Drew Barrymore and husband Will Kopelman to divorce after nearly 4 years


http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php/1013031-Drew-Barrymore-and-husband-Will-Kopelman-to-divorce-after-nearly-4-years-of-marriage

Drew Barrymore and her third husband, art consultant Will Kopelman, have split after three years of marriage, Page Six has confirmed.

The couple, who have two little girls ages 3 and 1, have separated and plan to divorce soon, sources said.

“They’ve been having some difficulties, but they remain close for the sake of their kids,” one source told Page Six of the actress, 41, and Kopelman, 38, who is the wealthy son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman.

Another source added, “Drew had a very rebellious and wild childhood, with no family around her, and while she is a very different person now, and a great mother, some of that can stay with you.”

It’s the third failed union for the “E.T.” beauty.

Her first marriage, at age 19, was to bartender Jeremy Thomas in 1994, and lasted less than two months. Her second, in 2001, was to comedian Tom Green, her co-star in “Charlie’s Angels,” and lasted five months.

On Friday, reps for Barrymore and Kopelman remained mum on the split.

But the actress posted to Instagram a photo of a new tattoo, on her on her right wrist, of her daughters’ names, Olive and Frankie. “Getting a great little lifetime note on my arm,” she captioned the snap.

Barrymore hasn’t posted a pic of her soon-to-be-ex on Instagram since last June 2, on their third anniversary, captioned, “Happy anniversary Mr. Kopelman, cheers to you! I love you and I love our daughters !!!!!!!”

Barrymore, who had a troubled childhood with two stints in rehab, told InStyle magazine last year about meeting Kopelman in early 2012, just four months before their wedding at her $6 million Montecito, Calif., estate.

“It was never really love at first sight. 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.”

She told Us Weekly last year that she and Kopelman, “compromise on a lot of things.” “We know each other very well and know what our likes and dislikes are, and what works and doesn’t work. Small things like rushing to the airport can be someone else’s nightmare and we have to change for the better to grow as a couple.”

So four years ago both couple have choose to marry, but ignore my comments the fans imdb users think I am wrong. So now finally they both divorce and identify that I am right. Drew and Will are not perfect match couple.

Here is my four years ago comments:

I think Drew Barrymore and Will Kopeman's marriage will be unsuccessful because based on Drew's past two marriages were unsuccessful. Will knows Drew less than two years. After they celebrate their wedding day, they will divorce and end their relationship in few years. Drew is a Christian & Movie Star and Will is Jewish & Art Consultant which they both were different religion, different occupation and don't have same channel. I think they both should not marry and they only be friends. If Drew really want to make a family with her good man, she should choose the right man with right age, occupation and interest. I would suggest Drew should choose a movie star actor to marry such as Leonardo DiCaprio or Bradley Cooper.

Every year Drew Barrymore birthday on Feb 22 I choose stay home because she is no like. Definitely no like bad will loose and have no happy ending.

Apparently the one public event together was a last gasp chance to save their marriage. This former child star turned troubled teen turned A list mostly movie actress turned B+ lister with other side projects and her husband have called it quits.

It still sounds like Drew's got a few screws loose. It's always been the case. Marriage dosn't work for her.

reply

I pretty much agree with the assessment that Drew is probably too much of a free spirit to be able to maintain a stable relationship. I wonder if she married Will because her biological clock was ticking (she didn't have her daughters, until she was about in her late 30s) and she thought that Will and his family would provide the "normalcy" and stability in her life (considering how dysfunctional Drew's own family and background was) that she always craved but never truly had.

Drew and Will's relationship, I suppose strikes me of a real life version of Dharma & Greg. We have a seemingly conservative, straight-laced guy fall in love and marry a quirky, free-spirited, bohemian acting girl.

I once wrote that Drew Barrymore is somebody who appears to be in love with the concept or idea of love. In effect, she's in love with the IDEA of marriage, commitment, true love, soul mates, etc. But then when the marriage happens, and the fantasy becomes reality, it makes her feel very claustrophobic. And suddenly, all she wants to do is get out of the box she is trapped in. She can't handle the reality of that magnitude of commitment to put it in another way.

I agree that marriage doesn't work for her. She's always been spontaneous and that's something that's cute when you're a lot younger, but not over 25.

Despite hooking up for much of the first season of their almost television show which probably was the final straw in the marriage of this former A/A+ list mostly movie actress the co-stars didn't hook up at all when they filmed the second season which probably saved the marriage of the male A-/B+ list co-star.

Being spontaneous is always a good thing. Nobody should lose that quality irrespective of age.

He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither ~ B. Franklin

reply

To rational grownups, being "spontaneous" is actually just being impulsive. Rarely, if ever, a good thing. Everybody should stop being impulsive once they become adults.

reply

Are you implying that Benjamin Franklin, the asshole who created daylight saving time, is some kind of sage?

“Spontaneity” is simply lack of impulse control, one of the most certain signs of immaturity.
