American politician, lawyer, and university administrator, Janet Napolitano is one of those women that put work before everything else, with such focus that they completely give up on the romantic and familial aspects of their life. Her most prestigious political achievements so far were being elected as the 21st Governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009, and as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security from 2009 to 2013. In 2012, Napolitano was listed by Forbes as the ninth most powerful woman in the world in the world.
Napolitano claims to love basketball, tennis, softball, rafting, and hiking. However, she never had children and has never married. As with such public figures, people tend to speculate. This caused many to speculate that Napolitano may just possibly be gay and in the closet about it. Napolitano responded to these speculations by saying that she is “just a straight, single workaholic”.
Sheryl Crow
The 57-year-old singer/songwriter Sheryl Suzanne Crow doesn’t look a day over 40, yet she sure has gone through some major love life drama over the years. She seems to have everything going for her, from looks to talent to the whole Hollywood musical career, but she can’t seem to get it right when it comes to romantic relationships.
We do know that once upon a time, in 2003, the talented Ms. Crow used to enjoy her relationship with famous cyclist Lance Armstrong. Eventually, the world learned about Armstrong’s illegal substance use during his cycling competitions, which he used to enhance his performance while on the bike. Since his secret was blown after the two had broken up, maybe Lance suspected Cheryl of blowing his cover, or maybe it was just creative differences, but either way, the two never got back together, leaving our Californian country-rock singer single ever since.
Kourtney Kardashian
Fans have been arguing for years on end on the subject of which Kardashian is the best-looking one, and which one is the best to marry. In our opinion, we think that Kourtney Kardashian is the best answer to both of these questions. She is one of the world’s biggest reality stars and currently has three children from her prior relationship with Scott Disick. But the couple eventually broke up due to various issues and infidelity on Disick’s part.
With 83 million Instagram followers and her own spinoff show, called "Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami" and "Kourtney and Kim Take New York", it's a big mystery why nobody has been able to snatch this one up yet. Albeit, her high-profile status may seem intimidating to some. In 2022 Kourtney tied the knot with her new love Travis Barker in Portofino, Italy. Go Kourt!
Harper Lee
Just like the other female novelists on our list, Harper Lee, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the iconic 'To Kill a Mockingbird' did not have children and was not married during her lifetime of almost nine decades. She was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1926, as the youngest of four children, and attended an all-female college in Montgomery. Most people don't know that Lee had only written one book between the mid-’50s and 2015, before writing "Go Set a Watchman" as a spiritual sequel to her popular "To Kill a Mockingbird".
Lee's friend and former neighbor, Marja Mills, wrote a biography of the author called "The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee". In her book, she explained that Lee had multiple successful relationships with men, but none of them had ever advanced to the level of marriage. Perhaps Harper, like many others, was just too ahead of her time in her thoughts and beliefs for any man to really handle.
Owen Wilson
If there’s one actor in Hollywood that’s too sweet to be single, it would definitely be the comedy actor Owen Wilson. This pretty boy has the looks, personality, and sense of humor that most women claim to look for in a man, but despite dating various actresses (including Sheryl Crow, Gina Gershon, Kate Hudson, Jade Duell, Caroline Lindqvist, Scarlett Benchley, and even Varunie Vongsvirates), he has never gotten married — although he did get pretty close!
Wilson dated famous actress Kate Hudson when he was 50 and she was in her 40s after the two met on the set of the 2006 comedy "You, Me and Dupree". Despite not being married, Owen Wilson currently has two children from two different mothers.
