Girl gang! Drew Barrymore is a proud mother to her two daughters, Olive and Frankie.“It’s like constantly playing mental chess on how to get something done in that moment, and I hope I’m doing it as gracefully as possible,” the Never Been Kissed actress quipped to InStyle in July 2015 of parenthood. “It’s so amazing—after your kid is crying for 12 hours, you’ll start laughing and you love them even more.

But the next day, the stupidest thing will throw you. Everything surprises you constantly.”Barrymore first became a mother in September 2012, welcoming daughter Olive with then-husband Will Kopelman. The actress later gave birth to the couple’s second little girl, Frankie, nearly two years later.Barrymore and the art consultant ultimately split in April 2016, remaining amiable coparents.

The Drew Barrymore Show host, for her part, opted to take a step back from acting to prioritize motherhood.“It was a no-brainer to me so that I could be present and raise my kids myself,” the Charlie’s Angels actress revealed during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in March 2021. “I didn’t want to be on a film set asking the nanny how the kids were.

I was like, that is not my journey. … [But] I think I went way too far the opposite direction. I was so knee-deep into mothering my kids.
