Drew Barrymore has been pretty outspoken on her dating life after her divorce from Will Kopelman. “Since entering life as a single mom, I have not been able to have an intimate relationship,” she wrote in her blog post on October 16. She mentioned that it isn’t her “priority” to be in a relationship. “I have just finally come to the epiphany that love and sex are simply not the same thing,” she added.
In a December 27 cover story for People, the talk show host opened up a little more on how the 2016 divorce affected her life, mentioning that she tried to drink away the pain. “It was just trying to numb the pain and feel good — and alcohol totally did that for me,” she said. She then said that her children got her out of the hard time, and she went to therapy to quit drinking.

In October 2020, Barrymore mentioned that she and Kopelman found a way to have a respectful relationship amid their divorce. “His family and I sort of made the most important choice: to be so together and united and connected,” she told “Today,” adding that she didn’t want her children growing up without a family like she did.
