Actress-producer Drew Barrymore has reportedly gotten engaged to her beau of nearly a year, art consultant Will Kopelman.
People and Us Weekly magazines said Thursday that Kopelman proposed over the holidays in the ski-resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho. Barrymore has never officially confirmed the relationship, though the two have been seen romantically together in the United States and abroad. Her representative did not respond to Newsday's request for comment.
Kopelman, 34, the son of former Chanel chief executive Arie Kopelman, was raised in Manhattan and educated at the Taft boarding school in Connecticut and at Boston University. He dated actress Sarah Roemer ("Disturbia"), and in 2007, Elle Decor magazine declared his West Hollywood apartment "The Best Bachelor Pad in L.A."
This would be the third marriage for Barrymore, 36. She began as a child actress in films, including "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" and "Firestarter," and went on to star in such movies as "Scream," "The Wedding Singer" and the two "Charlie's Angels" pictures, which she also produced through her company, Flower Films.
In March 1994, when she was 19, she married Los Angeles bar owner Jeremy Thomas, 31, and filed for divorce less than two months later. Barrymore wed comedian Tom Green in July 2001 after a year's engagement; he filed for divorce in December that year. She then had a five-year relationship, from 2002-07, with Fabrizio Moretti, drummer for the band The Strokes.
She began dating actor Justin Long in summer 2007, splitting up the following summer. The two remained friendly, however, and starred together in the romantic comedies "He's Just Not That Into You" (2009) and "Going the Distance" (2010).
Barrymore also had two teenage engagements. At 16, she became engaged to Leland Hayward, 24, grandson of the same-name Old Hollywood producer; the following year she was engaged to actor Jamie Walters, 23 ("Beverly Hills, 90210").
Barrymore won a Golden Globe Award in 2009 for playing the real-life Edith Bouvier Beale in the Long Island-set HBO telefilm "Grey Gardens."
