“You know when you say 20 years, it’s sometimes it’s the blink of an eye, and sometimes you’re like, ‘Oh my God, we’ve lived so much in these last twenty years.’ You’ve had a whole life and I’ve had a whole life,” she said. The actress further said it feels nice to come together and check-in.

Drew said talking about it thrills her to no end. She said, “I think the world of you and I celebrate you and I always have and I always will.” The former couple tied the knot back in July 2001. They filed for divorce in December 2001 citing irreconcilable differences.
