Even though Johnny Depp tattooed “Winona Forever'” to his upper arm during their three-year engagement with Winona Ryder, the two sadly would not last forever, but Ryder believes it was for the best.
Nowadays, Winona is happily dating her long-term beau, fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn, and beyond that, she’s not sure getting hitched is worth it. “I’d rather never get married than to be divorced a few times.” And, according to director Francis Ford Coppola, she may have actually married Keanu Reeves while filming The Guardian, so maybe she’s not so single after all?
Jon Hamm
We would do well to not get him confused with his iconic character Don Draper — Jon Hamm isn't nearly as serious as his fictional character. On the show "Mad Men" his character was twice divorced, but in his personal life - the actor has never been married. Hamm was in an 18-year relationship with fellow actor Jennifer Westfeldt, but they never actually got married.
It was for the best that they never wed, seeing as they went their separate ways back in 2015. So how much fun can single life be for someone considered to be the sexiest-man-alive? "It's fine," he says before adding quietly, "It's difficult to be single after being together for such a long time. It's tough. It's a bummer."
Shakira
We would be surprised to find out that Shakira isn't actually married? She's had a long relationship with Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, and the couple had two children before separating, but they never really got married.
While they were still together, Shakira announced their relationship already worked as a married couple and that "they don't need papers for that". And as we all know, Shakira (and her hips) don't lie.
Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow appeared on the music scene in the early '90s, but her hit songs still ring true today, and at the age of 55, she also happens to be a working single mom. While raising her two sons by herself, she writes songs whenever the single mom has a spare few seconds. With that being said, she hasn't closed herself off to the idea of getting married just yet.
When she does meet the one, Sheryl knows now what she'd do differently. "I think I would skip getting engaged next time, as she has been engaged a couple of times. If ever again, I was that close to getting married, I would just go for it." We like her decisiveness!
Lucy Liu
We admire anyone who lives their life by their own rules, and that's precisely what Lucy did when she had her son through a gestational carrier, she decided to become a single mother, and she's doing it with style. When interviewed about her new role as a mother, she said, "My work and my personal life used to overlap, but now that I have a child, it's very different."
Liu has the backing and support of her close friends whenever the single mom needs help or some time off. Lucy is unusually secretive about her love life, but if her "unconventional" route to becoming a mother is anything to go by, any relationship she's in won't be too conventional either.
