Hamm Never Got Married

It might surprise fans to know that Hamm has never gotten married. The St. Louis native has reportedly had serious partners; however, getting married hasn't interested the actor, at least not as much as the public is aware.

Hamm never got married, but he is also in his 50s and has never had a child. Many believed that he was indifferent towards having children, unlike most celebrities his age in the entertainment industry.

When asked, Hamm revealed that he thought he would make a "terrible father" if he had children and wouldn't be able to stand the rigor that came with it. "I see my friends who have children, and I'm like, 'Dude, how are you even upright, much less here at work at 6 a.m.?" he expressed.

Many fans were supportive of him nonetheless, especially since people in his position may feel pressure to have children, but he isn't moved. His lack of interest in kids also inspired fans who intend to focus on other goals in life.

Hamm Was In Long-Term Relationships

Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt had a long relationship that lasted longer than most celebrity marriages. The two even worked on projects together, including romantic comedies like "Friends With Kids" in 2011, during their 1997 to 2015 union.

The comedy movie revolved around the general expectation that romantic love should include marriage and children, although fans and critics said the film had a relatively normal conclusion.

Though the two were in a nearly two-decade-long relationship, Hamm and Westfeldt broke up on friendly terms in 2015 but didn't reveal many details to the press. However, In Style reported that Hamm was in rehab for substance issues at the time and also frequented parties.

The media gathered that those were probably the reasons for the breakup, even though neither ex-couple confirmed the speculation. From a legal point of view, many fans also believed that their breakup was much smoother than a divorce would have been.
