At 77 years old, Diane Keaton thinks it's safe to say she's over the dating scene. In the April cover story of "AARP [1]," the actor shared her feelings towards love, and why she's so content with being single [2]. "I don't date," she said. "Highly unlikely. I don't remember anyone calling me, going, 'This is So-and-So, I'd like to take you out.' They don't happen. Of course not."
While Keaton may be done with dating [3], she's surrounded by a loving family, including her 27-year-old daughter Dexter, and 22-year-old son Duke, both of whom she adopted in her 50s. She's also a dog mum to a golden retriever named Reggie. "A friend of mine gave her to me. I didn't even ask for her. He came to me and said, 'I think you need this dog.' I was like, 'OK, I guess?'" Keaton said. "Of course, now I just love her. Dogs are irresistible. They're just idiots."
Although Keaton doesn't see herself dating anymore, her romantic history has included stars like Woody Allen [4], Warren Betty, and Al Pacino [5]. She never married, but she told People [6] in a 2019 interview that she honestly preferred it that way. "I'm 73 and I think I'm the only one in my generation and maybe before who has been a single woman all her life," she said. "I don't think it would have been a good idea for me to have married, and I'm really glad I didn't, and I'm sure they're happy about it too." Cheers to Keaton, an icon for singles everywhere.
