20 Celebrities Who Confessed All About Their Experiences Using Online Dating Apps

Getting a date in the 21st century often means getting online. But not if you’re a celebrity, right? Wrong. It appears that dating apps such as Raya, Tinder and Bumble are awash with famous faces just looking to find a little romance. Here are 20 well-known names who have dipped their toes in the world of online dating.

20. Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore burst onto the scene as a child star in E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Unsurprisingly, it then proved hard for the actor to live a life like the rest of us. “I’ve always wanted to go on a blind date, but my life got in the way of that,” Barrymore said on TV show Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. For the star of movies such as 50 First Dates and Charlie’s Angels, online dating provided a way to scratch that particular itch.

Sadly, for Barrymore, things didn’t work out as planned when she joined Raya. “I did terribly too,” she told Cohen. “I got stood up, and I didn’t match with anyone. And my friends gave me this sort of bloated sense of false confidence. They were like, ‘You should try it. You will do great.’ It was a car wreck,” the star added.

19. Ben Affleck

Even bona fide Hollywood superstars have been known to look for a little love online. Pearl Harbor actor Ben Affleck is one famous example, despite having dated or been married to a bevy of beauties in the shape of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner. His marriage to Garner ended in 2018.

Embracing singledom, reports surfaced that Affleck had turned to well-known celebrity dating site Raya. The director and star of Argo soon confirmed it was true. “Ha, you got me. I’m dating,” the actor wrote on his Instagram account. We’re not sure how it went for Affleck, but he’s now said to be dating fellow actor Ana de Armas who he met the old-fashioned way while filming their movie Deep Water.
