The actress added, “I’m just so lucky because she came into Will’s life and got to know my daughters very well and very real, saw all the warts and all the hearts, everything in between.

Barrymorerecently spoke with PEOPLE about raisingher daughters to become “citizens of the world.”
“When they’re young, you’re catering to them. You’re taking care of them. I can’t wait.

It just gets more and more interesting.”
