Drew Barrymore's Candid Dating Insights
Barrymore's candid revelation about her dating motto, "if you don't work, we don't work," resonates with fans and sparks lively discussion.
In a recent episode of her self-titled talk show, Drew Barrymore opened up about her personal life, sharing insights into the types of men she avoids dating. Joined by guest Martha Stewart, the conversation quickly turned to their shared views on relationships, particularly the qualities they find undesirable in potential partners.
The discussion kicked off with Barrymore inquiring about Stewart's latest Netflix documentary. Barrymore praised a segment where Stewart reflected on her past marriage and her relationship with ex-husband, tech billionaire Charles Simonyi.
Stewart's candidness in the documentary was evident when she stated, “I don’t care so much about how you’re feeling, I care about what you’re doing. And it’s always been like that, I always care about ‘what are people doing with themselves?’”
Barrymore then posed a pivotal question to Stewart: had she ever been involved with “an idle man”? Stewart's response was immediate and emphatic, expressing no interest in such men, which elicited laughter from the audience. Barrymore, sharing her own experience, admitted, “I can’t recommend it.”
“A man not doing anything?” she asked Barrymore, before emphatically saying no. “They don’t interest me,” she shared as the audience burst into laughter.
“I have,” Barrymore shared, saying, “I can’t recommend it. I wouldn’t think of it!” said Stewart, to which Barrymore replied, “it took me being with an idle man to realize that my motto is ‘if you don’t work, we don’t work.’”
This candid conversation resonated with the audience and social media followers alike. The show's Instagram post featuring the clip quickly garnered support for Barrymore's stance. Fans praised her motto, with comments such as, “Great motto! I am going to steal that,” and “Amen to that! .”
Drew Barrymore’s personal life has been marked by both great success and intense personal struggles, which have shaped her into the multifaceted person she is today. Born into Hollywood royalty as the great-granddaughter of actor Maurice Barrymore, Drew’s early years were spent in the public eye.
However, the fame came with dark challenges. At age 9, Drew was already struggling with drugs and alcohol, and by the age of 14, she entered rehab for the first time. Her rebellious youth led to a tumultuous relationship with her family, but over the years, she’s forged a sense of independence and resilience that has defined her adult life.
'Marriage, Divorce, and Motherhood'
As an adult, Drew’s personal life continued to be filled with highs and lows, particularly in the realm of relationships. She has been married three times. Her first marriage, to bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994, ended after a short period of just a few months. Her second marriage to comedian Tom Green in 2001 also ended in divorce after less than a year. However, it was her third marriage to art consultant Will Kopelman in 2012 that brought her stability for a time.
Together, they had two daughters, Olive and Frankie, and Drew has often spoken about how motherhood profoundly changed her perspective on life. Despite their divorce in 2016, Drew has maintained a good co-parenting relationship with Kopelman, which she credits for helping her feel grounded and balanced. Drew has been open about how her experiences with love and family have shaped her into a more self-aware, empathetic person.
In recent years, Drew has embraced a new phase in her life, both professionally and personally. As the host of 'The Drew Barrymore Show', she’s demonstrated a remarkable blend of vulnerability, humor, and authenticity, building a deep connection with her audience.
Drew has spoken candidly about her struggles with mental health, her journey through therapy, and the ways in which she is learning to navigate the complexities of life. As a single mother, she has also become a vocal advocate for women’s empowerment and self-care, often sharing her own journey of healing and self-acceptance.
Drew's life may have been marked by a series of challenges, but she has consistently shown a remarkable ability to reinvent herself, finding new ways to embrace happiness and love—whether with her children, friends, or her evolving sense of self.
