Why Aren’t They Married Yet? Celebrity Studs Over 40 We Wonder About

October 24th, 2011 - By MN Editor

African American Prince Charming

You know how it is, a man’s stock value doesn’t really decline as he ages, which means that he gets to take his sweet little time when playing the field and deciding on who to wife up. But despite the fact that men settle down at an older age, relative to women, many guys are still looking to get married by the time they hit their 30s. And when we meet seemingly great guys in their 40s, who are single with no kids, we sometimes wander…what’s up with that?

When it comes to celebrities, we know that we don’t know all of their business but some of these fine, single, 40-something celebrities got us confused. For example, why is Maxwell still on the market and how come we never see him out with nobody? Is it that many of these guys don’t want to settle for one woman? Do they not want to grow up? Or is it that they struggle with finding “the one” to accompany them on the red carpet?

    Listening to Q-Tip’s lyrics, it sounds like he’s pretty sexist, so that might have to do with his not having a girlfriend…

  • Sandy

    Easy answer since I'm a woman who isn't and approaching 40. Their career is more important.

  • Terri

    Black Men are Pathetic!

      You’re pathetic. Black men are great. 

  • myliasa

    How's this? They don't WANT to be married.
    Now go get a life.

  • Pamela

    You are absolutely right!!! It may sound old fashioned and I'm all for women being sexual and understanding who they are sexually and liberally, but I hear sooooo many women complain about not being married particulalrly women over 35. I often tell them that why would a man marry you when he is getting all that he wants from you now without holding any of the responsibility. Marriage represents responsibility, a covenant, a unity, if you are sleeping with here in the first couple of months that you meet him, cooking his food daily, giving him money, doing all of those things then he has no reason to marry you.

    • Anonymous

      Replace with white and that’ll be more accurate. Oh wait, are you Asian? Well, don’t really care.

    False.

  • homie

    If a man is over 40 not married and no kids trust me something is
    wrong with that man. Some of it is SELFISH.

    • aqquippless

      I`ve seem some of your other posts on similar subjects.You tend to always use the word SELFISH.Explain to me please what does a man OWE you for being here.I was lead to believe my life is mine to live as i CHOOSE.So please clarify.

        Damn that's a good azz point. Can't call a dude selfish unless they actually DID commit to a marriage or living together with a person and still acted all god damn individual and sh!t. But hey at least his old azz got married right??? HAHAHAA

        Everybody gotta realize sh!t's changed for men and women as far as the marriage thing and not just in the black community. My thing is that most of the good looking ladies out here is evil and ain't trying to give nothing, just receive. What's the point of gettin wit a woman that is cool but I'm not attracted to? That sh!t ain't gonna work out in the end.

    What about Johnny Gill, Ms. Jay from Tyra Banks Show, Derek J, and Shrek, LOL, This article is too funny!! Let's be real "All of the guys mentioned in the article are "Undercover Brothers" LOL

    • NattaliaNYC

      And your evidence for these "Undercover Brothers" is??????

  • Anthony

    Why would you write an "article" that speculates that these people have "flaws" because they aren't married…as stated, they are all positive, successful black figures. Can we not leave it at that? We continue to be our own biggest downfall. Maybe they don't believe in monogamy. Would you rather the title be "40 Black Men Who Continue to Cheat On Their Wives"? This is not responsible journalism, just low-class, dressed-up gossip.

  • Mia

    Q tip has a girlfriend and kids…why does one have to be married?

  • anti-believer

    Ms.T…. i agree with you… if homosexuality was widely accepted, we would know some of these men sexual preference. But it isn't necessary to get married. This doesn't solve "love" problems just because you get hitched.

  • JENNY JONES!!!!!

    I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO IS ASKING B/C WE ALL ARE PRETTY SURE TAVIS, HILL, MAXWELL AND MAYBE EVEN Q-TIP ARE GAY. NO BIG DEAL BUT DON'T ACT LIKE WE AKA WOMEN ARE STUPID & DON'T KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS………………JENNY JONES!!!!
