Drew Barrymore won’t spend Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend.

Drew Barrymore won’t spend Valentine’s Day with her boyfriend.

The 34-year-old actress – who is rumoured to be engaged to actor Justin Long - tries to be a loving girlfriend every day and so doesn’t want to turn the romantic festival into a big occasion, opting to spend it with her single pals instead.

She explained: “I don’t really think about it very much other than just to be with the people you love. I don’t think I’ve ever done that really conventional romantic thing.

"I like being with my friends and having a fun time. I feel so bad when that holiday makes people feel really bad, it’s not fair.”

The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star – who recently made her directorial debut with 'Whip It!' – also spoke about her love of filmmaking, saying the best part of being behind the cameras is finally feeling able to put across her true self.

She told Self magazine: “Just being able to convey my own human heart into a cinematic venue. I just wanted to talk about family and life and love and friendship, and trying to find your way into empowerment in life in a way that’s also fun and funny. For me, it’s just really trying to express myself into a film.”

Drew sparked speculation she and Justin – who she has been dating for two years – were planning to marry after her relationship status on her Facebook page was reportedly changed to ‘Engaged’.
