Diane Keaton Reveals Why She Never Got Married

Diane Keaton is a rom-com queen and a seriously snazzy dresser, so surely dudes must be lining up to date her, right? During a chat with fellow comedic icon Lisa Kudrow for Interview magazine, the "Annie Hall" star acknowledged that she never felt as though marriage was the right path for her because her parents' relationship always seemed somewhat unequal. 

"I love my dad, of course — that goes without saying — but she was always there, and he was always working," Keaton shared. As a result, her mother gave up her life to raise the children and create a home for their family.

"There was no more trying things out. I feel like she chose family over her dreams. And she was just the best mother, but I think that she is the reason why I didn't get married. I didn't want to give up my independence," the actor revealed. 

However, fans will be shocked to learn that, according to Keaton, nobody was asking her, either. She's been linked to several A-listers over the years, including Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson (her co-star in "Something's Gotta Give"), and even serial womanizer Warren Beatty, but nobody wanted to tie her down. If she could've married any of them, it would've been her boyfriend of five years, Pacino, she says.

During a previous chat with People (via ABC News), though, Keaton reasoned that being unmarried isn't the worst thing that could've happened to her.
