Society has deemed me a loser, whether I like it or not. Being married is like you've served. There's a certain honour that comes with it. If you've never been married, there's this weird thing that people do to you where they treat you like you're not a serious person in life.

Has Trevor Noah been married?

The South African television host has never been married. In a 2 May 2024 episode of his podcast titled A Friendship Revolution with Rhain Cohen, he revealed that society has regarded him as a loser for being unmarried at his age despite his success. However, he said that it does not bother him.

It doesn’t bother me at all cause I'm single, and as you say, I’m successful, and that is good.

Due to his unmarried life, he also added that he is usually denied the opportunity to bring a friend to an event where only spouses are allowed.

I get invited to some events where people would be like, ‘You are invited,’ and then I’m like, ‘Oh, is there a plus-one?’ and they are like, ‘Yes, but for spouses…we can’t just give plus-ones to anyone.’ And I’m like, "This idiot got married six months ago. They don't even know this person, and you're going to tell me that I can't come with my best friend, who I can tell you every...detail about?

According to Trevor Noah, marriage is not a necessary proof of a strong connection between two people. He values friendship more than marriage, and thinks the most significant others should be friends.

As per E News, the singer-songwriter confirmed that she and Trevor were not dating on a 7 October 2022 episode of the Dua Lipa: At Your Service podcast. Dua Lipa confirmed that she was single in 2022, and she had not dated for a long time.

For me, this is the first year I've not been in a relationship for a very long time. It's been really great to just be alone and only think about myself and kind of be quite selfish.

I even said to my friend one day, 'Every time I see Dua Lipa, it's at an award show. So now that means if I see her, my life is going well. So, now I just hope to see her more so that it means my life is still going exceptionally well. You've always been really wonderful and gracious.

He never saw Zaheera again after her family moved to America. Zaheera is a girl whom Trevor Noah talks about in his memoir, Born a Crime. According to SparkNotes, he developed a crush on this girl who was his schoolmate.

The two became friends, and Trevor would talk to her more often. She broke up with her boyfriend, and Trevor would talk to her. He was afraid to tell his crush about his feelings. After winter break, Zaheera did not return to school, and Trevor found out that she had moved to America with her family.

A friend of Zaheera later told Trevor Noah that Zaheera had a crush on him, too, and would have said yes if asked to go on a date with him. The South African comedian felt so devastated after realising that he had missed an opportunity to be with Zaheera because he lacked the courage to open up to her about how he felt for her.
