After calling their attorney to settle things between them, the actress was asked when she’ll be dating again. She answered, “I don’t plan on marrying or even dating. I feel very self-sufficient at the moment.” These are powerful words from a very powerful woman.
Ricky Gervais
This may come as a surprise to some, but English comedian Ricky Gervais has never been married. According to the 59-year-old funnyman, he doesn’t believe in marriage. Don’t get him wrong, he’s actually in a record-breaking 38-year relationship with novelist Jane Fallon, whom he met while earning his degree in philosophy at the University of London.

Anyways, Gervais is the creator and executive producer for the Netflix comedy show After Life. He has performed six stand-up comedy tours and has won numerous awards. He also starred in the Hollywood films Ghost Town, For Your Consideration, and the Night at the Museum trilogy.
Eva Mendes
Of course, anyone wants to marry Eva Mendes. Given her Cuban beauty and charming personality, even Ryan Gosling fell head over heels for her. But nope, the question of marriage is not open for both of them. Despite sharing two lovely daughters, Mendes and Gosling are just happy to stay the way they are. The 46-year-old actress once said, “I’m not like anti-marriage or the institution, but I think it’s very old-fashioned.” Well, we get her point.

Susan Boyle
Who would ever forget her outstanding performance of Les Misérables’ I Dreamed a Dream? Her audition piece in Britain’s Got Talent garnered her a standing ovation from the audience. She even gained hundreds of thousands of fans, but no one had the courage to ask her on a date －not that we know any detail of her dating history. But Boyle once said she dedicated herself to caring for her aging mother and never had the time for love.
The 59-year-old singer stayed off the radar and lived a private life after reaching a degree of fame. She still performs occasionally and has released her eighth studio album in 2019. Now that she has more time, she might finally be able to go out with someone she’s attracted to.

Since then, Pacino has received numerous lead actor offers, including Serpico, Dick Tracy, Scarface, and Carlito’s Way.
Despite having high-profile relationships in the past, with actresses Beverly D’Angelo and Diane Keaton, Pacino has never said, “I do.” During an interview, the 80-year-old actor said that he isn’t actually avoiding marriage, but it just never happened. He has fathered three children from his former partners. Today, he is still working in show business and has an upcoming drama film called Axis Sally, where he’ll portray the attorney James Laughlin.

But aside from bagging these awards, what or who else does she treasure? Falco has two lovely kids whom she adopted in 2005 and 2008, respectively. Don’t even dare to ask her about marriage, as she claimed to be happy traveling solo. On one occasion, she said, “Why would I want to head there (marriage)? I want love in my life, but I have a ton of it.”
Drew Barrymore
You might think this A-list celebrity has got it all. True, but except for a boyfriend. Drew Barrymore is currently single.

She has two beautiful kids and several business investments under her care, so what more could she ask for?

When it comes to the funnyman’s romantic life, he likes to be pretty private to a certain degree. However, he once dated Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke. After they broke up in the early 2010s, there was no news of his love life. Maybe he decided that the bachelorhood was for him.
