Don’t tie him down! The 58-year-old — who shares two daughters with two exes — said he doesn’t want the “pressure” of marriage in his life. “The 2.5 children, the wood paneling on the station wagon and the cottage, I didn’t think that was for me,” he told E! News. “A lot of those [kinds of] marriages ended up not doing well as the kids got older.”

“I’m single AF,” the 55-year-old said of rumors she was dating singer Omarion in 2023. Earlier, the Boyz n the Hood star expressed ambivalence about the institution of marriage. “I don’t know that I need to say ‘I do’ to prove to you that I love you,” she explained to Essence. “But also, what does marriage really [mean] … that you own me now and I own you? I don’t get that part.”

Thrice divorced, the talk show host has admitted she’s dating, but she has no need to wed again. “Never. Never, never, never,” the 50-year-old told People. “And I also believe people should not say the word ‘never,’ and I will never, with a capital N-E-V-E-R, never get married. I never want to be entwined with someone like that again ever.” Joking about a Hollywood screen legend known for her seven husbands, Drew said she could either give up the idea of a fourth hubby, “or be Elizabeth Taylor.”

The Oscar winner, who recently dished on the Call Her Daddypodcast about a “f**king amazing” hookup with a 26-year-old guy, doesn’t prioritize finding a spouse. “I never wanted to get married,” the 50-year-old single mom of two stated. “That’s never been something that’s important to me.” She explained to Howard Stern that her life is too full for such a commitment, adding, “My life right now just doesn’t allow a lot of room for something like that to happen. But in saying that, [marriage is] not this thing that drives me.”

The Oscar winner’s five-year marriage to Jesse James famously imploded — amid rumors of his cheating — in 2010, so it’s no wonder that the 61-year-old was wary of wedding again. (Her long-term boyfriend, photographer Bryan Randall, died in 2023.) “I don’t wanna say do it like I do it,” said the mom of two on Red Table Talk. “But I don’t need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother.”

The Gladiator star has been with girlfriend Britney Theriot for five years but recently swore on 60 Minutes Australia that he has no intention of walking down the aisle with the 42-year-old. “All these reports coming out that Britney and I are engaged and I’m going to get married again? No,” said the divorced dad of two, 61, adding, “My life is joyous and happy. Why ruin that with a wedding?”
