In the since-deleted image, Barrymore, Kopelman and their daughters are enjoying smores on the beach.

"#REMEMBERCLOSENESS is an unused hashtag. Let's fill it TODAY!!!!" she captioned the post, encouraging her followers to share photos of their own loved ones.

"I miss my galentines and family and CLOSENESS today. Let's remember the times where we didn't think about cramming in! Smooshing. Snuggling. Nuzzled and cozy and free.

"I need these reminders because it's all becoming a surreal blur and I can't take it… These pictures are my treasures. And I just needed to put them out to try and get something positive started that reminded myself of how we used to love and live."

In September 2020, Barrymore said she had no time for dating.

During a chat with Jane Fonda on her talk show,The Drew Barrymore Show, Barrymore, 45, said she could relate to the 82-year-old Oscar winner, who has "sworn off men."

"Recently you said that you were swearing off men," Barrymore said to Fonda. "Can I please talk to you about this? Because I think I'm there and have been there for the last five years. Why am I here, why are you here, what's happening?"

Fonda said Barrymore was too young to be swearing off anything, saying she'd realised her life was fulfilling enough without a romantic relationship.

"Who has time?" she asked, which Barrymore passionately agreed with.

"Yes, this is where I've been at," she said.

"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."

"Well, you can squeeze a little affair or two in there. I'm all for it," Fonda responded.

Barrymore has been single since her divorce from her third husband Will Kopelman in 2016. Together, they co-parent seven-year-old Olive and six-year-old Frankie.

The former child star's first public relationship was in 1989, confirmed when a 14-year-old Barrymore attended the Oscars with then-boyfriend Corey Feldman.

By 1991, Barrymore, then 16, was engaged to boyfriend Leland Hayward, namesake and grandson of Hollywood producer Leland Hayward. The engagement was called off after a few months.

The following year she got engaged to actor Jamie Walters. Walters photographed her nude for the cover of the July issue ofInterviewmagazine; she also appeared nude in pictures inside the issue, despite being only 17. Their engagement ended in November 1993.

Barrymore met her first husband, Welsh-born LA bar owner Jeremy Thomas, in early 1994. She was 19 and he was 31 when they called a 24-hour minister to marry them at 5.30am, after a friend of Thomas joked about it.

The marriage swiftly ended - after only 19 days, according to Radar Online.

"I realised my mistake on the day I married him," Barrymore has said of the relationship.

After her divorce, Barrymore was introduced to Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson by her then best friend Courtney Love, and the pair dated for about a year from 1995-1996.

Barrymore then briefly dated Edward Norton before falling for herHome Friesco-star Luke Wilson.

"From the moment I saw him, I realised he was the most incredible person I’d ever been so fortunate to meet," she told People magazine in 1998.

They dated for about two years, breaking up just before they were set to star alongside each other inCharlie's Angels,which Barrymore also produced.

It was on the set ofAngelswhere she met her next love: comedian Tom Green.

Throughout their relationship, the pair were known for their pranks, including one onSaturday Night Livewhere they pretended they were about to get married, before Barrymore left him at the altar.

In early 2000, Green was diagnosed with testicular cancer and in his bookHollywood Causes Cancer, he shared; "we lived together for a year before we were engaged, and we were engaged for a year before we got married."

They married in March 2001 and Green filed for divorce in December that same year, citing "irreconcilable differences".

In 2017, Green described the marriage as "part of that sort of crazy, whirlwind of a time," confirming he hadn't spoken to his ex for "many, many years" and was "really happy that she's doing good."

The following year he said their relationship went through a lot of pressure.

"I was probably new to show business... I'd just gone through cancer as well - I had testicular cancer - so it was just probably a lot of stresses."

Barrymore went on to have an 11-month relationship with herConfessions of a Dangerous Mindco-star Sam Rockwell, before a five-year relationship with The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti.

In 2003 she stated she was bisexual in an issue ofContact.

"Do I like women sexually? Yeah, I do. Totally. I have always considered myself bisexual. I love a woman's body. I think a woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful," she told the magazine.

"Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally - I love it."

In March 2007, former magazine editor Jane Pratt shared on herSiriusXMSatellite Radio show that she had an affair with Barrymore.

In August 2007 Barrymore began dating actor Justin Long, who she starred with inGoing the DistanceandHe's Just Not That Into You.

Despite breaking up in 2010, the exes are still on good terms, according to a 2018 interview by Long.

"We are in touch. I love Drew," he told US Weekly.

In March 2020,Paper Magazineposted a series of pictures of Long on Instagram with the caption: "Might get fired for this but. F**k it. Justin Long appreciation post."

Soon after, Barrymore commented: "Your [sic] not wrong! He's great."

Long replied: "Ah what do YOU know?!"

In 2011, 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 really I like watching him be a father," Barrymore told
