Drew Barrymore raves about ex-husband's new wife: 'I’m her biggest cheerleader'
Drew Barrymore couldn't be happier for her ex-husband, Will Kopelman, and his new wife, Alexandra Michler.
Speaking on the latest episode of Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, the "Charlie's Angels" actress made it clear she loves her ex's new bride and she has her seal of approval. Michler, who wed Kopelman last month, works for Vogue.
"She knows that I absolutely worship the ground she walks on and I’m her biggest cheerleader," said Barrymore, 46, calling Michler "incredible" and "the most amazing woman."
Barrymore said she gives the newlyweds "their space," but they will all come together to celebrate her daughters, 9-year-old Olive and 7-year-old Frankie.
"We do dinners, all the kids' birthdays. We might take a trip together," she said. "We’re finding our way in a beautiful, slow, respectful manner."
Barrymore, who was married to Kopelman, 43, from 2012 to 2016, then revealed she was "so devastated" their relationship didn't work out because it meant their children would no longer have a "together household."
The two-time Emmy nominee said they "could not get on the same page" and mutually decided to end their marriage so that their kids "would not grow up in strife."
"I think I had a true nervous breakdown," she said, calling her divorce "the greatest pain of my life." The two worked together to ensure their uncoupling was a smooth transition for both their kids and themselves.
The talk show host also touched upon her own love life, saying, "I'm just really happy on my own and nothing seems appealing enough to give that up right now. I don't think it'll stay that way. Life has chapters. This is just the one I'm in now."
