John Cusack began his acting career in the mid-80s and has been consistently appearing in various films ever since. The now 53-year-old actor was often seen with beautiful and successful women, especially actresses. He has been spotted dating Neve Campbell, Minnie Driver, and his co-star Lili Taylor, from the film “Say Anything”. His last public relationship was with the American fashion model and game show host, Brooke Burns. Since then, Cusack has made sure to keep his love life as private as possible.
Women have been fawning over the acclaimed actor from the day he stepped into the spotlight, and they have never really stopped since. When he was asked in 2009 why he has never been married, Cusack simply said, “society doesn’t tell me what to do.” We hope a strong-spirited woman might though; we can’t wait to see this handsome devil finally get hitched!
Coco Chanel
Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel was a fashion designer who worked profusely between 1909 and 1971. But of course, you know this fashion icon by the name Coco Chanel. Known largely for her designer purses and expensive perfumes, Coco Chanel, despite owning her own multi-million dollar brand and company, lived most of her life without a man by her side.
In fact, if you take a closer look at the woman behind this ultra-successful company, you'd find that the dazzling glorified Coco may not have been as fulfilled as we may have thought. Considering that, after all, she was one of the world's most famous fashion gurus, this goddess did have her fair share of love interests, most of whom attempted to court the young lady, only to be shot down politely. When asked on several occasions about her love life missing in the public eye, Coco said: “In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.” Fortunately for her suitors, they cannot be replaced anymore.
Cote De Pablo
Everyone remembers the Chilean-American actress and singer, Cote de Pablo, for her recurring role as Ziva David in the popular CBS crime show, 'NCIS'. In the show, Ziva is introduced as an Israeli citizen that appeared regularly throughout the series and was disciplined, self-reliant, good with guns, and skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The character had a relationship with various characters from the show, such as Anthony DiNozzo and Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Unfortunately, Pablo's real life is a little different.
Outside of the show, the actress doesn’t run a very successful love life. She used to date an actor named Diego Serrano, between 2000 and 2015. You’d think that after a decade and a half, one would decide that it’s time to get married, but the couple ended up not only unmarried but actually breaking up after an unfortunate string of events. Outside of that relationship, there’s not much to know about her dating history.
Greta Garbo
Born in a time when being married was considered a must for women, Greta Garbo was one of the pioneers in her decision to defy society and not get married during the '20s and '30s when her acting career had just begun. The actress actually ended up never getting married and decided to live alone. Her most famous romantic relationship was with frequent co-star, John Gilbert. They did have a good thing going while it lasted and helped each other out with their acting careers.
Gilbert was deeply in love with Garbo and repeatedly proposed to the actress, but she would always deny him or back out at the last minute. "I was in love with him,'' she said. "But I froze. I was afraid he would tell me what to do and boss me around. I always wanted to be the boss." Despite building herself an impressive estate worth around $30 million, the actress died without a partner or children and left all of her belongings to her niece, Gray Reisfield. Recent biographers believe that Garbo was either bisexual or lesbian and had intimate relationships with women as well.
Mae West
The actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol was one of the most active people in Hollywood at a time when the entertainment industry was just in its infancy. The actress was secretly married to Frank Wallace in her early years, until the two got divorced in 1942, after 30 years of marriage. Since then (and reportedly even through her marriage), the actress was involved with many men and even dated a man 30 years younger than her when she was 61.
The vixen’s romantic life is a huge chaotic mess that more closely resembles what you might see on a soap opera than anything else. She was once interviewed regarding her romantic relationships and said: “Men are my hobby – If I ever got married I’d have to give it up.” Despite her opinions and choices, which were quite ahead of her time, May managed to find a partner in Chester Rybinski, the muscle man from her show (who was 30 years her junior). Rybinski ended up taking care of Mae until she passed away in 1980, at the age of 87, but there was no ring on her finger at the time.
