Hillary Clinton Says She Turned Down Bill Clinton’s Marriage Proposal Twice on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’

The Drew Barrymore Show continued its Season 3 premiere week with a visit from Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, who stopped by to promote their new Apple TV+ series Gutsy and spill on the early days of Hillary and Former President Bill Clinton’s relationship.

Barrymore could barely keep it together when she asked the former Secretary of State if it was true that she went to Dillard’s to get her wedding dress last minute.

“Yes, it is,” Hillary admitted, prompting Barrymore to excitedly throw herself back in her seat.

“But ask her how many she tried on,” Chelsea chimed in before her mother told the talk show host, “Only one, I found what I wanted.”

Hillary then dished on why it was last minute, spilling to the audience that Bill had asked her to marry him twice, to which she told him, “Not now, no.” Chelsea made sure to add, “But the third time was a charm,” seeing as her mother did finally agree.

“[Bill] said, ‘Let’s hurry up and do it before you change your mind,'” Hillary explained. “So we said okay next Saturday — literally it was Thursday or Friday before the next Saturday.”

However, there was one important thing she nearly forgot.

“So my mother comes down with my dad and she says, ‘Well can I see your wedding dress?’ And I thought, ‘Oh gosh, wedding dress. Oh, wow. I need one of those,'” she recalled before adding, “And so it was, like, Friday afternoon and we went to Dillard’s and I found my dress.”

But all’s well that ends well and despite the rushed wedding, the two have been married since 1975 and will be celebrating 47 years of marriage this October, with no public hiccups whatsoever, just a nice, smooth marriage for 47 years! Right? Right.

The Drew Barrymore Show airs on weekdays at 9:30 a.m. on CBS and you can catch up with this mother-daughter duo by watching Gutsy, which is currently streaming on Apple TV+.
