In her interview with People, Drew Barrymore revealed that the divorce was so difficult for her as the life she planned for her kids, Olive and Frankie, did not work out. "There was no scandal. Nothing went wrong, which is cleaner, but makes it harder and more confusing because there isn't a thing to point to. We tried so hard to make it work.
