The Wedding Singer actress has sworn off dating after her ‘biggest failure’
DREW Barrymore has opened up for the first time about her split from husband Will Kopelman.
Drew, 41, was married to Will for nearly 4 years and they have 2 daughters together – Olive, 3, and Frankie, 2.
"I put in my statement about divorce the word 'failure' because it's so honest," Drew told Chelsea Handler on her Netflix talk show.
"Like, when you get divorced, you break up with somebody and you're like, 'Yeah, that didn't work,' and you get divorced,
[but] when you get divorced you're like, 'I'm the biggest failure. This is the biggest failure.'
"It's so shameful and hard to actually go through that, even privately."
The mum of 2 admitted that she’s still just putting "one foot in front of the other".
"It's a tough time. It's a hard thing to go through," she said.
"It's like you're being put on a cheese grater and every second, going, 'Ah! This wasn't the plan!'"
And Drew thanked her fans for their support.
"There has been this really nice feeling of something very fluid and positive and the opposite of how I felt inside," she said.
"Everyone has just been so cool and chill and nice about everything that it quelled my own fears and demons about how we sort of have to go through things in life."
But Drew admitted she won’t be dating again any time soon, she said: "What I do want is girlfriend time."
