Drew Barrymore would ‘love to support’ daughters in acting, but not until they’re older
Barrymore's daughters, Olive and Frankie, are 11 and 10, respectively.
Drew Barrymore and Christina Aguilera recently had a candid chat about the joys and challenges of parenting on Barrymore’s talk show. The conversation took a hilarious turn when Barrymore shared a relatable anecdote about her daughter’s fashion choices.
Drew Barrymore revealed that her daughter occasionally pushes back against her clothing rules, particularly when it comes to wearing a crop top. But instead of just accepting her mom’s decision, Barrymore’s daughter cleverly pointed out her past as a Playboy cover model, leaving Barrymore amused and perhaps a bit stumped.

Their candid and humorous exchange shed light on the universal struggles of parenting, regardless of fame or fortune. Ultimately, both Aguilera and Barrymore strive to raise confident, empowered children who are unafraid to express themselves, even if it means challenging their parents’ rules from time to time.
