Cameron Diaz Defends Her Single Life

Though she’s dated some of the hottest men from nearly every pop culture field, Cameron Diaz, 37, isn’t sold on the idea of a life-long love with that one special person. "Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years?" Diaz recently told U.K.’s Stylist magazine. "I think the big misconception in our society is that we’re supposed to meet the one when we’re 18, and we’re supposed to get married to them and love them for the rest of our lives. Bullshit."

The Knight and Day actress has never been married, though she was said to be briefly engaged to singer/actor Jared Leto in early 2000 before dating pop sensation Justin Timberlake for about four years. Diaz has most recently been linked to New York Yankees star athlete Alex Rodriguez. Though she has not confirmed any romantic commitments, she has firmly pledged to the idea that a girl should date long term, but in multiple instances.

"I think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person, but [if that’s the case], don’t do it," she said. "Have someone for five years and another person for another five years … You can have the love the rest of your life, but you might love someone else along the way, and there’s nothing wrong with that." –Natthakan Garunrangseewong
