In an interview forAARP The Magazine’s April/May 2023cover story, theBook Club: The Next Chapteractress, 77, opened up about her career and never getting married. Keaton, who welcomed daughterDexter, 27, and sonDuke, 22, via adoption in her 50s, told the magazine it’s “highly unlikely” she’ll ever date again.
“I don’t date. 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,” said the Oscar winner.
Later, Keaton also explained how she’s found companionship with her dog 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, ‘Okay, I guess?’ Of course, now I just love her,” she said. “Dogs are irresistible. They’re just idiots. Reggie is a big jerk, and she’s hilarious.”

In January,Extraasked Keaton how long it has been since she went on a date. The actress answered, “Let’s [say] 15 years. They probably just thought, ‘Enough’s enough … she’s too weird.’ I’m kind of odd, but I’m doing fine. Someday,someone will marry me. Maybe one of these nice men today that have to deal with me today.”
Keaton told PEOPLE back in 2019 that shenever wanted to be a wife. “Today I was thinking about this,” she said at the time when reflecting on marriage. “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.”
