More than 10 years after their breakup, exes Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have reunited for the first time.

For the season three premiere ofThe Drew Barrymore Show, Long joined the daytime television host to discuss his upcoming film,Barbarian. But first, the actors and former couple caught up.

"I love that we've maintained our love," Long told Barrymore. "I know that from my end, it'll never go anywhere. I will love you always."

Barrymore got teary and agreed: "I will always love you so much. You were so important to me."

"I feel like we've been through so much together, too," theSanta Clarita Dietactress continued.

"When we used to talk and FaceTime I was always like, 'You know, I've really grown up Justin.' I always wanted to prove to you what a different person I was than when we dated."

Long replied: "You were the best."

Barrymore and Long started their relationship in August 2007.

They dated for three years and starred in two films together -Going the DistanceandHe's Just Not That Into You- before breaking up in 2010.

Barrymore called the period "chaos" but "hella fun".

"We had so much fun but we were more hedonistic. A little more immature," the 47-year-old said. "We would get together, we would break up. It was chaos, it was hella fun."

"Fun chaos," Long, 44, replied.

One year after their breakup, Barrymore began dating her longtime friend, actor and art consultant Will Kopelman. They got engaged in December 2011 and married in California six months later.

Barrymore was pregnant with their eldest daughter, Olive, at the time.

They went on to have another daughter, Frankie, in 2015.

"Honestly, I don’t know how it is for other couples, but I like watching him be a father," Barrymore told People following Frankie's birth.

"I know everyone says you're supposed to put your couple-dom first. But I really love it being all about the kids. Maybe that's my compensating for not having parents myself or a childhood, but right now, the focus is about how we’re figuring things out as parents."

In 2013, Barrymore launched her makeup line, Flower Beauty. And in April 2016, she and Kopelman announced their plans to divorce.

"Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on," their statement said.

"Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority."

Their divorce was finalised in August 2016.

Since their split, Barrymore and Kopelman have maintained a close relationship and co-parent their daughters, who they mostly keep off social media and out of the public eye.

In 2018, Barrymore told Entertainment Tonight she'd given dating apps a go, but it didn't work out.

"I got off [dating apps]. It was fun to try though. I've been working out there in the public since I was young so that myth of the blind date eluded me and I always wanted to do it so that was like a dating app for me," Barrymore explained.

"But then it's not blind on my side so it just, I don't know, doesn't work."

And in 2020, the actress said she has no time for dating.

"I'm not closed for business but I have been in exactly that mentality for the last five years thinking, I just don't have the bandwidth, I just can't fit it in," she told Jane Fonda onThe Drew Barrymore Show.
