Drew Barrymore Opens Up About Dating Post-Divorce: ‘I’m Not Ready… I’m Still In Shock’

By Brent Furdyk.

Last year Drew Barrymore announced she and husband Will Kopelman were seeking a divorce, but in a revealing new interview she admits she’s not ready to dive back into the dating pool yet.

Appearing with “Santa Clarita Diet” co-star Timothy Olyphant in a Sirius XM town hall hosted by Andy Cohen, the 41-year-old actress opened up about her dating life — or lack thereof.

“I’m not ready, I’m not open to it,” she said of dating. “I’m still in shock. Gonna take a while.”

And while Barrymore says she’s “never been on a dating app” she does admit to looking over friends’ shoulders when they’re swiping left and right — but not on Tinder.

“By the way, Raya,” says Barrymore of the exclusive dating app for creative/famous types (one has to submit an application to be accepted) that’s been jokingly dubbed “the Illuminati Tinder.”

Adds Barrymore: “If you wanna date an actor or musician, they’re all on Raya. It’s like looking through a SAG portfolio…and just going, ‘I wanna date him.'”

When she does consider dating again, Barrymore says she doesn’t think there will be any apps involved. “I remember when you were just waiting for that phone to ring, and then you were worried, ’cause you would miss their call,” she says. “There’s a part of me that still dates from that kind of perspective.”
