Drew Barrymore has welcomed a sister for 19-month-old daughter Olive. The actress (39) gave birth on Tuesday, 22 April with husband Will Kopelman (36) by her side, according to a statement from her spokesperson obtained by People magazine.
“Happy to announce that today we are the proud parents of our second daughter, Frankie Barrymore Kopelman,” the couple told People. Olive has a new little sister, and everyone is healthy and happy!”
Drew – who revealed she was having a girl in December – celebrated the impending arrival with friends by throwing a baby shower on Saturday, as People reported. Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow were among the famous guests at Drew’s Hollywood Hills home, according to the magazine. “Drew had a blast. She is so ready to have this baby,” a source told People at the time.
Drew has said her priorities have shifted now that her family is growing. “It used to be work first and now it’s life first,” she said. “So even though I’m doing a lot, there’s a lot of things that have slowed down. I don’t make that many movies any more. I’m not really producing right now. And I’m trying to do jobs where I can work from home or be at home by dinner time if I do have to go out to meetings. You just sort of change your life.”
Though becoming a parent is “the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life”, Drew says it has brought her a new level of anxiety. “I’ve never been so worried in my life about making sure that something I care about more than I’ve ever cared in my life is safe and intact,” she said.
