Drew and Will’s split came as a shock to many in Hollywood.

The Daily News says the papers “suggest there will be no messy fights between the two”.

As it stands, the divorce is currently “uncontested”.

The 41-year-old Blended star began dating her estranged husband in 2011 after being friends for years.

They married at her lavish Montecito California estate in 2012.

Drew, pictured with daughter Frankie, has vowed to put all her energy into her children now.

When Drew and Will announced their separation they put out a joint statement.

“Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family.

“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.”

Drew and Will married in 2012 after having been friends for years. The star was previously married to comedian Tom Green and bar owner Jeremy Thomas.
