Drew Barrymore Comes Out

Drew Barrymore, who has lived much of her life in the public spotlight, recently shared that she identifies as bisexual. The actress, producer, and talk show host — first known for her childhood role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial — called the revelation an empowering step in her personal journey.

Her relationships have long attracted attention. In the 1990s, Barrymore was briefly engaged twice, including to actor Jamie Walters, and had a short two-month marriage to bar owner Jeremy Thomas. These reflected the challenges of navigating fame at a young age.

In 2001, she wed comedian Tom Green, though their marriage quickly ended. Later, in 2012, she married art consultant Will Kopelman. The pair had two daughters, Olive and Frankie, before divorcing in 2016, yet they have maintained a cooperative and respectful co-parenting relationship.

As a single mother, Barrymore has spoken candidly about the struggles of balancing dating and parenting. On her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, she often discusses love and even reunites with past partners such as Tom Green and Justin Long.

Her openness about these experiences has connected deeply with her audience. She frames past romances not as failures but as formative steps in her growth.

Barrymore’s humor and vulnerability have helped her remain a relatable and enduring figure in Hollywood. Fans often praise her authenticity.

In her latest announcement, Barrymore confirmed she has long been attracted to women, calling same-sex relationships “beautiful and natural.” Her honesty has inspired many to embrace their own truths.
