Drew Barrymore Opens Up About Post-C-Section Body Struggles
Drew Barrymore recently shared her struggles with body image following two C-sections. The actress opened up about these feelings on an episode of her show aired on April 6.
Impact of Motherhood
Discussing how her body changed after childbirth, Barrymore expressed feeling "wrecked" and unable to wear certain clothes comfortably. She has two children, Olive and Frankie, with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
Body Image Challenges
Barrymore also shared an experience walking in public feeling self-conscious because she couldn't close her jacket over a shorter shirt. Further, she acknowledged the challenges of balancing a busy life with evolving body changes as one ages.
Aging and Health Discussions
In March, Barrymore discussed aging and menopause symptoms on her show. She humorously compared herself to a bloated fish, attributing it to getting her period for the first time in nearly a year.
Barrymore and Kopelman started dating in 2011 and got married in 2012. They welcomed their daughters in 2012 and 2014 before announcing their separation in 2016. Their divorce was finalized later that year.
