As regards marriage, it is not a secret anymore how uninterested the famous actress is in getting hitched. It was assumed once that she has been abandoned by men over and over again so she got put off with the male idea. Kristin has not out rightly come out to give the reason but is definitely happy with the life she has. She just has never been one to follow the status quo.
