Drew Barrymore has opened up about her sexuality, proudly confirming she identifies as bisexual.
The 50-year-old actress has been in the spotlight since childhood, starring in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial at just six years old.
Now, she’s sharing a deeply personal truth.
Barrymore’s love life has often made headlines. She’s been married three times, all of which ended in divorce.
In the 1990s, she was briefly engaged to Leland Hayward III and later to actor Jamie Walters.
She wed bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994, splitting only two months later.
In 2001, she married comedian Tom Green, but the pair divorced within a year.
Her longest marriage was to art consultant Will Kopelman, with whom she shares two daughters, Olive and Frankie.
The couple separated in 2016 but continue to co-parent.
Speaking openly, Barrymore said she has always been attracted to women as well as men.
“Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual,” she revealed.
She added: “I love a woman’s body. I think two women together are beautiful, just as a man and woman are beautiful.”
“Being with a woman is like exploring your own body but through someone else,” Barrymore continued.
The actress has previously admitted that dating as a single mother comes with unique challenges, but she is proud of who she is.
