Drew Barrymore, a lifelong public figure, has recently opened up about her sexuality, revealing that she identifies as bisexual. Known for her early breakout role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and a career spanning decades in acting, producing, and hosting, Barrymore’s latest revelation marks a new and empowering chapter in her personal journey.
Her romantic history has long been in the spotlight. In the 1990s, Barrymore was engaged twice, including to actor Jamie Walters, and had a brief two-month marriage to bar owner Jeremy Thomas. These early relationships reflected the turbulence of her youth and the pressures of growing up in the public eye.
In the 2000s, she married comedian Tom Green, though that marriage was also short-lived. In 2012, Barrymore wed Will Kopelman, with whom she had two daughters, Olive and Frankie. Although the couple divorced in 2016, they have remained close, successfully co-parenting their children with mutual respect and care.
As a single mother, Barrymore has spoken openly about the complexities of dating while raising kids. Her candor has extended to her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, where she often reflects on love and even reconnects with former partners like Tom Green and Justin Long in heartfelt, nostalgic moments.
Barrymore’s willingness to share her vulnerabilities has resonated deeply with her audience. Rather than viewing past relationships as failures, she frames them as experiences that have shaped her growth. Her authenticity and humor have made her a relatable and enduring figure in Hollywood.
In her most recent revelation, Barrymore affirmed her bisexuality, stating she has long been attracted to women and views same-sex relationships as both beautiful and natural. Her openness has inspired many, reinforcing her image as someone who lives authentically and encourages others to embrace their true selves.
