Actress Drew Barrymore, who has tied the knot three times, has said that while she may be a hopeless romantic she will never get married again.
Speaking to People magazine ahead of the debut of The Drew Barrymore Show, the entrepreneur and mother-of-two said: "I am a hopeless romantic, and everybody on this planet needs love in some form.
"And we are constantly contending with relationships. Love and those relationships may look differently for people. But it's there at its core. So, I can't help but want to explore and examine that."
The 45-year-old star, who has two daughters, Frankie, seven, and Olive, six, with ex-husband Will Kopelman, added that she plans to talk about relationships when her new daytime talk show hits the small screen.
She also revealed that she has dabbled in online dating, saying, "I've tried it. I went on a couple of dates.
"A lot of people totally ghosted me. And one time I was waiting to go on a date, and at the time we were supposed to meet he just wrote, 'Yeah, I can't.' But I’d rather hang out with my friends."
However, she was very clear about her attitude to marriage. "Never. Never, never, never. I will never get married again!" she said. "And I also believe people should not say the word 'never,' and I will never, with a capital N-E-V-E-R, never get married.
"It’s like I have two options: Cut it - this has not worked - or be Elizabeth Taylor. And I have too many more to go. I never want to be entwined with someone like that again ever.
"You break up, and you move on. You get divorced, and it’s just so different. I love that we are trying to hold on to an institution that [started] when the closest person to you for companionship was a three-day horse ride away and your life span was 30 years."
However, she added: "It doesn’t mean that maybe I wouldn’t like to meet someone, especially when my kids go off to college.
"Or a year from now, I could be totally in love. I’m open to it; I’m not seeking it. My cup runneth over. I have so much love in my life."
