Famous novelist Louisa May Alcott was also born and raised in the conservative times of the early 19th century and the American civil war. Alcott decided to not get married altogether, opting instead to stay single for her entire life. May Alcott grew up among many of the world’s most famous intellectuals of the time, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, so she definitely had her pick of big-brained men to choose from. But apparently, her single lifestyle was entirely by choice.
When asked about choosing to stay unmarried (unlike her female written characters), she explained in an interview, “I am more than half-persuaded that I am a man’s soul put by some freak of nature into a woman’s body … because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.” That would certainly have cleared things up.
Jacqueline Bisset
The drop-dead-gorgeous actress, Jacqueline Bisset has been working since 1965 and is still active today. Needless to say, she has never been at a loss for suitors when it comes to the love department. The actress has even had the luck to carry out not 4, but 5 different long-term relationships. But for some reason, she never ended up finding the one that was worth sticking around for.
Just like it is with many other high-profile celebrities, many of Jacqueline’s relationships were inevitably public, including her time spent with Emin Boztepe (1994-2005) - a martial arts instructor, and Vincent Perez (1988-1992), who is a Swiss actor. She even reunited with Boztepe for another short run at love in 2007, but that attempt lasted barely a year.
Jorja Fox
Another star on our list that has a recurring role in a crime drama show is Jorja Fox. Fox is famous for her regular role as Sara Sidle in the CBS police drama, 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'. After CSI, the actress faded relatively into obscurity and wasn't seen as much. She's an avid activist for the Human Rights Campaign and is obsessed with vegetarianism and animal rights.
It's believed that the actress has dated CSI co-star Lelah Foster. However, rumor has it that she also went out with actor Gary Dourdan, who was another co-actor from the show, and later dated Suzanna Mara - a Hungarian who appeared in a few films from the '90s. So it’s pretty safe to say that Fox ultimately played for both teams. Still, she enjoys being single.
The Feres Twins
These identical twins are absolutely gorgeous, and also happen to be accomplished synchronized swimmers, models, and actresses. The twins have been rumored to have competed at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, but it turned out to be false, although the twins still proclaim it on the Instagram account, which boasts almost one million followers.
Despite their looks and popularity, the twins aren't very big in the whole dating scene, probably because of their very high standards and absolute lack of time for anything that isn’t career-related. We've recently learned that Branca has been enjoying a relationship with Brazilian actor Bruno Gagliasso. But Branca claimed that their relationship was strictly professional. We’re still waiting for any news to stir up on Bia, but if her sister is dating, it’s only a matter of time until we see some romantic pics of her as well!
Jane Austen
Prolific writer Jane Austen is known for writing some of the most important pieces of female literature in history, particularly 'Sense and Sensibility, 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Mansfield Park', and 'Emma', which have all been adapted into films. Although the novelist frequently wrote about romance in her books, she never actually got married herself and was mostly focused on her writing. Austin was just like her heroines: charismatic, beautiful, and flirtatious, but for her, marriage was an economic problem due to the ways that it affected a woman’s estate back in the 19th century.
One of the most common theories is that Austen didn't marry because she had a taste for women, but there's little evidence to support this claim. She was known to be involved with Tom Lefroy, who later became the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, but the novelist refused to marry. She passed away at age 40, which was not so uncommon just a few centuries ago. When Austen passed away she was still unmarried and had no children of her own, unless you count her novels, which remain a legacy to this day.
