Trevor Noah Revealed What He Really Thinks About Marriage After Being Called a ‘Loser’ for Being Single After 40: ‘They Treat You Like You’re Not a Serious Person…’
Trevor Noah will always embrace the single life. After being linked to top celebs like Minka Kelly and Dua Lipa, the former late-night host is candid about dating in your 40s.
The comedian has always kept his love life private and has expressed that there have been other types of love that he cherishes. In his 2016 memoir, Born a Crime, Noah recalled how his mother, who raised him in Johannesburg, South Africa, taught him about love. “Love is a creative act,” he wrote. “When you love someone you create a new world for them. My mother did that for me, and with the progress I made and the things I learned, I came back and created a new world and a new understanding for her.”
Is Trevor Noah married?
Trevor Noah isn’t married and has pretty unorthodox feelings about the concept of marriage. For example, he believes that married couples shouldn’t live together. “I’m a big advocate for not living together ever, even if you’re married,” he said on The Howard Stern Show in 2019. “I think one of the biggest reasons people get divorced and relationships breakup is because of this cohabiting bullshit that we’ve come to believe is the way relationships are supposed to be. You cannot tell me that everyone was designed to live the same way. Our intimacy can be expressed in different ways, and that’s what’s beautiful.”
On an episode of his What Now? podcast, The Daily Show alum revealed that “it doesn’t bother me at all” if people see him as a “loser” for being single and unmarried.
“Society has deemed me a loser whether I like it or not,” the Grammys host shared. “Being married is like you’ve served. There’s a certain honor that comes with it. If you’ve never been married, there’s this weird thing that people do to you where they treat you like you’re not a serious person in life.”
He also acknowledged that he doesn’t believe in one singular significant other, saying that “the most significant others in your life are your friends.”
“There’s something romantic in this idea that we should be diversifying the portfolio of our emotions,” the comedian said. “Sometimes they yield benefits, and sometimes they add value to my holdings.”
He added, “Obviously, there is no one way to live life.”
