After over two decades since his divorce from the actress-turned-talk show host Drew Barrymore, 53-year-old comedian Tom Green is engaged to his girlfriend Amanda.
- December 23, 2024
AceShowbiz - Tom Green, 53, known for his iconic MTV series "The Tom Green Show", took to Instagram Threads on Sunday, December 22 to share joyous news with his followers. "Big news! Amanda and I are engaged!" Green wrote, expressing his elation.
"I am the luckiest guy in the world. I love you Amanda. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from us to all of you!" he concluded, garnished with heart emojis. Although Green chose to keep Amanda's last name confidential, he did share an array of heartwarming photos showcasing their happy moments, notably a winter snapshot where Amanda flaunted her dazzling engagement ring.
The couple's bond goes back many years, as both grew up in Petawawa, Canada, and were raised in Canadian military families. They even attended the same elementary school. This common background of "country life" is one of the many things they share. Green, who recently moved back to Canada after a 20-year stint in Los Angeles, now resides on a 150-acre wilderness property and farm, raising horses, which symbolizes his return to a simpler, nature-connected lifestyle.
While the timeline of their romantic relationship remains cloaked in mystery, Green first introduced Amanda to his followers in June 2024. "Thank you to my amazing girlfriend Amanda for the fun times out west; that was an adventure!" he captioned an Instagram post, hinting at their deepening relationship. Since then, he has shared multiple affectionate tributes to her, often describing her as "beautiful" and "amazing."
Green's engagement comes more than two decades after his brief marriage to actress Drew Barrymore, 49, whom he met on the set of "Charlie's Angels". They began dating in March 2000 and tied the knot in July 2001, only to part ways five months later, with their divorce finalized in October 2002. Their marriage was fraught with significant life challenges, including Green's testicular cancer diagnosis and a house fire.
Despite their brief and tumultuous marriage, Green and Barrymore have maintained mutual respect and affection for each other. They even reunited on Barrymore's daytime talk show "The Drew Barrymore Show" in 2021, where they shared a heartfelt conversation, acknowledging their past and expressing fondness for each other.
As Green steps into this new phase of life with Amanda, he is also gearing up for a U.S. tour in January 2025, where he will perform stand-up comedy and music from his new country album "Home to the County". With new love and fresh professional ventures, Tom Green embarks on yet another exciting journey.
