It seems that another Hollywood marriage is coming to an end.
Multiple sources have reported today that Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman, who tied the knot in 2012, plan to divorce. The couple are parents to daughters Olive, 3, and Frankie, 1.
The sad news comes just months after Drew, 41, gushed about her very supportive husband, telling PEOPLE, “[Will] is the most complimentary person ever. I think that’s really important for women to have someone who really makes you feel good about yourself because that would be a giant disadvantage to your process of making babies or just being a woman in general to have someone make you feel like you had to be a certain way to turn them on or to be beautiful in their eyes."
It wasn't the first time that the Wildflower author has praised Will. In 2012, the mom-of-two revealed of her third marriage, "We have opposite experiences, but we’re not opposites. We’re both very particular and detail-oriented. We love art and music and adventures, and we laugh our asses off together. I’m lucky. It’s amazing."
So what went wrong?
According to reports, they've been having "difficulties" in their relationship for some time.
"They've had marriage issues for a while," says a source, adding, "There was tension over where to live."
In November, Drew admitted that a successful marriage definitely takes work, saying, "My husband and I compromise on a lot of things like that, it's the little things that you can change that can make the relationship stronger. Compromise is about changing yourself for the better, it's an opportunity for you to become a more functional, better person."
While neither Drew nor Will has yet to comment on the divorce reports, the actress did take to Instagram last night to reveal a new tattoo: Her daughters' names inked on her inner wrist.
"Getting a great little lifetime note on my arm," Drew captioned the shot. (See it here!)
You'd think we'd all be used to news of celebrity splits by now, but it always seems so sad. I still seem to hold out hope for couples like Drew and Will finding a way to make it work.
Are you surprised by these reports?
Celebrities get real about how to make a marriage work...
“We’ve been together for 20 years and you have good days, you have decent days, and you have bad days. That’s a marriage. That’s a relationship. That’s a friendship, even. If you’re in it for the long haul and you want meaningful relationships you are going to go through lots of difficult periods.... Kids can really distract you from your relationship. Maybe in good ways and bad ways. It’s important to have all eyes on all parts of the relationship. It’s something you really have to pay attention to. But you figure it out.” ~ Sarah Jessica Parker on her marriage to Matthew Broderick (PR Photos)
"You have to keep the fights clean and the sex dirty." ~ Kevin Bacon on his marriage to Kyra Sedgwick (PR Photos)
"This is what I find difficult about talking about my marriage: It's hard to sum up something that's so vital and means everything to you in a sound bite. Do you know what I mean? All I can say is that it's an effing blast." ~ Emily Blunt on her marriage to John Krasinski (PR Photos)
"My husband is a natural born leader. I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring his take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything. I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work." ~ Candace Cameron Bure on her marriage to Valeri Bure (PR Photos)
"Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so. This does NOT mean we have an open relationship... this means we have a GROWN one." ~ Jada Pinkett Smith on her marriage to Will Smith (PR Photos)
"Family is all we have in life, but I don’t know how I feel about marriage. Obviously, I’m not far enough out of being married to think about doing it again. You sort of reconstitute your family. You find a family, with people who come into your life for a reason." ~ Reese Witherspoon, after her divorce from Ryan Phillippe (PR Photos)
"I have a terrific marriage, but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling." ~ Hugh Jackman on his marriage to Deborra Lee Furness
"We got hit with the same lucky stick. From the very first time we spoke, we were on the same page. We love each other, respect each other and try not to sweat the small stuff. And we really make each other laugh." ~ Melissa McCarthy on her marriage to Ben Falcone (PR Photos)
“We still love each other like we did when we first met. We’ve got amazing children…and we’re very happy. We manage it perfectly. Me and my wife–we’re very hands-on… We juggle our lives with our work and in our family, children always come first. So, it’s as simple as that.” — David Beckham on his marriage to Victoria Beckham (PR Photos)
“Pay attention, listen. Those are the basics, got to get those down. I’m lucky that – well, I don’t know if it’s lucky – but I’m with someone whose very low maintenance. If I were to buy her a bunch of jewelry, she wouldn’t know what to do with it. It sounds cliche, but we’re really good friends and have a good blending of giving each other space, but also enjoying each other’s company as well.” ~ Will Ferrell on his marriage to Viveca Paulins (PR Photos)
"We want to be married to each other. That's the main point. You've got to want to be married to the person you're married to. We still like each other a lot." ~ Rita Wilson on her marriage to Tom Hanks (PR Photos)
“Marriage is like a game of chess, except the board is flowing water. The pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.” – Jerry Seinfeld on his marriage to Jessica Seinfeld (PR Photos)
"My wife tells me that if I ever decide to leave, she is coming with me." ~ Jon Bon Jovi, on his marriage to his high school sweetheart Dorothea Hurley (PR Photos)
“Anything that’s supposed to be for the rest of your life is going to bore you from time to time. People make a big deal out of my saying marriage is boring. Everything in America, when you live in a country where food and shelter aren’t your biggest concerns, bores you after a point. You have to do it artificially. You go on trips and go on dates to shake it up. Just try to get some time alone. Just remember why you’re together in the first place.” ~ Chris Rock, whose 18-year marriage to wife Malaak ended in 2014(PR Photos)
"I asked my dad once, 'How did you and Mum stay married for 33 years?' And he said, 'Well, we never wanted to get divorced at the same time.' And I think that's what happens. When two people throw in the towel at the same time, then you break up, but if one person's saying: 'Come on, we can do this,' you carry on." ~ Gwyneth Paltrow, who split from her husband of 10 years Chris Martin in 2014 (PR Photos)
"There's a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more." ~ Dave Grohl on his marriage to Jordyn Blum (PR Photos)
"I do not joke when I say she is my better half. She really is. I cannot believe what a fantastic life I have today. Ultimately, we both changed a lot. So now I cannot imagine a life before her. I've certainly come to believe that Mrs. Downey and I together are infinitely better than me alone or me and anybody else." ~ Robert Downey Jr on his marriage to Susan Downey (PR Photos)
