Diana Ross Enjoys Fame But Feels the Absence of Love: Pals Say It’s Time to Date Again

The Supremes once sang You Can’t Hurry Love, but pals are telling Diana Ross, who has been single for nearly 20 years, that she needs to reach out and touch somebody’s hand sooner rather than later!

But the 81-year-old diva, who is currently in the middle of a world tour, claims she’s too busy to date!

“Diana thrives on performing and the adoration of her fans,” says an insider.

“When she’s not on the road, she’s planning her next tour. She tells friends she hasn’t given up on love and she would love to meet someone, but she never does a thing about it. Success is sweeter, but she does seem lonely without a partner to share her life with, however busy she is.”

Following a relationship with record exec Berry Gordy from 1965 to 1970, the Endless Love singer was married two times, to Robert Ellis Silberstein from 1971 to 1977, and to Arne Naess Jr. from 1985 to 2000.

But her last romance, with actor Jon Voight, fizzled after a year in 2006, according to our mole, and she hasn’t dated anyone since.

“The problem is she won’t make the first move on finding dates. She’s got to venture out there if she wants guys to notice. There are plenty of men who’d love to be her main squeeze if she gave them the chance,” the spywitness insists.

“No one wants to see Diana alone, and people tell her all the time she can have a partner AND a career — if only she would believe it herself!”
