You might think that being a celebrity is amazing, solely based on the fact that you can date pretty much any person you want, but a lot of celebs are happily single and want you to know it! The conscious choice to be alone is still judged, especially if you’re a woman. Still, there are many celebrities who have been honest about the fact that they’re not looking for a relationship. Here are the top celebs in Hollywood who are loving being single in 2022.
1. Selena Gomez
Although she’s one of the most stunning women in the world, this popular actress has never been afraid to speak up about being single. Although the media has speculated based on seeing her with different guys, but she said in a TikTok video where she’s third-wheeling a couple showing affection, “I’m totally fine being single, it’s a real thing. It’s fine.” In 2020, she shared in an interview that she’s been alone for almost 5 years and said “I wouldn’t take anything back. I think this was so important to me.”
2. Tracee Ellis Ross
Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross has never been married, and she’s perfectly fine with that. She told Shape magazine that the lockdown during COVID-19 helped her find self-love in a new way, expanding, “But in my wonderful and robust experience of being single, I have learned to have a productive relationship with loneliness and an intensely juicy relationship with my joyful solitude, I really enjoy my company.” Ross stated further that actively loving yourself is important and that “you get back what you put in.”
3. Emma Watson
We’re obsessed with Emma Watson’s new term for being single: self-partnered. Watson used the term when celebrating her 30th birthday back in 2019. She spoke with British Vogue about how society pressures women to achieve relationship milestones with age and that the subliminal messaging started to make her feel “stressed and anxious.” Although it took her a while, Emma appreciates all the nuances of being self-partnered.
4. Fran Drescher
The Nanny has been flying solo for quite some time, and she’s fine with it. Her last relationship was one of the most public divorces in Hollywood. After being married for over 2 decades, her husband Peter Marc Jacobson came out of the closet, leading Fran Drescher to find love “with herself”. The time apart led her to not be co-dependent or fearful of doing things by herself, she told People magazine in 2020. She says she’s in a relationship with herself, and that it’s going “quite well.”
