13 Female Celebs Who Didn’t Give Up on Love and Got Married After 40

Several female celebrities have had multiple relationships throughout their life but found true happiness only after the age of 40. Despite this, it is believed that women over 40 only have a 40% chance of getting married. This may be due to the fact that at this age, women have a clearer understanding of what they really want from their partners. Below is a list of famous women who serve as an inspiration that it is never too late to find true love and start a new chapter in life.
