Drew Barrymore opens up about dating challenges and fresh perspective for 2024 on 'The Drew Barrymore Show'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Drew Barrymore is sharing her fresh outlook on dating in 2024.

In a candid revelation on the recent episode of 'The Drew Barrymore Show,' the 48-year-old host discussed with guest Dan Levy about modern-day dating.

Drew Barrymore says she met the person she has been seeing on the dating app Raya

As Levy revealed to the daytime talk show host that he's been "single for a while" and "can barely find a date" on a dating app, Barrymore said, "I never find a date on the apps. Well, that's not true."

"The only dates I've ever gone on in the last seven years, which are very few and far between, are on an app," she added.

Barrymore's co-host Ross Mathews went on reading a fan letter asking Barrymore if she has "a fresh outlook on dating for 2024."

The 'Blended' actress who has been open about her apprehensions regarding dating, particularly after she split from Will Kopleman in 2016, expressed her determination to overcome her fears.

In October 2023, Barrymore revealed on her show that the person she had been seeing "in and around the last three years" was someone she met on Raya, the dating app.

Drew Barrymore is set to 'get rid' of her fear about dating

Currently, the talk show host who split from the father of her two children is now ready to "get rid" of her fear of putting herself back out there.

"No matter how badly you've ever been hurt, you have to not believe that that is what is in your future or that someone else deserves that baggage," she said in response to the letter.

"You have to be brave and you have to be convinced that each individual circumstance and situation is probably gonna present differently."

"It is not the repetitive fear in your mind that you project. I don't want to get into a type of dynamic that's going to disrupt my life or hurt my feelings," Barrymore continued.

"I have two kids, friends, a job. It's very abundant ... I have to get rid of my fear," she added.

Drew Barrymore previously said her relationship has taken a significant step forward

While the status of her relationship with the person she mentioned in her October show during an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow remains unclear, Barrymore revealed that their connection had taken a significant step forward.

"I invited him to a wedding next weekend, and he said, 'Wow, after three and a half years you are going to invite me to a wedding?'" she said at the time, according to ET.
