And Drew, who was emancipated from her parents at 14, was determined to be the best mom she could be—even if that meant going solo for a while.
“I was in my early 40s, and not learning how to be my own healthy, independent individual, how to be the parent I dream to be,” she recalled. “Being other people doesn’t help me figure that out right now. And the long hours of doing films were hours I wouldn’t have with my kids. I wasn’t going to do that.”
When it comes to the end of Drew and Will’s four-year marriage, Drew expressed that it didn’t just stem from one big tribulation.
“There was no scandal,” she told People in 2022. “Nothing went wrong, which is cleaner, but makes it harder and more confusing because there isn’t the thing to point to. We tried so hard to make it work.”
Indeed, the 49-year-old admitted that the years following her divorce proved to be a very difficult chapter in her life.
