Drew Barrymore moved to New York because she was determined to "carry on as a family" when she got divorced. The '50 First Dates' star dreamed of offering her children a "really stable home" so when things didn't work out between her and ex-husband Will Kopelman, she agreed to relocate away from Los Angeles to stay close to him because she thought that would be the best thing for their daughters Olive, eight, and seven-year-old Frankie.

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey for her 'Your Life in Focus' virtual series, she said: "I thought when I had kids, I wanted this really stable home.

Two parents was the goal. "I ended up finding myself in divorce. Their dad moved to New York, I didn't want my children to be away from their father and I love his.
