Drew Barrymore, a lifelong public figure, has recently shared that she identifies as bisexual, marking a powerful new chapter in her personal journey. Known for her breakout role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and a career spanning decades, Barrymore’s openness has long endeared her to fans.
Her romantic history has often been in the spotlight. In the ’90s, she was briefly married to bar owner Jeremy Thomas and engaged to actor Jamie Walters. She later married comedian Tom Green, and in 2012, wed Will Kopelman, with whom she shares two daughters, Olive and Frankie. Though divorced in 2016, Barrymore and Kopelman continue to co-parent with mutual respect.
As a single mother, she has spoken candidly about the challenges of dating while raising children. On The Drew Barrymore Show, she’s reflected on past relationships with warmth and humor, even reconnecting with former partners like Tom Green and Justin Long.
Now, in affirming her bisexuality, Barrymore says she has long found same-sex relationships “beautiful and natural.” Her honesty has resonated deeply, reinforcing her image as a relatable, authentic voice in Hollywood—one who embraces her true self and encourages others to do the same.
