Drew Barrymore at 50: Finding True Happiness After a Lifetime of Reinvention
Drew Barrymore is turning 50, and instead of a lavish Hollywood party, she’s celebrating in her favorite way—cozying up for a sleepover with her two daughters, Olive and Frankie. It’s a fitting way to mark a milestone in her life because, after decades of ups and downs, she’s finally found a sense of peace and happiness she never thought possible.

For many of us, Drew has been a constant presence—whether it was as the adorable Gertie in E.T. , the rebellious wild child of the ’90s, the queen of rom-coms in the 2000s, or now, the warm and insightful host of The Drew Barrymore Show . But her journey to this place of happiness wasn’t an easy one.
Looking back, Drew’s life has been anything but ordinary. Born into Hollywood royalty, she was thrust into fame at an early age, and by the time most kids were having their first sleepovers, she was already navigating the pressures of child stardom. By 7, she was in blockbuster movies. By 9, she was drinking. By 12, she was using cocaine. And by 13, she was in rehab. It was a childhood that lacked boundaries, but somehow, through it all, she kept pushing forward, refusing to let her struggles define her.
Her teens were turbulent, her 20s were about rebuilding, and her 30s were focused on family. She married, became a mom, and dedicated herself to creating a stable home for her daughters—something she never had growing up. But when her marriage to Will Kopelman ended in her 40s, Drew faced one of the hardest emotional challenges of her life. She describes it as being as painful as her troubled teen years, but this time, she knew she had to pull herself together—not just for her kids, but for herself.
That turning point led her to make some major life changes, including quitting alcohol and shifting her focus to personal growth. And now, as she enters her 50s, Drew Barrymore is embracing her life with a newfound sense of clarity and contentment. She’s built a career on being open, honest, and vulnerable with her audience, and in return, she’s earned the love and admiration of fans who have grown up alongside her.
“I don’t think I’ve ever known a happiness like this,” she says. “And I just didn’t know I would ever get here.”
For someone who has spent her life constantly evolving, this chapter feels different. It’s not about reinvention—it’s about finally feeling at home in her own skin. And for Drew Barrymore, that might just be the happiest ending of all.
