Drew Barrymore follows ex-husband to New York for their daughters

Drew Barrymore had always dreamed of starting a stable home, with two parents present for their children.

So when in 2016 she divorced the father of her daughters, Will Kopelman, and he decided to move to New York, she did not hesitate.

“I didn't want my children to be away from their father and I love his family.

We are very close and even though we got divorced, we said to ourselves, "Let's not take a wrong step. Let's carry on like we're family because that's what we are."

Two dreams that crumble

However, it was not easy for Drew Barrymore to leave the house she had occupied for twenty years in Los Angeles.

“It was the house I had built for me.

I had it for twenty years.

This house, I had sworn it would be my children's home.

It was as hard as the divorce itself… I had to give up two dreams at once, ”continued the

But in the end, Drew Barrymore's vision of the home changed once she moved to New York with her two daughters, Olive who is now 8 and Frankie who is 7. “Now I understand what the definition of home is.

It's just where we are, it doesn't matter where as long as I'm with my kids, ”the actress concluded.
