Drew Barrymore's eldest daughter, Olive, recently surprised her by trying on Barrymore's wedding dress from her marriage to ex-husband Will Kopelman in 2012. Despite the potential emotional weight of the moment, Barrymore's initial reaction was one of admiration for her daughter's beauty. The sentimental value of the dress was heightened by the fact that Barrymore was pregnant with Olive when she first wore it.
Barrymore and Kopelman, who also share a younger daughter named Frankie, have maintained an amicable relationship post-divorce. However, Barrymore has been candid about the challenges she faced during the breakup, admitting that she struggled with the process and found it to be a painful experience.
In a 2023 interview with the Los Angeles Times, Barrymore revealed her struggles with post-divorce drinking, acknowledging that her therapist eventually quit due to her inability to make progress in addressing her drinking habits. She expressed a desire to regain her therapist's trust and work towards improvement.
As a mother to her two daughters, Barrymore has shared anecdotes about parenting challenges, including instances where her children use her past, such as being on the cover of Playboy, to argue their points. Despite these lighthearted moments, Barrymore's journey as a mother and a divorcee has been marked by both joy and difficulties.
