Drew Barrymore’s kids are already raiding her closet.

On Monday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the talk show host revealed that her eldest daughter, Olive, 11, recently surprised her with a trip down memory lane, trying on Barrymore’s wedding dress from when she wed ex-husband Will Kopelman in 2012.

“The other night I came home and I was told that Olive has a surprise for me,” Barrymore, 49, told the audience. “And so, I came in the room and she was standing there in my wedding dress.”

While it could have easily been a tough moment for the “Charlie’s Angels” actress, who finalized her divorce from Kopelman in 2016, her first reaction was a sweet one rather than shock.

“I looked at her and I was like, ‘Oh my God, you look so beautiful.’”

Seeing her wedding day look worn by her child was extra special as the star was pregnant with Olive when she walked down the aisle.

“I go, ‘You know, that’s actually technically the second time you wore that dress because you were six months in my belly when I wore it. And I’m saving it for you and your sister.’”

Kopelman and Barrymore also share another daughter together, Frankie, 9. While former couple remain on good terms, the star has been open about how hard the breakup was on her.

“I really did not take divorce well,” she told Willie Geist while in 2020. “I took it really hard. Even now, I’m just like, oh, it’s such a painful thing.”

In 2023, when speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Barrymore also spoke about her , saying that at one point, it got so bad that her therapist quit.

“He just said, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’” she told the publication. “It was really about my drinking. I said, ‘I get it. I’ve never respected you more. You see I’m not getting better. And I hope, one day, that I can earn your trust back.’”

Barrymore has also opened up about being a mom to her two girls, and earlier this year, revealed that sometimes her kids when arguing about what they’re allowed to wear.

“My daughter wants to wear a crop top,” she said when speaking to Christina Aguilera, who was appearing as a guest on the show. “I’ll say, ‘No,’ and she’ll go, ‘You were on the cover of Playboy.’”
