Celebrities Who Won’t Get Married: Stars Who Have Vowed to Never Wed or Tie the Knot Again

Kelly Clarkson

Amid her contentious divorce from Brandon Blackstock, the singer said in a December 2021 interview that marriage was not something she was willing to try again even though she thought she could one day be open to love.

“Maybe in the future, you never know,” she said about the possibility of dating, adding, “Well, I do know I won’t get married again. But I just mean, you never know about love. It’s one of those things where we’re engineered — especially from where I’m from — to have to have that. And I don’t have that need.” Kelly filed for divorce from Brandon in June 2020, and it was finalized in March 2022.

Charlize Theron

In 2011, the Atomic Blonde star told Piers Morgan, “I’ll be the first to say, here on your show, marriage … was never something that was important to me.”

“I really want for myself a long-term relationship and I have been in long-term relationships … That’s the kind of union that I want. The actual ceremony is not something that is important to me — but I see the importance for other people.” Charlize stayed true to her word, later adopting two children and having romances but never marrying.

Sandra Bullock

After her devastating 2010 divorce from Monster Garage star Jesse James following his multiple alleged infidelities, Sandra said another go at being legally wed wasn’t in the cards.

When asked about marriage in a 2015 interview, The Proposal star said, “I don’t think so, but I can see myself in a committed, safe relationship where there is lots of love and laughter and making memories is No. 1 on the to-do list,” Sandra has been in a long-term relationship with photographer Bryan Randall since 2015, who is helping her raise son Louis and daughter Laila.

“I am someone who went through the divorce process,” Sandra reflected during a December 2021 interview. “I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children, three children — his older daughter. Best thing ever. So, I don’t want to say do it like I do it, but I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner, a devoted mother. I don’t need to be told to be ever-present in the hardest of times. I don’t need to be told to whether a storm with a good man.”

Kristin Davis

Despite her Sex and the City character Charlotte York being desperate to be married, Kristin is the opposite. “I’m not married, I have never been married. It’s not my thing,” she stated in a July 2023 podcast interview, adding, “I was never focused on it. It was never a goal, let’s say.”

It even took work for Kristin to make Charlotte believable when it came to marital desires. “That took some acting, let me tell you,” she added.

Melanie Griffith

The actress has been married four times, including two unions with Miami Vice icon Don Johnson. After her 2015 divorce from actor Antonio Banderas, she said she was done tying the knot. “I really don’t think it’s relevant for anyone anymore,” Melanie explained.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Rusell

The couple have been together for 39 year as of 2023 but never wed. Goldie had previously been married twice and didn’t see the need for it a third time. “The question is, ‘Why (get married)?’ it’s not, ‘Why not?'” she said in 2012. “We love each other. We fight the way people are supposed to fight. We love our lives together.”

Four years later, Goldie said in a 2016 interview, “If you have independence, if you have enough money and enough sense of independence and you like your independence, there’s something psychological about not being married. Because it gives you the freedom to make decisions one way or the other. So, for me, I chose to stay, Kurt chose to stay, and we like the choice.”

Sarah Silverman

Despite long-term relationships with actor Michael Sheen and late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, the comedian has never had a desire to walk down the aisle. “Just read that I wanna get married which is hilarious b/c I will never get married,” she wrote in a September 2014 tweet and has stayed true to her word.
