Shonda Rhimes
Shonda Rhimes is one of the most celebrated icons in television. The Grey’s Anatomy creator and MFA in Screenwriting degree holder has helped produce numerous hit TV shows. For this reason, she might not have that much time for love and marriage. In an interview with Oprah, this Master of Fine Arts degree-holder once opened up that she did not want to risk losing the ability to live her life exactly how she wanted. Apparently, there’s no tying down for this girl boss! Despite being unmarried, Rhimes does want to start a family. And so, she has adopted two daughters and recently had a biological child by getting a gestational surrogate to carry the baby to term.
Allison Janney
Allison Janney’s list of accomplishments outweighs her list of lovers. Off the top of our heads, we remember her recent accolades include: seven Primetime Emmy Awards, three Critics’ Choice Television Awards, four Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Drama Desk Awards, two Outer Critics Circle Awards, an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award, three Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards! While she has once been engaged to ex-boyfriend Richard Jenik, the multi-awarded star is happy with her decision not to commit and not having kids. She admits in an interview that she was scared of her recurring dreams wherein the man she marries ends up turning completely different after they tie the knot. One thing that won’t change, however, is her investments of trophies from a long-running successful career!
Coco Chanel
The fashion mogul not only created an iconic brand but has also made a lasting impact on the fashion community through her contributions. Building an empire and investment planning takes a lot of work and dedication, which is why it’s understandable that Chanel did not have much time for marriage and family life. Although the fashion designer has been involved with quite a few big names. First was a brief relationship with the composer Igor Stravinsky. Soon after, she began a long-term relationship with the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, after they met on his yacht. The pair’s romance lasted several decades, which eventually led the duke to propose. In the end, Chanel declined his proposal.
Kourtney Kardashian
We’ve all watched Kourtney Kardashian and then-boyfriend Scott Disick’s relationship unfold on the reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. For several seasons, we’ve seen the highs and lows of their rollercoaster romance, including the birth of their three children: Mason, Penelope, and Reign. But the couple never legally became Mr. and Mrs. While Disick almost proposed in 2011, he eventually decided against it after the Kardashian sister questioned why the pair would want to change things if it was good as of the moment. In early 2019, the eldest Kardashian sibling shifted her focus to the launch of her beauty and lifestyle brand Poosh. While her love life might have been confusing, at least her business wouldn’t be, with the help of the Kardashian clan as her financial advisors!
Ricky Gervais
The award-winning actor has never been one to hold back about his opinions and tales from his personal life. Ricky Gervais has been in a long-standing relationship with Jane Fallon since 1982, but they have no children to date. With their relationship spanning nearly 4 decades, you’d think the lovebirds will have tied the knot by now. However, neither of them see the point of a marriage ceremony as a formality. The comedian is known and given credit for his quirky and unusual takes on the topic, so this decision is definitely very on-brand of him.
Lauryn Hill
Ever since her show business breakthrough 20 years ago, Lauryn Hill’s career has taken a strange road, to a certain degree. Similarly, it seems like her romance and relationships have been going on the same route! The singer was in a relationship with Rohan Marley, the music legend Bob Marley’s son. Their love blossomed for a good 15 years, where they shared 5 children together and lived under the same roofing happily. In spite of this, the pair never decided to settle down and say “I do”. Despite their falling out, the pair remains civil and fond of each other. Marley even recently wished Hill a happy birthday! Is it too soon to hope for a rekindled romance?
