No scandals, no high-profile breakups, no public drama.

Just two fiercely independent creatives who built a quiet, loyal partnership far from the glitter of Hollywood marriages.

But as Gervais turns 64, he’s finally peeling back the curtain on why he’s never put a ring on itβ€”and his reasoning is both brutally honest and heartbreakingly simple.

In a candid new interview, Gervais was asked the question that’s haunted him for years: Why haven’t you married Jane? And this time, he didn’t dodge it.

β€œBecause we don’t need to,” he said flatly.

β€œWe don’t want to.

And to be honest, we never believed in it.

Gervais explained that he and Fallon made the decision early on in their relationship not to get married or have childrenβ€”a decision that baffled many, especially given their rock-solid bond.

β€œWe’re not married, we’re not religious, and we don’t need a piece of paper to prove we love each other,” he said.

β€œWe’ve been together longer than most married couples, and we’re still laughing every day.

But there’s more to it than just anti-tradition sentiment.

Gervais went on to admit that one of his biggest fears is losing what they already have by turning it into something it was never meant to be.

β€œWhat we have works.

Why change it? Why mess with the chemistry? I’ve seen what happens when people turn something natural into a box-ticking exercise.

It kills it.

He also touched on the public pressure that comes with marriageβ€”especially when you’re in the spotlight.

β€œEveryone wants the fairytale.

They want the wedding photos and the happy ending,” he said.

β€œBut we’re not here for that.

We’ve had our happy ending every day for the last forty years.

Just no one’s watching it on Instagram.

Still, fans have long speculated whether there were deeper reasonsβ€”more emotional, maybe even painful onesβ€”behind the comedian’s lifelong stance against marriage.

And in this latest interview, Gervais dropped a truth bomb that stunned even his most devoted followers: He doesn’t believe in permanence.

β€œLife’s temporary.

Everything is.

Love is real, but it’s not a contract.

It’s a choice you make every day, not something you sign once and forget.

He continued, β€œI’ve seen too many people stay in miserable marriages because they felt like they had to.

That’s not loveβ€”that’s fear.

Jane and I? We choose each other.

Every day.

That’s more powerful to me than any vow at an altar.

Jane Fallon, for her part, has echoed similar sentiments in past interviews.

Known for her bestselling novels and fierce independence, Fallon has often described their relationship as β€œfreeing” and β€œequal,” calling Gervais her β€œpartner in crime” rather than a traditional husband.

β€œMarriage never defined us,” she once said.

β€œWe never needed it to.

Their unorthodox love storyβ€”built on choice, freedom, and mutual respectβ€”has become a surprising source of inspiration for many.

While some critics have accused Gervais of being β€œafraid of commitment,” the longevity of their relationship seems to prove the opposite.

In fact, their partnership has outlasted countless celebrity unions that began with lavish weddings and ended in bitter divorce.

Fans took to social media in droves following the interview, with reactions ranging from admiration to disbelief.

β€œHe’s brutally honest, as always,” one fan tweeted.

β€œBut damn… part of me still wanted to see him walk her down the aisle.

” Another commented, β€œRicky and Jane have what most married couples wish they had.

Who needs rings when you’ve got real love?”

Despite the speculation and occasional media pressure, Gervais seems utterly unfazed.

β€œWe’re happy.

Isn’t that the point?” he said.

β€œPeople get married for the wrong reasons all the timeβ€”status, tradition, Instagram likes.

We stayed together for the right one: love.

The raw, messy, imperfect kind.

And there it isβ€”the most romantic thing Ricky Gervais may have ever said.

No filters, no rom-com clichΓ©s, no ceremonies.

Just two people who never needed the world’s approval to prove they were meant for each other.

So while the tabloids may never get their fairy tale Gervais-Fallon wedding, fans now know the truth: what they have is something rarer than rings and vows.

It’s real, it’s raw, and after 40 years, it’s still going strong.
