Drew Barrymore and her husband Will Kopelman are to divorce after three years of marriage. The 41-year-old actress and her art consultant third husband wed in 2012 and have two children - daughters Frankie, three and one-year-old Olive. 'They’ve been having some difficulties, but they remain close for the sake of their kids,' one source told Page Six, which broke news of the split. Another source said: '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.' The news broke as a casually dressed Drew was pictured shopping with a friend in Beverly Hills on Friday. Born into a famous acting dynasty, Drew was just seven-years-old when she starred as Gertie in E.T. She had a wild childhood, and had been to rehab twice before she was 20-years-old. That unstable past showed in the way she chose to parent her young daughters - whose names she had tattooed onto her wrist on Thursday night, in a move she documented on Instagram. Since becoming a mother herself Drew has focused on life outside the Hollywood world, determined to ensure her children have as normal an upbringing as possible. She now runs a business empire that includes her own film production company, a cosmetics line and range of eye-wear. Speaking to April's Marie Claire, Drew expressed her intense dislike of the Hollywood lifestyle. Despite counting Steven Spielberg and Sophia Loren as her god-parents, and coming from a family of successful actors, the Missing You Already star revealed that she doesn't buy into the Hollywood showbiz circuit. Drew first tied the knot aged just 19, but the marriage to bartender Jeremy Thomas in 1994 lasted less than two months. Her second wedding, in 2001, to her Charlie’s Angels co-star Tom Green fell apart nearly as quickly and the pair split after five months. Representatives for the couple did not immediately get back to DailyMail.com.
