Drew Carey is known to The Price is Right viewers as a happy-go-lucky, regular guy who always smiles and cracks jokes, but the beloved host has faced his fair share of struggles over the years, and has been open about his mental health.
In a new interview with Us Weekly, Carey opened up about his love life, yubi how he doesn’t date, and learning to move on following the tragic death of his former fiancée, Amie Harwick, who was murdered by an ex-boyfriend in 2020.
Carey said he thinks about Harwick “every day,” revealing, “Her death still affects me and my ideas about relationships and intimacy. It was all damaged by first our breakup, and then, the day before she died, when she texted me.”
The comedian explained how he and Harwick went through a “really bad” but “necessary” breakup. “I couldn’t think about her or see a picture of her. I didn’t want to be reminded,” he shared. “And then I got a text from her out of the blue. She said, ‘Hey, it’s Amie. I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. I would love to get together with you and talk about some things.’”
