    Minnie Driver is "so glad" she found love with her fiancé Addison O'Dea

    The 55-year-old star - who has previously dated stars including Matt Damon and John Cusack, and was engaged to Josh Brolin - has been dating the filmmaker, 46, since 2018, but she has encouraged women to be "celebratorily OK" if they don't ever meet Mr. Right.


    She told Grazia magazine: "1,000 per cent embrace the notion that you're never going to meet anyone ever again. Sit with it. Become celebratorily OK with it.

    "Then if a guy walks into your life - great. And if a guy doesn't walk into your life - also great. I would've been fine if Addison had never shown up, though I'm so glad he did."

    The Good Will Hunting star believes women shouldn't feel "incomplete" if they don't have a man in their lives.

    She added: "But we've got to get over the idea that we are incomplete if we don't have a man. It's not true."

    Last year, Minnie gushed over Addison, admitting she trusts him with her "whole heart".

    She told PEOPLE magazine: "I trust him with all of my heart ... Addy doesn't have an ulterior motive.

    "What I've realised is love is made up of all these things, but I've never seen them right off the bat in a person: respect, kindness, compassion, friendship, intelligence, humour and enormous security. I saw them very quickly in Addison."

    While Minnie is thought to be engaged to Addison, she previously admitted he doesn't want to marry.

    She told The Times newspaper: "I'm with someone who doesn't want to get married but who is the most devoted, loving, extraordinary ... Everything I could have wanted in my childhood idea of a husband, he actually is."
