Shakira
Imagine waking up with Shakira beside you. That angelic face and the hips that don’t lie. However, what may be surprising for many is that she has never worn a white wedding gown, despite being in a relationship with Gerard Pique for more than a decade. The two already have two children, Milan and Sasha. During the couple’s interview with 60 Minutes, the Latina singer revealed she’s scared of marriage and she enjoys her “girlfriend” status.
To mention what is already known by many, Shakira is a world-renowned singer known for her unique voice and technique. She’s globally known for her smash hit Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), Whenever, Wherever, and Beautiful Liar. Among the accolades she has collected through the years are three Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, and she takes credit for six Guinness World Records.
Sheryl Crow
She’s beautiful, talented, and probably has everything a real man is looking for. However, in Sheryl Crow’s situation, she has been engaged three times but called off even before tying the knot. The country singer mentioned that she’s constantly dating and is open to walking down the aisle someday. In fact, she said she would love to get married and was still old-fashion. However, she didn’t think of marriage as the “be-all and end-all.”
As a singer who has been in the business for more than three decades, Crow has already accomplished numerous things. She released multiple hit songs, such as All I Wanna Do and If It Makes You Happy. She also has acting credits in Hannah Montana and Cougar Town as an actress.
Shonda Rhimes
Work is probably one of the main reasons Shonda Rhimes has remained single all these years. That decision paid off, considering she’s one of the most successful personalities in the entertainment industry, especially in TV. If you ever wonder about her fortune, well, according to Celebrity Net Worth, she has a wealth amounting to $140 million.
When it comes to marriage, she mentioned to Oprah Winfrey, who also chose not to tie the knot, that since she was a child, she predicted she would be a mother and have kids but never wanted to be a wife to anyone.Rhimes is the mastermind of the production company Shondaland, which has already produced various successful TV series, such as the long-running Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal. Perks of having a college degree and Ph.D.
Sienna Miller
Undeniably beautiful inside and out, talented, of course, are the traits a man is looking for in a woman to pop the life-changing question, and they’re all in Sienna Miller. She was engaged to actor Jude Law and had a daughter with Tom Sturridge, but the award-winning actress still hasn’t worn a wedding dress in her 40 years of existence. Not because she doesn’t like it, but maybe because she hasn’t found the right guy yet.
If someone isn’t familiar with Miller, she’s an American-English actress born in London. She’s widely known for her acting credits in various films like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, The Edge of Love, and The Girl, for which she received Best Actress nominations from the BAFTA and Golden Globes.
Simon Cowell
Marriage is a no-no for the TV competition show judge Simon Cowell. Well, not exactly, as he has been engaged with longtime partner Lauren Silverman since January 2022. However, despite having relationships before, the award-winning TV personality and record executive hasn’t been married to anyone yet. Silverman may be his first.
He initially rose to fame as a judge in the long-running singing competition shows, like American Idol. He stayed there for almost a decade and left to judge another similar series, such as The X Factor UK. Currently, he’s busy with America’s Got Talent, including its British counterpart, and his entertainment company, Syco, which takes credit for some of the biggest stars in the business, like Leona Lewis, Little Mix, Fifth Harmony, and One Direction, among others.
Simone de Beauvoir
Simone de Beauvoir’s works had probably kept her extremely busy that dating and getting married were her least priority. However, the ceremony is just the one she didn’t have, considering that she had a relationship with French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre for over 50 years. For the younger generation, Beauvoir was a French existentialist philosopher, writer, social theorist, and feminist activist, born on January 9, 1908, in Paris. She received both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Paris.
As a writer, she’s known for her novels, She Came to Play and The Mandarins, among others. Because of her excellence in her works, she received multiple awards and credits, including the 1975 Jerusalem Prize, the 1978 Austrian State Prize for European Literature, and the 1954 Prix Goncourt.
Stacey Abrams
Stacey Abrams is a beautiful and independent woman who doesn’t need to get married to feel happy. She’s a lawyer, politician, and author who worked as a member then minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives. As a writer, she has written fiction and non-fiction books, such as Our Time Is Now and Lead from the Outside, which was both New York Best Sellers. She’s the first African-American female major-party gubernatorial nominee in the country.
She may be approaching her 50s, but she still has all the time to tie the knot if she wants to. She was born in Madison, Wisconsin. She finished college at Spelman College, magna cum laude, earned her master’s at the University of Texas at Austin, and received Juris Doctor from Yale Law School. Her credentials alone are extremely impressive, and finding the right man may really take time.
Susan Boyle
Susan Boyle is the best example that marriage should not be taken lightly. Date if you want to and get married if you find the right person. Boyle is already in her 60s, but it was only in 2014 when she had her first boyfriend. Considerably late, but still impressive, considering that she once mentioned before that she was scared of dating.
Anyway, she initially rose to prominence for being a contestant in the 2009 Britain’s Got Talent. She immediately gathered worldwide attention, especially when she sang the classic I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables. That same year, she released her debut album entitled I Dreamed A Dream, which holds the credit for being the best-selling debut album of all time in the UK.
Tyra Banks
Just like having a college degree, marriage is not for everyone, no matter how hard one tries. However, for Tyra Banks, she seems contented enough with her relationship. She had a relationship with Erik Asla from 2013 to 2017 and had a daughter via surrogacy in 2016. As of September 2021, her romance with businessman Louis Bélanger-Martin is going strong, and he may be the first man to whom she’ll say, “I do!” There’s no information or response from her as to why she hasn’t tied the knot yet.
She probably takes a lot of time knowing a certain person before deciding to marry, especially for someone like her who was in an abusive relationship before.As many already know, Banks is a former Victoria’s Secret angel turned host of various successful shows like syndicated America’s Next Top Model, the long-running Tyra Banks Show, and most recently, America’s Got Talent.
Winona Ryder
Just because she hasn’t been married doesn’t mean that Winona Ryder’s life is miserable, unhappy, or that no guy would try dating her because she’s not worthy of being loved. During the beginning of her career, she was in a highly publicized relationship with the Pirates of The Caribbean actor Johnny Depp. When the couple called it quits, she dated Matt Damon for a while. Currently, she’s enjoying her life with partner Scott Mackinlay Hahn.
Winona’s career has many ups and downs, but she keeps coming back because she’s exceptional. She initially rose to fame for her films The Age of Innocence and Little Women. Her performances in these two movies earned nominations from Academy Award. In recent years, she received an incredible degree of fame for her role in the Netflix series Stranger Things, playing the role of Joyce Byers.
