The actress revealed Wednesday on "The Drew Barrymore Show" that she can go "years" without having sex.
"What’s wrong with me that six months doesn’t seem like a very long time?" she joked to co-host Ross Mathews about actor Andrew Garfield saying he abstained from the act for half a year to prepare to play a priest.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I was like, ‘Yeah, so?’" said the mother of two, who has admitted she does not "know how to date with kids."

"That’s the headline: ‘Drew can go six months, no big deal,'" Mathews said, promoting her to clarify "oh, years."

The "He’s Just Not That Into You" star is not currently in a serious relationship and told the "Today" show in 2020 she was "scared" to find love again after her divorce and felt a part of her had "closed."

Earlier this year, she talked about the struggles of dating as a single mom.
"I’m not there yet," she said on her show. "I have two young girls, and I don’t want to bring people home. I think that it would take me a very long time to meet someone and get to know them before I could ever even introduce them to my daughters."

She said for a long time she convinced herself it was her choice not to date but "I don’t think I’ve said out loud that it’s really because I have two daughters."

"I’m not really aggressively looking, but watching this old-fashioned show was weirdly this keyhole entry point for me to accept the modern world because I am so old-fashioned," Barrymore told James Corden on the "Late, Late Show" of watching "Bridgerton," a period romance.
