According to the NY Daily News,
who first reported the news, Barrymore filed the divorce papers –
characterized as “uncontested” – at the Manhattan Supreme Court in New
York City. This marks her third divorce, as she was previously married
to her Charlie’s Angels co-star, Tom Green, for five months in 2001, and Jeremy Thomas, a Los Angeles bar owner, for two months in 1994.
Back in April, Barrymore and Kopelman released a joint statement just one day after announcing they had separated.
“Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this
takes away from us being a family,” the statement read. “Divorce might
make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in
the idea that life goes on.”
The
pair also spoke out regarding their two daughters, Olive, 3, and
Frankie, 1, stating, “Our children are our universe, and we look forward
to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority.”
ET has reached out to Barrymore’s rep for comment.
Following their legal separation, Barrymore opened up about her struggle to be happy in a candid interview with Good Housekeeping.
“Happiness
is not this yellow, blithe, floating thing,” the 41-year-old actress
explained at the time. “It’s something that takes a tremendous amount of
work.” Hear more in the video below.
