Barrymore found fame as a child star in E.T. – she had her first public relationship with Corey Feldman at 14 and her first wedding at 19, but she divorced 3rd husband Will Kopelman in 2016

Drew Barrymore has spent nearly her entire life in the spotlight. At just seven years old, she starred in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which became the highest-grossing film of the 1980s, catapulting her to international fame.

This meant that her private life and her relationships were also constantly in the public eye. Here’s a look at the relationships she has been in over the years, from her celebrity boyfriends to her three marriages.

At 14 years old, Barrymore began dating fellow teen star Corey Feldman, who was 17 at the time. The two connected while filming 15 and Getting Straight, an after-school special where they played teen patients in a recovery programme. The couple attended the 61st Academy Awards together in March 1989 and broke up a little over a year later in April 1990.

Next, 16-year-old Barrymore began dating 24-year-old Leland Hayward III, grandson of famous Hollywood producer Leland Hayward, who was behind The Sound of Music. The two were briefly engaged, but they called it off before officially tying the knot.

Barrymore was later linked to her co-star David Arquette. While Arquette asserts that they dated while they were “very young kids”, Barrymore has denied that they’d had a romantic relationship then in an interview with Howard Stern.
