Drew Barrymore Says She Doesn’t Need A Relationship: ‘My Daughters Are So Fulfilling’

Drew
Barrymore is single, but she’s not looking to mingle!

The
“Santa Clarita Diet” actress told InStyle that she isn’t rushing into
another romantic relationship because she already has the love of her two
children, 5-year-old Olive and 3-year-old Frankie.

“My
daughters are so fulfilling that I feel like my cup is just avalanching over,”
she said in the magazine’s February cover story. “If love took on a
physical analogy form, I’d be an overstuffed turkey or a piñata. So I’m not
really hungry for it at this moment. I don’t think I would have ever known that
I could be this content, this whole, without being in a romantic relationship.
That would have been a surprise to my younger self.”

The
Flower Beauty founder divorced her daughters’ father, art consultant Will
Kopelman, in 2016.

“My
girls make me stop—stop thinking and rushing and needing to do. They make the
whole world totally stand still,” Drew added. “They are the love I’ve
always wanted to know.”

And here it is. The official newsstand cover. Thank you for making me feel foxy. Acting like a women. Not just a overextended mom and worker bee! Sometimes playing dress up for any reason in the world can remind us “we still got it. And don’t lose it” because I know daily life isn’t like this. This is fantasy. A dream come true. Doing a magazine is a privilege. And a moment! This particular endeavor was worth sharing. As I am proud that it has a story and a cool angle. This issue inside the magazine has all different images, so let this leave you wanting more. The whole piece is just fun! And don’t we all just need fun in the world right now? Thank you @instylemagazine for bringing in the new year this way! Let’s all look back at our lives with loving eyes. Let’s all look forward like a bunch of bad asses and make this year epic!

For the nostalgic cover shoot, the 42-year-old star recreated looks from her childhood and reminisced about growing up in show business.

“From a young age, I was overly passionate and thought everything lived and died in a professional atmosphere because, back then, it was really all I had,” she said. “I didn’t have a family. I’ve been working as long as I can remember.”

But
with a production company, a makeup brand and a clothing line, the entrepreneur
is happy with how far she’s come over the years, both personally and
professionally.

“I’ve
grown and changed and evolved throughout the years, but I’m not, in spirit,
that different from the kid in the pictures wearing giant poufy dresses,”
Drew explained. “I just had a lot of rebellion that had to calm down. But
it did.”
