Key Highlights :
In the interview, Barrymore shared that she's currently single and not looking to date. She said that at 48, she's genuinely "tired and exhausted" by the thought of it. Drew added that she's been seeing a therapist over the years and is "curious to examine why" she's "not open to a relationship."
Drew also shared her thoughts on why she's not open to a relationship. She said, "I really think I have some serious s*** buried. And I don’t know if it’s like I need to try an MDMA treatment or psilocybin as a way to get to some state where I could see things in a different way."
The actor also reflected on her past relationships, including with art consultant Will Kopelman. She and Will married in 2012 but split four years later. Drew said that the divorce took a toll on her and she started drinking to cope, but then she quit for two years.
"Then the pandemic happened, and I was like, thank god I got my shit together," Drew said. “Because I am the strongest I’ve ever been. Then we were building [The Drew Barrymore Show], and it was hard, challenging, scary, emotional, exhausting, and overwhelming, but I could handle it. Which was so great because the divorce convinced me I couldn’t handle things.”
Drew Barrymore's honest and open interview shows that she's taking the time to reflect on herself and her relationships. She's not rushing into anything and is taking the time to figure out why she's not open to a relationship. It's a brave and admirable move that will hopefully help her find the peace and love she deserves.
