Drew Barrymore’s life is better

Drew Barrymore’s new baby has had a ”calming” effect on her life.

The ‘Blended’ actress – who already had 19-month-old Olive – welcomed her second daughter, Frankie, into the world with husband Will Kopelman on April 22, and despite being exhausted, she is thrilled with their new addition.

Asked how being a mother for the second time feels, she told E! News: ”Better, just on every level. It’s so much more work, but it is so much more calming in a way.

”’Frankie is sister,’ Olive says, and she is into her and it’s amazing, life is so good.”

But the blonde beauty, 39, is suffering from a lack of sleep.

She said: ”Every night at 10pm when I get in bed, I’ve never been more excited to just lay down for a little while, and then you sleep for six hours if you’re lucky and you’re back up.”

Drew recently said she wouldn’t let her children pursue a career in acting until they are at least 18 years old because she wants to protect them from potentially damaging things.

She said: ”I don’t like the idea of young girls growing up with social media, because I know how sensitive they are. But there’s no going back.

”If you totally shelter your kids, that’s not normal, but I don’t want mine to have mobile phones until a certain age.

”I will never let my children act. When they’re 18, if they want to, but not before.”
