Drew Barrymore & Justin Long break up

Drew Barrymore’s rep has confirmed that she and boyfriend Justin Long have split up, after dating for almost a year. I don’t know why, but of all the celebrity splits of late this one surprises me the most. Justin and Drew were just one of those couples that seemed really, really happy together. Like, ridiculously happy. They made a lot of sense together, and seemed to complement each other. I thought they’d been together a lot longer than a year… it was just something about their interactions. I can’t really put my finger on it. Of course Drew’s rep also said they remain good friends, which could actually be true since they were friends for seven years before they got together.

Maybe Drew Barrymore prefers PCs after all. The 50 First Dates star and her frequent PDA partner Justin Long have parted ways after nearly a year of dating, Barrymore’s rep confirms to E! News.

A source close to the pair told Us Weekly, which first reported the breakup, that they remain friends.

At least they’ll have some alone time before they have to simultaneously walk the red carpet at the premiere of the relationship-book-inspired ensemble comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, which hits theaters Feb. 6, 2009.

In March, she told Vogue that she was so happy, “my cheeks hurt.”

“They’re two peas in a pod, they’re made for each other,” Barrymore’s Charlie’s Angels costar Sam Rockwell told People just last month. “They’re like Mr. and Mrs. Warmth.”

Hopefully Drew and Justin are staying actual friends and not PR friends. Or that red carpet walk is going to be really awkward. They both seem like pretty happy, easy-going people, so you’d think that if anyone had a chance of being cool with each other it be the two of them.
