Drew Barrymore and Corey Feldman
Both Drew Barrymore and Corey Feldman began their careers as child stars, and their paths crossed at an early age when Drew’s mother set them up on a date when they were just 10 and 14 years old, respectively. However, it wasn’t until 1989, when Barrymore was a teenager, that they started dating for real. At the time, Barrymore was already struggling with addiction and had been to rehab multiple times, making her journey to sobriety a challenging one.
Unfortunately, the relationship faced insurmountable hurdles as Corey Feldman was also grappling with a serious addiction problem. Their joint appearance at the 1988 Academy Awards was a testament to their connection, but it proved to be short-lived, with the couple parting ways after just nine months. Their story is a poignant reminder of young celebrities’ challenges navigating fame and personal struggles in the spotlight.
