Despite the intense adoration Barrymore has for Michler, she made sure to note that there were healthy boundaries between her and the new couple. She explained that she does well to give them space.

Nevertheless, the blended clan tries to hang out together. Barrymore mentioned that they also enjoy dinners with the kids during birthdays and sometimes take a trip as a family.

Kopelman and Michler, the 33-year-old director of fashion development at Vogue, got married in Massachusetts on August 28. Barrymore and Kopelman's daughters served as flower girls at the romantic ceremony.

The girls looked all shades of adorable in dresses from Brock Collection. According to US Weekly, the older daughter Olive was responsible for designing the ivory dresses worn for the nuptials.
