That awkward moment where you date someone who was your onscreen sibling.

David Arquette and Drew apparently were doing the situationship thing before it was cool. Referring back to the People report, Drew and David have repeatedly denied certain aspects of their relationship on the record.

Poor David once said, "We also dated, but she denied it on Howard Stern ... But, we dated, Drew!" Maybe this was her villain era...

Did anyone else feel a wave of 90s nostalgia looking at this photo? Just us?

Actor and musician James "Jamie" Walters took commitment with Drew one step further and got her name tattooed on his arm (she reciprocated). Jamie was Drew's second fiancé.

Maybe they should've waited until after the wedding to get the tats. Drew and Jamie never made it that far.

Charlies Angels co-stars Luke Wilson and Drew had already broken up by the time the film premiered, but the two remained on good terms.

What is he pointing at though?

Speaking of Charlies Angels, Drew actually met her next husband, comedian Tom Green, on set during filming. They tied the knot in July 2001. It's a testament to Drew's character that Tom had nothing but kind words to say about Drew when he filed for divorce in December 2021.

Like senses of humor, certain relationships aren't for everybody! And these two had a very heartfelt reunion on her show in 2020.
