Drew Barrymore opened up about one of her shocking breakup stories in the latest episode of her talk show which aired on Tuesday morning.

On The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress, 50, shared a story about ‘one of [her] first boyfriends’ while discussing viral dating horror stories involving a partner’s mom.

She told her Drew Crew members, lifestyle expert Valerie Bertinelli and Drew’s News co-anchor Ross Mathews, that she left her then-boyfriend after telling him that he triggered her ‘mother issues.’

On the show, the trio discussed a viral story about a bride who called off her wedding after finding out that her fiancé had secretly bought a house with his mother and didn’t tell her. 

‘This happened to me,’ said Barrymore — who also recently opened up about a first date she went on lately that ended with something she claimed she ‘would never do.’

‘I totally have been through something like you’ve been through, although I was not engaged,’ she added.

Diving into the story, Barrymore recalled: ‘I moved in with one of my first boyfriends and I was really excited.

‘We get the most cute little house in Los Feliz, California. I’m like, “I’m gonna be a hipster with my live-in boyfriend. Oh my God, I’m Mary Tyler Moore-ing it!”‘ 

She said that after they moved in together, her then-boyfriend sprung some unexpected news on her. 

‘We move in, and he goes, “By the way, my mom is going to come stay with us.” And I was like … “Okay, that’s so cool. Like, for how long?” 

‘And he goes, “Like, maybe forever, indefinitely. She’s gonna move in with us.”‘ 

After he told her that his mom was moving in ‘indefinitely,’ she said she quickly dumped him.

‘I literally go: “I gotta go. I gotta go.” Are you out of your mind? Your mother? Have I met your mother?” 

‘He’s like, “No.” I’m like, “So I don’t know your mother,” and he’s like, “No, I-I think you’ll be fine.”‘

Barrymore frequently gets candid and opens up about her dating experiences on her talk show, which was renewed for a sixth season prior to the current, fifth season’s premiere in September. 

The actress has been married three times and shares two kids — daughters Olive, 12, and 10-year-old Frankie — with her third husband Will Kopelman.

Her first marriage was at age 19 when she was briefly married to businessman Jeremy Thomas, then 31, for less than a month. 

They had been dating for only six weeks when they tied the knot before calling it quits just 19 days later.

She married her second husband, comedian Tom Green, after meeting on the set of Charlie’s Angels in 2000 when the actress reached out to him to appear in her movie. 

They got married in 2001 but their short-lived union ended in divorce just a year later. 

Her third marriage was to Kopelman. She and the actor started dating in 2011, tied the knot a year later and ended up divorcing after four years of marriage in 2016. 

She has since talked about how her divorce from Kopelman was ‘very devastating’ and ‘took [her] a long time to recover from.’
