The Perfect Answer for "Why Aren't You Married Already"

The next time someone gives you grief about tying the knot, answer “why aren’t you married already?” with this list of celebrity women. They’re not only single and loving it but doing it at the top of their games — with zero regrets.

Diane Keaton

Who says that you have to marry Mr. Right?

Diane Keaton has been linked to Woody Allen, Al Pacino and some of the greatest names in the business. But she didn’t take a ring from any of them. Diane says, “I don’t think that because I’m not married it’s made my life any less. That old maid myth is garbage.”

Oprah Winfrey

Sometimes you’re too unconventional to be traditional.

When another talk show host asked Oprah Winfrey why she didn’t get married, she quipped “I’m not a traditional woman and I haven’t had a traditional life, and I think that had Stedman and I gotten married, we certainly wouldn’t have stayed married.” We certainly can’t be mad at that.

Winona Ryder

You’re waiting to make sure it’s right…

A few decades ago, Winona Ryder shocked everyone in the 90’s when she decided not to marry the man everyone in the world had a crush on. But Winona says that there’s a good reason she didn’t marry Johnny Depp — or anyone else. She told OK! Magazine that she’ll only tie the knot once: “I very much believe in marriage. I hope to only be married once, which is why I’ve never been married.”

Goldie Hawn

You just can’t think of a good reason why.

Goldie Hawn made a good point on a 2012 episode of CBS This Morning when she said, “The question is, ‘Why (get married)?’ it’s not, ‘Why not?’” She went on to say that she and Kurt Russell loved their lives together and didn’t see any reason to change what they had.

Kourtney Kardashian

What’s wrong with just playing house?

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have been doing it for years and they seem to be doing just fine. The even have another little one on the way!

Cameron Diaz

It’s 2014.

Cameron Diaz made a good point when she told Maxim magazine, “I think we have to make our own rules. I don’t think we should live our lives in relationships based off of old traditions that don’t suit our world any longer.”

If tying the knot doesn’t feel right to you, why should you try to force it?

Charlize Theron

Not all little girls want to be married one day.

Charlize Theron says that she always knew that she never wanted to get married. “Even when I was a little girl I never dreamed of the white dress and all of that.” But that didn’t stop her from raising a family or becoming one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.

Kristin Davis

It’s OK if it just doesn’t happen.

Sex and the City’s Charlotte may have tied the knot, but Kristin Davis says “I don’t know if I’ll ever get married. I don’t say never, but I just might not.”

Eva Mendes

There’s nothing hot about tying the knot.

At least not according to Eva Mendes: “I think husband and wife is just… very unsexy.” And this is coming from the woman who just had Ryan Gosling’s baby.

Lauren Graham

Who says you need a piece of paper?

When Ellen asked Lauren Graham whether or not she and Peter Krause were going to tie the knot, Lauren joked “Phew, suddenly it’s like I’m talking to my grandma. It’s all she wants to know. I feel like close to five years in Hollywood, its like, aren’t we married already really? It’s good the way it is.”

And if you like it, why shouldn’t everyone else love it?

Chelsea Handler

You’re just not the marrying kind.

Comedienne Chelsea Handler said that when her father told her that she wasn’t the “marrying kind” she took it as a huge compliment. What’s wrong with living a life that’s filled with other plans?

Condoleeza Rice

Sometimes there are bigger things in your future…

Could you imagine Condoleeza as a one of the Basketball Wives? Back in the 1970s, she planned on marrying football player Rick Upchirch but changed her mind because “she knew the relationship wasn’t going to work.” Since then she’s been rolling solo — and helping to run the country.

Kylie Minogue

A ticking clock doesn’t have to mean a marriage countdown.

Singer Kylie Minogue told Sunday Times Style that kids are on her mind, but marriage isn’t: “Having kids would be marvelous, but marriage? Marriage would be lower on my list.” Who says marriage has to come before the baby carriage?

Juliette Binoche

You don’t have to regret it later.

At age 50, Juliette says she has no regrets about never getting married: “I don’t look back on the past because I like to live in the present. I know this makes some people think I probably never cared, but I need my freedom and I like to keep moving.”
