Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman have confirmed they have separated after almost three years of marriage and add they are making their kids their top priority.

The 41-year-old actress and her husband are parents to daughters Olive, 3, and Frankie, who will turn 2 later this month. Following news of their split Friday, the two issued a statement Saturday.

"Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family," the pair said in a statement posted by People . "Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on. "Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority."
