Drew Barrymore reveals she is dating again after ‘so many years’

Drew Barrymore has revealed she’s dating again after being single for "so many years’.

The actress, whose divorce from actor Will Kopelman was finalised in 2016, told Whoopi Goldberg on the latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show that she was back ion the scene.

Barrymore told Goldberg: "The last time you were here, we both were single. You weren’t dating. Are you dating now? I am."

She went on to admit that she feared she was becoming too comfortable with being single.

She explained: "Because it had been so many years, I started to get a little worried, like I’m too good at being alone."

Actress Goldberg meanwhile, said she herself would never get back on the dating scene "for good", but told the Charlie’s Angels star that it’s a good idea to get back in the dating game slowly.

She said: "Maybe a hit-and-run is a better way to go, for now, until you say to yourself, ‘Now I really want someone to just be part of this.’

"Right now, that may not be what you’re looking for, which is probably why you’re doing fine."

The star who split from Kopelman - with whom she shares daughters Olive, 10, and Frankie, eight - after four years of marriage, spoke about her dating struggles with Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk.

She said: "I’m not there yet. I have two young girls and, like, I don’t want to bring people home…

"I think it would take me a very long time to meet someone and get to know them before I could even ever introduce them to my daughters."

She has also previously revealed she had been on a dating app and found it tough to connect with prospective love interests.
