Drew Barrymore maintains an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, Will Kopelman, as they navigate co-parenting their two daughters - but there's one thing they've always done differently.

While Drew prefers to keep Frankie, eight, and Olive, nine, out of the spotlight and rarely adds photos of them to social media, Will has delighted his followers with many family snapshots.
