CELEBRITY Marriage

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have a four-decade-long love story, which is more than most can hope for, but their decision to not get married has always left some people scratching their heads. Hawn recently spoke to CNN’s Chris Wallace about why they've never tied the knot, and asked, “Why should we be? Isn’t that a better question?”

“When it doesn’t work out, it ends up to be big business,” explained Hawn, who has already been divorced twice. Both she and Russell know the aftermath of divorce too closely. “It’s always ugly,” she shared, referencing the money, the newfound hatred for your ex, and the children who come into the crossfire.

When Wallace noted  that Hawn and Russell have been together for four decades, telling her, “You’re not going to get divorced," she responded, "How did you know that then? I like the idea that I can wake up in the morning and make decisions every day if I want to be here.” 

As history unfolded, the concept of marriage across many cultures became entwined with our idea of love and family, so much so that so much of the world took it for granted that marriage was one of the greatest aspirations in life. In recent years, however, the so-called lifelong bind of marriage has been proven to be something fickle, fleeting, and unlikely to last till death even has a chance to do it part.

Women particularly are pressured to find a partner and marry, especially those in the spotlight of celebrity, watched by those awaiting a romance plot off-screen. It's about time, then, that celebrities have started to reject the institution as a whole, setting a new precedent for all people who feel pressured to marry.

Some of these stars have always had a different idea about what love should look like, others have already been married and realized that they never want to do that again. Some are in healthy relationships, some don’t need relationships at all. Click through to see the stars who have no desire to get married, and find out the interesting reasons why.
