He's number 8 on the never married, never had children list:

Childfree (and Childless)

People [A-M] / People [N-Z]


Ralph Nader
Activist
"Not having a family was clearly a choice, a sacrifice," Nader has admitted. "If you want to deal with these corporate abuses, you have to give up things."

Bebe Neuwirth

Sir Isaac Newton

Stevie Nicks
Singer, Fleetwood Mac
"For me, the price was that I never married and never had children because there was never time. And if I had ever decided to do any of that it would have taken Fleetwood Mac off for two years and the band would have broken up. So that wasn't even acceptable. That wasn't even a choice."


Friedrich Nietzsche
Philosopher

Florence Nightingale

In fact, there's a good chance he never even had sexual congress:

"Nietzsche's university education began at the University of Bonn, in October 1864, a choice that was largely dictated by coming out of Pforta and proceeding ahead with interests in theology and classical philology. His friend Deussen attended Bonn as well. But university life in Germany was very different from the structured, strictly intellectual life at Pforta; it was rather completely libertarian. Nietzsche joined a fraternity (Franconia) and attempted to embrace a rich social life, unknown to him before. It is during this period, so the story goes, that he was taken to a Cologne brothel by his fraternity brothers, with the hope of introducing him to the pleasures of company-with-women, an experience that left Nietzsche traumatized and that he reportedly met by sitting at the piano and playing through the night. [The suggestion is that this is where Nietzsche contracted syphilis, if indeed he ever had syphilis. Others, close to Nietzsche, suggest that he never had any sexual experiences, in his life.] "

No, he was never married and no children. He lived on and off with his sister during his life, who was his only living relative.
