Drew Barrymore, a Hollywood icon whose career spans from childhood stardom to multifaceted success, has recently opened up about her s*xuality in a way that’s both heartfelt and empowering.
Known worldwide for her breakout role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and her evolution into a respected actress, producer, and talk show host, Barrymore is now adding a bold and personal chapter to her public narrative.
Her romantic life has often captured media attention, marked by a series of relationships and marriages that reflect her journey through love and self-discovery. Over the years, Barrymore has been engaged twice—first to actor Jamie Walters and then to Leland Hayward II.
She also experienced brief marriages: a two-month union with pub owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994, and a similarly short marriage to comedian Tom Green in 2001.
Most recently, Barrymore was married to Will Kopelman, with whom she shares two daughters, Olive and Frankie. Though their marriage ended in 2016, the pair have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship, navigating parenthood with grace and mutual respect. Barrymore has candidly discussed the complexities of dating while raising children but remains open to love’s possibilities.
Her journey through love and heartbreak has been a recurring theme on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she reflects on her past with humor and honesty. Emotional reunions with former partners like Tom Green and Justin Long have added depth to her story, revealing a woman who embraces her past with warmth and resilience.
In a recent and widely discussed revelation, Barrymore courageously shared her identification as part of the LGBTQ+ community, specifically embracing her bis*xuality. Speaking openly to Contact Music, she said, “Do I like women s*xually? Yes, I do. Absolutely. I’ve always considered myself bis*xual.”
Barrymore’s words painted a vivid picture of her attraction: “I love a woman’s body. I believe two women together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman feels like discovering your own body through someone else.”
This honest declaration adds a powerful layer to Barrymore’s already inspiring story—a testament to living authentically and embracing one’s truth. Her openness not only resonates with fans but also contributes meaningfully to broader conversations around s*xuality and self-acceptance.
