Drew Barrymore isn't letting geography get in the way of her children's happiness. The actress decided to trade in the sunny weather of Los Angeles for the changing seasons of the East Coast when she opted to move to New York (via People). Barrymore recently sat down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey, where she revealed that having her daughters grow up with both parents was her main priority following her divorce from Will Kopelman.
"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 family. We're very close, and even though we had a divorce, we said, 'Let's not misstep. Let's just carry on like we are a family because we are a family,'" Barrymore told Winfrey.
Whatever Barrymore and Kopelman are doing, it seems to be working. When her ex-husband announced his engagement in early 2021, the "Charlie's Angels" star expressed nothing but happiness for him (via Us Weekly). "I'm in it with him and his family. I'm happy to say he just got engaged to this wonderful woman named Allie who I am probably president of her fan club. She is just so wonderful. I want him to be happy," Barrymore told Howard Stern in February.
