Drew Barrymore Shared Her Struggles In Dating As A Single Mother

Being a single parent is never an easy task. You must assume the responsibilities of both parents while taking care of your children – without a partner. And finding a new partner who would love you and your children may bring more pressure. Those are also the difficulties that Drew Barrymore has encountered.
Drew Barrymore, a Hollywood sweetheart, has appeared in a long list of memorable films and has won a Golden Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award. But now, she is a single mother of two lovely girls, Olive and Frankie.

Drew Barrymore had a childhood different from many other children, and she felt quite alone. That is why she makes an effort to ensure that her children have two parents, even though they are not together as a couple. Despite the fact that they got divorced and Will has his own family, they still get together for their children's birthdays, holidays, and even vacations.

As a mother, Drew is very careful to make decisions that could affect her daughters. She appeared on a show and she admitted to not knowing how to date after having children. “I think that it would take me a very long time to meet someone and get to know them before I could even ever introduce them to my daughters.”

Drew doesn't want to date someone else at this moment. “I would maybe live with someone again, maybe, but I’ve had kids, and there’s no way. I will never, ever, ever, ever get married.”
