Who needs a big white wedding to prove their love? Certainly not these A-list celeb couples who are totally committed without the “Mr. & Mrs.” titles. They’ve been together for years, started families, and built lives together without walking down the aisle. How romantic is that?

One of Hollywood’s most famous non-married pairs is Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. They’ve been going strong since 1983, despite Goldie being previously married twice and Kurt once. When asked about their union in 2007, Goldie told Women’s Day, “I already feel devoted, and isn’t that what marriage is supposed to do? So as long as my emotional state is in a state of devotion, honesty, caring, and loving, then we’re fine.”

Goldie and Kurt aren’t the only VIP duos who have opted out of traditional nuptials. Check out our gallery for more celeb couples who have proven that you don’t need a wedding ring to have a happy ending.

Eva explained why staying quiet works for them in a 2020 Instagram. She told fans, “It just works for us this way, To stay private … I’ll only post flashbacks of things that are already ‘out there’ (like pics from movies we did or stuff like that). My man and kids are private. That’s important to me so thanks for getting that.”

Though they got engaged in 1992, the media mogul realized she didn’t want to be married. “I wanted to know he felt I was worthy of being his missus, but I didn’t want the sacrifices, the compromises, the day-in-day-out commitment required to make a marriage work,” she told her magazine in 2020. “My life with the show was my priority, and we both knew it.”

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor met back in the early 2000s but didn’t get romantic until 2015. They’ve been together since, but have opted against the rings.

Holland explained why she wasn’t quite comfortable with the idea of marriage in a 2015 interview, before the age-gap couple went public. She said, “I would not do that publicly. My relationship is with a woman, and I have not — given my generation it would not be something that would automatically occur to me. But she’s mentioned it because just from a spiritual point of view, from a heart point of view … as a deed that has a very rich symbolic gesture to it, it has its attraction.”
