Drew Barrymore and baby daughter Olive on the cover of People magazine

Drew Barrymore has intoduced baby daughter Olive to the world on the cover of People magazine.

In an accompanying interview with People magazine, Drew Barrymore, 37, said she was not prepared for how much her life would change once she had a baby.

The actress said: “I couldn’t eat or sleep for two weeks, I was just so nervous! You have the highest highs and yet you’re facing the biggest fear of, <<How do I keep someone alive?>>”

But with the help of her husband Will Kopelman, Drew Barrymore was able to provide a loving and nurturing home for her baby to be brought into.

She added: “I really wanted a wonderful traditional home for my kid. Will comes from a strong family, he provides a strong family … It just makes me so emotional because it’s like a miracle.”

Drew Barrymore recently revealed the meaning behind Olive’s name, telling Ellen DeGeneres during an interview that she and Will Kopelman came up with the name after reading a baby manual.
