Who is the most famous person who never married? Eva Mendes tops our list. The 39-year-old actress was in an eight-year relationship with film-maker George Augusto. Mendes is currently dating Ryan Gosling. In 2011, Mendes shared her thoughts on marriage, stating “I don’t have a negative point of view on it.
