I am a difficult person to lead,” the talented woman once explained.

Jane Austen must have been the first writer to perfect the ‘chick lit’ subgenre. Even though her heroines always engage in passionate romances, it would seem like the writer did not have time for her own. There was a time when she was engaged for a couple of hours. She ended up calling it off after having a change of heart! After that, she chose to spend her days focusing on her work.

I just haven’t decided to do it.”

Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman made a name for herself with her unusual opinions and ability to make us laugh. Once asked about marriage, she said, “I’m not against marriage, but it’s just not for me. I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and crazy. If you’re getting married today, it’s the equivalent of joining a country club that doesn’t allow blacks or Jews.” In the past, she has been linked with men like Michael Sheen and Jimmy Kimmel.

In 2010, she told the Daily Beast, “I’m sure my parents’ divorces did affect me in some way, but also in my life, in general, I don’t see a lot of marriages that look appealing to me. Because I’m not married I tend to get a lot of eye-rolling conversations with people about their marriages. Why would I want to head there? I want love in my life, no question about that. But I have a ton of it.” While she is single, she did adopt two girls that she is raising on her own.

In 2009, she talked to Daily Mail about it. She said, “I think marriage would be quite good for me, but I’m not going to just go out and hire someone.

Chelsea Handler

Chelsea Handler has to be one of the funniest people in the industry at the moment. Let us see what this opinionated lady has to say about marriage. She once said, “Never married. Never murdered. Marriage PSA: You Can Say No.” She has since changed her mind about it and said, “I realize now that you can be committed to someone without commercialization and all that nonsense. So now I’d get married.”

Eva Mendes

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes make up a gorgeous couple together. The actor and actress now have two children between them. In 2011, she explained, “I’m not like anti-marriage or the institution, like other people. I love the idea of a union but I think, it’s a very old-fashioned, archaic kind of thing. We did it for land originally. How unromantic is that?” We don’t know about you, but we definitely agree.

Before Susan Boyle impressed everyone by joining Britain’s Got Talent, her life could not have been any more different. She was a single woman before she made it big and remains one until now.

In n2013, she spoke to Haute Living and explained, “if I did marry, it would be someone so awesome, I would bring him in and potentially share time with Gemma. I don’t know that I necessarily totally intended to still be single, though I do remember being young and thinking, ‘Why are all these people getting married?’ But I’m an actress. I’ve never exactly been the status quo.” She now has an adopted daughter called Gemma Rose.

Monica Lewinsky

It is pretty unfortunate that Monica Lewinsky will forever be associated with former POTUS Bill Clinton.

Aside from that, she was married to Justin Theroux for two years before they started leading separate lives. We sure hope that she eventually finds the right person for her.

She has a fascinating romantic history, although neither of her two marriages survived the test of time. At the moment, she is in a committed relationship with NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Do you think they are going to end up tying the knot? We sure hope so!
