Joshua Jackson hasn't married Diane Kruger because they're not religious

NEW YORK, Oct. 17 (UPI) -- Joshua Jackson has been dating German actress Diane Kruger for the past eight years, but despite their commitment to one another the couple isn't planning to the get married at the moment.

In an interview with Glamour magazine published Thursday, the former Dawson's Creek star was keen on explaining why the two have yet to tie the knot.

"I can tell you why we're not married: We're not religious," he asserted.

I don't feel any more or less committed to Diane for not having stood in front of a priest and had a giant party. We're both children of divorce, so it's hard for me to take marriage at face value as the thing that shows you've grown up and are committed to another person.

He admits, however, that things "may change at some point."

"We may get married," he asserted.

Jackson currently stars alongside Ruth Wilson, Dominic West and Maura Tierney on Showtime's drama The Affair.
