The carpenter of a successful talk show
Drew Barrymore, about to celebrate her 50th birthday, is experiencing one of the best moments of her life. She is the host of her own talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, which has achieved great popularity on North American television. He not only stands out in his professional career, but has also shared personal reflections that have generated admiration and surprise.
A confession that surprised everyone
To the surprise of many, Drew Barrymore revealed that she has lived more than five years of self-imposed celibacy, having lost interest in intimate relationships. This radical decision was due to a stage in her life where she sought to rediscover herself.
A complex love story
Barrymore has been through three marriages that did not exceed five years. Her first marriage was to Jeremy Thomas in 1994, which she divorced just a year later. Her second wedding was to Tom Green between 2001 and 2002, and that marriage also ended quickly. In 2012, she married Will Kopelman, with whom she had two daughters, Olive and Frankie, but they divorced in 2016.
Reflections on his love life
After the end of her relationship with Kopelman, Barrymore confessed to feeling ashamed of her love history and the way the press held her responsible for their disappointments. This pressure influenced her decision to live without sex since 2016.
Celibacy decision and focus on self
The actress decided to stop seeing men and eliminated sex from her life. She explained to the media that she felt the need to be celibate and honor a type of mourning for the family she had hoped to have for her daughters.
A new focus in your life
Barrymore used that time to focus on herself and raising her daughters, distancing herself from intimate relationships. She commented that she was in a different place in her life and that, although in the future she might start a relationship, that was not her priority at the time.
The reappearance of desire
After more than six years of celibacy, Barrymore began to regain her sexual desire. During an interview with Whoopi Goldberg on her show in 2022, she mentioned being ready to trust in love and have relationships again.
Past and future relationships
Although she did not reveal whether she was in a new relationship, Barrymore said she preferred to keep any personal ties private to avoid media scrutiny. She appreciated the lessons learned from her during her loneliness phase and expressed her intention to move forward in her love life normally.
