Drew Barrymore has revealed she’s back in the dating world after being single for ‘so many years’.
The 47-year-old actress divorced from Will Kopelman in 2016, and now she’s back on the scene.
Speaking to Whoopi Goldberg on the latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, he host asked her guest: ‘The last time you were here, we both were single. You weren’t dating. Are you dating now? I am.’
Drew admitted she was concerned she might be ‘too good at being alone’ after being single for so long.
The 50 First Dates star added: ‘Because it had been so many years, I started to get a little worried, like I’m too good at being alone.’
Whoopi insisted she would never get back on the dating scene ‘for good’, but advised Drew: ‘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.’
Earlier this year, the mum of two – who has daughters Olive, 10, and Frankie, eight, with her ex husband – opened up about her romance struggles with Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk.
She said at the time: ‘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.’

Last year, she revealed she had been on a dating app, although she found it tough to connect with people.
‘It makes me feel like such a loser and then you are like, “It is hard out there,”‘ she explained. ‘It is hard out there for everybody. It is hard in person. It is hard on dating apps. It is vulnerable, but you keep trying.’
While Drew is open to love again, she has ruled out the idea of getting married for a second time.
She said: ‘There’s no reason to be [married]. I would maybe live with someone again, maybe, but I’ve had kids and there’s no way, I will never, ever, ever, get married again.’
