Drew Barrymore And Will Kopelman Are Getting Divorced


Another Hollywood couple is calling it quits. Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman are getting a divorce, reports PageSix. Sources claim that the two are already separated and plan to finalize the divorce in a few months.

The news of their breakup is hitting the Internet just one day after the actress got a tattoo of one her children’s names on the inside of her right wrist. Barrymore, 41, and art consultant Kopelman, 38, have two daughters together – Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born September 26, 2012, and Frankie Barrymore Kopelman, born April 22, 2014.

Drew and Will have been experiencing hardships in their marriage and it looks like things will not continue to work between the two of them. However, according to sources, the two will continue to remain close for the sake of their two children. Reportedly remnants of Drew Barrymore’s childhood, described as “rebellious” and “wild,” stuck with her long into her forties, implying that the lack of a stable family as a child had a role to play in her divorce with Kopelman. The last time Barrymore shared a picture of her husband on Instagram was last June.

“It was never really love at first sight,” Drew Barrymore told InStyle magazine last year. “Will struck a lot of my pragmatic sides. He was someone who was always reachable on the phone, someone who was a classy human being, someone who has this incredible blueprint of a family that I don’t have.”

Drew Barrymore had a rough childhood. She earned her success in Hollywood, as well as a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences, at an early age. The young actress began smoking cigarettes when she was only 9-years-old, drinking alcohol by the age of 11, smoking marijuana at 12 and snorting cocaine when she was 13.

“My husband and I compromise on a lot of things like that, it’s the little things that you can change that can make the relationship stronger,” Drew Barrymore told Us Weekly in November of 2015. “Compromise is about changing yourself for the better, it’s an opportunity for you to become a more functional, better person.”

“They’re all great, my kids are so amazing, my husband is great,” Drew continued. “The kids are my whole world, my universe, my everything.”

Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman, son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman, were spotted together in Los Angeles in 2011, looking very much like a couple. All throughout the year, the two were spotted at several different places together, with rumors of a romance becoming more and more likely. In January of 2012, it was announced that the couple had become engaged, even though there was never a public confirmation of their romantic relationship from either Drew or Will.

The engagement ring that Kopelman picked out, designed by Graff Diamonds, featured a colorless radiant-cut diamond, weighing just under 4 carats, which rested on a diamond-covered band. The two married on June 2, 2012, while Drew was pregnant with Olive. It was a traditional Jewish ceremony with the couple exchanging their vows under a rose and lace adorned Chuppah, all taking place at Barrymore’s $5.7 million Mediterranean style mansion in Montecito, California. Cameron Diaz was rumored to be one of Drew’s Bridesmaids and read an E.E Cummings poem, “I Carry Your Heart With Me.”

Drew Barrymore has been married two times prior to her marriage with Will Kopelman. On March 20, 1994, Drew Barrymore married Los Angeles bar owner Jeremy Thomas at 19-years-old, only to get divorced less than two months later. Barrymore famously dated MTV host and comedian Tom Green in 1999. The couple was engaged by the summer of 2000 and were married by the summer of 2001 with Green filing for divorce that December.
