Actress Drew Barrymore, 47, said she doesn’t “need” sex because she’s learned that physical intimacy doesn’t mean love. In a new blog post, she said that since splitting from her ex-husband Will Kopelman, 44, in 2016, she “hasn’t been able to have an intimate relationship.”
“I’ve had the honor and pleasure of really working on myself and learning what it’s like to be a father, again something that wasn’t exactly clear growing up and I’ve had a lot of learning curves along the way,” wrote the artist, who is Olive’s mother. , 10, and Frankie, 8, from their relationship with Kopelman.
She went on to say that her divorce made her more “cautious” in her personal life, and that she learned to raise her daughters to be “empowered and to love themselves”. “I’m in a completely different place in my life and maybe in the near future I’ll be in a relationship…but it just hasn’t been my priority.”
“I’m not a person who needs sex and needs to go out and engage with people on that level. I’m someone who is deeply committed to promoting as girls, my daughters and I as a woman should function in this world!”
The actress said she “needed to remain very celibate” to honor and mourn “the loss of a nuclear family that I swore I would have for my daughters and to find grace and acceptance and what our new blended family normal would be.” At the end of the text, she made it clear that she doesn’t hate sex, but that she “has finally come to the epiphany that love and sex just aren’t the same.”
