14 Celebrities That Chose Single Life and Didn’t Regret It One Bit

It’s love that writers devote most of their books to, musicians their songs, and directors their movies. This is why when people consciously decide not to get into romantic relationships with other people, they look like black sheep. And friends and family keep asking, “Don’t you feel lonely?”

We at CHEERY are convinced that happiness can be different for everyone. And famous people prove this idea.

Emilia Clarke

The star of Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke, gets hundreds of questions about her personal life. The actress keeps saying that there’s nothing terrible about a woman being single.

Clarke says that it’s in her nature to take care of someone. But it doesn’t have to be a man or a child. Sometimes, a woman just has to learn to take care of herself. So, at the moment, she has been single for 3 years: her last romance was in 2019 with director Charlie McDowell.

In recent years, the actress has been giving all of herself to work, and she simply has no time or power for her personal life. And she’s not sad about it. She has a lot of plans for the future, and the most important one is to spend as much time with her children as possible.

Throughout his life, Al Pacino has had many romances with Hollywood stars, but he never married any of them. He did all he could to avoid it. When Diane Keaton started talking about getting married after they had been dating for several years, he ended the relationship immediately. He still loves single life. By the way, not being married didn’t stop Pacino from having 3 children.

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg has been married 3 times. And every time she got married was because of social pressure. It took her years to understand that living with someone was not her thing. She divorced her 3rd husband back in 1995. Today, she values her freedom and enjoys making her own decisions. When she became single, she finally felt happy.

Sharon Stone

By the age of 64, Sharon Stone realized she was disappointed in men, so she decided that she would be single. The actress spends time with her friends and family, and romances only make her life more complicated. The Hollywood star thinks that men and women mature differently in terms of emotions, so having a relationship with them is like having another child.

Tracee Ellis Ross

On Valentine’s Day, Tracee Ellis Ross decided to thank all the close people in her life. Even though she is not in a relationship with anyone, she doesn’t feel lonely because she has her own “tribe”. Surrounded by her friends and family, she feels that she is full of love.

After many years of living without a partner, the actress has learned to enjoy her freedom. She says that everyone needs such experience because, when a person is alone, they start loving themselves for real and try to surround themselves with care.

Diane Keaton

John Cusack

John Cusack is the eternal bachelor in Hollywood. He has never been married and he’s not even planning to. It’s his choice: he doesn’t want to do what society tells him. He gets outraged when he is asked about getting married. He says that he could easily marry someone if he wanted to, but he won’t let anyone decide what he should do.

Fran Drescher

Fran Drescher is in a relationship with herself, and she enjoys it. The actress got divorced in 1999 and has been single ever since. She says that being single showed her what is really good for her. She spent a lot of time learning to be independent and not being afraid to be alone. Now, she calls that transition her big adventure.

Susan Sarandon

After divorcing her husband, Susan Sarandon swore to never get married again. The break-up was too traumatizing for her. But some time later, she realized that it was good to be single. A single woman has more time for herself and nice moments, such as long workouts, and meeting her friends. Sarandon says that she feels happy and full without relationships.

Elisabeth Moss

The star of The Handmaid’s Tale, Elisabeth Moss, says that she is obsessed with freedom. And she doesn’t want to lose it. The actress was married to comedian Fred Armisen from 2009 to 2011. She says that this relationship was very traumatizing. Maybe this is why the actress is not eager to date anyone else. The last time she had a relationship was in 2015.

Kristin Davis

Back when Kristin Davis was 20 years old, she realized she didn’t need to get married. When everyone around her got married, she was devoted to her work. Years later, her attitude to marriage has not changed. And when she wanted children, she consciously chose the role of a single mom. Davis is comfortable being a free woman.

She thinks that one of the advantages is not having to worry about the relationship. She just doesn’t date anyone. The last romance she had was 10 years ago with Aaron Sorkin.

What advantages of being single can you think of?
