5. Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux
Aniston and Theroux have yet to get hitched, but the tabloids would have you believe that they're already married.

Time Engaged: 2 years, 9 months
6. Naomi Watts & Liev Schreiber
The British actress has been with the Ray Donovan star since 2005 but neither seems to be in a rush to tie the knot. In 2012, Watts told OK!, "We're very much together. We just don't have that certificate, and that's okay with both of us. Maybe one day, we'll just wake up and go 'Hey, let's do this.' And maybe not." The couple shares two children together -- six-year-old Samuel Kai and seven-year-old Alexander Pete.

7. Jennifer Hudson & David Otunga
The Oscar winner and the WWE wrestler, who both hail from Chicago, became engaged in August 2008 after dating for less than a year. They welcomed son David Otunga, Jr. a year later, but the two have had a rocky courtship and word of a wedding seems to be far off.
Time Engaged: 6 years, 9 months
8. Oprah Winfrey & Stedman Graham
The Oscar-nominated media mogul has famously been dating the businessman since 1986. Winfrey has her reasons for avoiding an engagement. "It's not because I never had time -- if I wanted to get married, I could've made the time," Winfrey told British journalist Lorraine Kelly in 2013. "I'm not a traditional woman and I haven't had a traditional life, and I think that had Stedman and I gotten married, we certainly wouldn't have stayed married." She explains that despite being a traditional man, Stedman would probably tell you the same thing. "I've taught him to be non-traditional," she added. "But the very idea of what it means to be a wife and the responsibility and sacrifice that carries -- I wouldn't have held that very well."
Time Dating: 19 years
9. Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell
The two film icons have been blissfully unmarried since 1983, but they have raised three adult children together. Hawn is twice divorced, while Russell has one failed marriage in his past, and daughter Kate Hudson says that history influenced her parents' decision not to tie the knot. "One of the reasons why they never got married is because they had been married before and they liked it the way it was," she told People. "They didn't feel like they needed a piece of paper to be committed. So for me, I know that marriage is not a golden ticket."
Time Dating: 31 years
