Christopher & Georgianne Walken

Some might say that children complete a family, but this isn’t always the case. Just take Christopher and Georgianne Walken, for example. The couple has been together for over 50 years and is still going strong, despite choosing not to have children. As for the reason why, the actor once opened up that his work had held him back from fatherhood and that his priorities were set on his career. For them, it was more of a practical choice, fully knowing that working in the film industry also means dealing with periods of unemployment. Walken says that he was able to get by during those times because he had no kids depending on him.

Nonetheless, their family is a strong and happy one. They do have one child in the form of his beloved cat, Bowtie. As simple as it may seem, it’s clear that the Walkens have found their formula for happiness—one that no amount of investment money would change.
