Drew Barrymore Opens Up About Body Insecurities Post Two C-Sections

On the April 6 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the host became visibly moved during a fashion segment. A guest’s weight-loss journey prompted Barrymore to reflect on her own body image and recent struggles.

Emotional fitting room moment

Guest Dawn Benwood described losing 75 pounds after years of being overweight. She struggled with wearing tighter clothing and said she still reaches instinctively for loose garments.

The pre-taped piece showed Benwood in outfits she had avoided for years. Benwood said she sometimes cannot recognize her new size in the mirror.

Barrymore’s candid admission

Drew Barrymore opened up about body insecurities after two C-sections during her remarks. She told viewers the surgeries left lasting changes that affect what she can wear comfortably.

Barrymore recalled walking down a street in a shorter top and worrying about her jacket staying closed. She said the experience left her feeling exposed and self-conscious.

Family influence and style shifts

Benwood’s daughter joined the conversation and described her mother’s dramatic style change. After years of dark, baggy clothes, Benwood tried warm-coloured, form-fitting dresses and an ivory, floor-length gown.

Barrymore credited her own daughters with nudging her toward bolder wardrobe choices. She said her children encourage experimentation and helped her feel more open to different looks.

Personal background

Barrymore, 51, has spoken about body fluctuations before. In 2020 she wrote about the ups and downs of her body after pregnancy and motherhood.

She has emphasized that having two children remains her greatest joy. Barrymore shares daughters Olive, 13, and Frankie, 11, with ex-husband Will Kopelman.

Other recent appearance

Separately, Barrymore made a surprise appearance on Sabrina Carpenter’s Halloween show. She performed in a Ghostface costume as the segment’s mystery guest.
