The star surprised fans with an unexpected tribute, impressing them by honoring not only her own mom, who she was previously estranged from, but also giving a lovely shoutout to her ex-husband's mom, sister, and wife, who she is close friends with.

The tribute also included a snap of her rarely seen daughters, Olive and Frankie, who look so grown-up already.

The first photo she included was a stunning black and white portrait of her mother, Jaid Barrymore, and the resemblance to the morning show host is uncanny. Jaid raised Drew as a single mom until the star emancipated herself at age 14.

"Mother's Day is very multi pronged for me," she admitted.

The actress acknowledged how far her relationship with her mom has come as well as the strength it takes to maintain a relationship with your ex, writing: "It's great to be able to celebrate each other through every journey in life. In the expected ways and in unexpected ways!!!"

The heartfelt tribute

She proved just how well she does it with a picture from her daughter Frankie's birthday, smiling ear to ear as she posed next to her former mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and her husband's new wife.

Though she tends to keep her two daughters away from the public eye, she included in her tribute a photo of the two – one with platinum blonde hair and the other brunette –  walking with their family into the supermarket to prepare for Mother's Day.

She thoughtfully expressed in the post: "We all pull from different sources to be the moms we end up becoming. So to any women out there who choose otherhood and not the path of motherhood… please know you have probably influenced many along the way on how to be a woman! And I am grateful to all the females who have guided me!!!"
