During a recent appearance at The Drew Barrymore ShowGlenn revealed why she hasn’t been in a relationship since the divorce – and her reasoning is pretty understandable.

When Drew asked Glenn if she had “approached a relationship” since her divorce from David, Glenn replied, “No.” She added: “I don’t know. I mean, I’m always up for anything, but I’m very happy right now.”
