Will and Drew married in Montecito in 2012 and ended their four-year marriage amicably in 2016 by sharing the news with a joint statement.
“Unfortunately, our family is legally separating, although we don’t feel that this is stopping us from being a family,” the couple said.
They continued, “With a divorce you may feel like a failure, but at some point you find grace in the idea that life goes on. Our children are our universe and we look forward to having the rest of our lives with them as our first priority. ‘
And years later, Drew admitted that the “last” thing she wanted for her children was divorce because she “hadn’t been raised in any family.”

“I really didn’t take the divorce very well. I took it really hard, ”she admitted with Willie Geist on Sunday Today in October.
‘I was like,’ Oh, the ultimate promise I wanted to make to and for you was to have this amazing family. And I found it. And there is something that doesn’t work, that isn’t worth living. How tragic is that? ”
The Never Been Kissed star also said she was initially drawn to Will because he was solid in more ways than one.
“Will touched on a lot of my pragmatic sides … He was someone who was always available on the phone, someone who was a classy person, someone who has this incredible blueprint of a family that I don’t have,” she continued.
