Drew Barrymore gives birth to a baby girl with husband, Will Kopelman. The actress released a statement saying, "We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter, Olive Barrymore Kopelman, born September 26th, healthy, happy and welcomed by the whole family. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this most special time in our lives."

Prepared to for motherhood the "Charlie's Angels" star told "Haute magazine", "I can't wait until I have my children."  Even though Barrymore grew up in the Hollywood business as a child actress she is willing to let her children be free spirited the laid back mom said, "I love the idea that they don't have to do something that they have no interest in, that they can do something completely opposite if they want to."

However, she does admit that since beginning her "Barrymore Wines" business, which had won a gold medal for one of her bottles in a French competition, she says, "I will be so surprised if they don't want to do something involving food or wine or art, but I'll be OK with it. I just want to build fun, great things for my family."

Barrymore, 37, and her husband Kopelman, married in June and since then have been inseparable. Hopefully, they last longer than her other two marriages and build a bigger family as time goes on. Barrymore said, "To be quite honest, I'm happy in my own life," she added, "I don't need to play at being someone else right now...Acting is something I've done my whole life, but directing is great. I get to be in my own clothes and go home to my husband, and that seems really normal and fun and feels very creative."
