Drew Barrymore cried during an emotional reunion with her ex-boyfriend Justin Long and says she will “always love” him.

The talk show host, 47, wiped away tears after embracing the actor, 44, on Monday’s episode of her “Drew Barrymore Show.”

Barrymore, who dated her “Going the Distance” co-star on and off from 2007 to 2010, told Long that she is “really grateful” to have had him in her life.

“I will always love you so much,” she said. “You were so important to me. … I feel like we’ve been through so much together.

“When we used to talk and FaceTime, I was always like, ‘You know, I’ve really grown up, Justin,’” she continued. “I always wanted to prove to you what a different person I was than when we were dating.”

Long returned the mood, calling the actress “the best.”

He gushed: “I love that we kept our love because I know from my end it will never go away. I will always love you. I’m glad we can still have it. I mean it. I will always love you.”

The former couple went on to reflect on the “chaos” of their “hedonistic” relationship.

“We’d get together, we’d break up,” Barrymore recalled. It was great fun.”

The “Santa Clarita Diet” alum previously praised Long when he started dating Kate Bosworth, telling her talk show audience how the “Crossroads” star “gets all the ladies.”

Barrymore explained in July: “He’s one of the sharpest, wittiest [people]. He’s brilliant and he’ll just knock your socks off laughing.”

Long, who has been in a relationship with Bosworth, 39, since 2021, was previously linked to Amanda Seyfried.

As for Barrymore, the Golden Globe winner was married to Will Kopelman from 2012 to 2016, and the exes co-parent daughters Olive, 9, and Frankie, 8.

In January, Barrymore asked “Queer Eye” star Bobby Berk for dating advice as a single mom, noting that Kopelman, 44, has moved on with wife Alexandra Michler.

“I’ve had a few personal dates that I would have given anything for them to be on Zoom,” she said on an episode of her show. “I’m not talking about my children [on these dates] because I think we should probably get to know each other first.”

Barrymore added that she never intends to tie the knot again, clarifying that she might “live with someone again” one day.
