19 Celebrities Over 40 Who Have Never Married!

It seems as though all celebrities get married at least once. While many of them divorce, a select few manage to make it work. There are, however, some celebrities in Hollywood who don’t marry. Some deliberately choose not to tie the knot while others simply haven’t met the right person. Here is our list of 19 celebrities you’d be surprised to learn have never married!

19. Benicio del Toro

Benicio del Toro – who is 46-years-old – has never married nor does he plan to in the future. When he was promoting his film “The Wolfman,” he spoke candidly about his opinions on marriage. “Everyone says, ‘Why isn’t he married?’ But it’s like, ‘F*ck! Why do I have to get married? Just so I can get divorced?’”

I mean, we did it for land, originally. How unromantic is that?”

We’ll see what happens in the future. I don’t try to determine what the future will be. I take it day-by-day,” the actor said.

9. Hugh Grant

Considering that he was caught soliciting a prostitute while he was dating Elizabeth Hurley, it really shouldn’t be that surprising that 53-year-old Hugh Grant has never gotten married.

8. Owen Wilson

Owen Wilson has never been married – despite having two children with two different women – and this may due to his lack of focus when it comes to his romantic relationships. “It is the same story (that) I’ve had with most of my relationships.

3. Lauren Graham
