Some celebrities tend to run off and get married at the drop of a hat, while others seem to be doing their best to avoid walking down the aisle. After years of dating and one paparazzi shot after another, none of these celebrities have been spotted with a rock on their finger. We took a look at some celebrity couples that seem content to just be dating their sweethearts rather than getting hitched. Will they eventually tie the knot? Who knows, but until then, they belong on our Celebrity Couples Who Don’t Need Marriage to Prove Their Love list:
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick:
Here is a couple that has been through it all…except marriage. They have been dating for years and display their relationship on the Kardashian’s shows Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kourtney and Kim take New York, and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. The couple has two children, Mason and Penelope. After all these years of dating and two children later, Kourtney still has not been spotted sporting a diamond of any kind.
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell:
The sweet Overboard couple have been together since 1983. They have a son, Wyatt Russell. Hawn has two children from a previous marriage and Russell has a son from a previous marriage. Their children has since made them grandparents. After decades of tying the knot on screen in their multiple movies together, they have yet to take the big step in real life.

Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto:
This long-time love story seems to have one hitch: no plans on getting hitched! They got engaged on Christmas Eve of 2011, but since then, there has been no talk of marriage from either party. Will the plans stop at an engagement? We’ll find out!

Lebron James and Savannah Brinson:
Maybe it’s a trend with the basketball players these days, but it seems like James is following Jordan’s game plan. After proposing to his high school sweetheart in 2011, James has not made any moves since. Now they have two kids and only engagement under their belt. Is the marriage in the works? No word about that for the past two years!
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard:
This couple decided to take a stand against California by not getting married. They got engaged in 2010 and have a daughter together, however, they refuse to get married until California passes a law allowing gay marriage.
