In celebrity news, Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have been spending time together, according to EOnline.com.  The celebrity exes met on the set of He’s Just Not That Into You in 2008, and then began a two year relationship. The exes suffered their ups and downs, often breaking up on the regular. But, they’ve always respected and admired each other. They later rekindled their romance in 2010 on the set of Going the Distance and subsequently broke up later that year. According to insiders, the exes have been “talking more” following Long’s recent break-up from Lauren Mayberry. According to a source, “They are both single and they are spending time together,” but “that’s all it is for now.”

Cupid’s Advice:

It’s not easy breaking up, but is it that easy to get back together with an ex? Cupid has some tips on what to consider before getting back together with an ex:

1. The break-up: Ask yourself, did the break-up end badly? Why did you break up? Can what was broken be fixed? Were you a better person while with this person, or worse? You must reevaluate your old relationship, and really give some thought to everything you have been through — the good, the bad and the ugly.

2. Figure out why you want to get back together: Are you lonely? Do you miss them specifically, or just having a partner in general? Really consider why you want to get back together with this person. The fact is, this isn’t a new relationship and there’s no guarantee that old fights and problems won’t arise.

3. Remember that people change: People change, but sometimes they don’t. After the initial honeymoon period is over, it is very common for couples to fall into the same patterns they were in previously. You may have to deal with that again. Can you accept that?
