in a previous interview. In 2012, he told David Letterman, "We think there's no purpose." Toasters are unnecessary. The idea of our families getting together is something we'd want to avoid. That'd be terrible."
Theron, Charlize
As far back as 2011, the Tully actress said that her parents' difficult marriage may have contributed to her lack of desire to get married. This is the first time I'll be honest with you, Piers Morgan: marriage was never significant to me," Theron said to Morgan on his show. It's important to me to be in long-term relationships since I've been in them in the past. That's what I'm looking for in a union. I'm not a big fan of the actual ceremony, but I can see why it's significant to others."
