Drew shared her thoughts on the brilliant photos

The 41-year-old seems to be in good spirits since finalising her divorce with husband of four years Will Kopelman in early August. The couple announced their separation in April this year, and have remained close following the split.

The pair, who shares daughters Olive, three and Frankie, two, released a joint statement to People following the break-up, saying: "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.

The star also shared her old schoolwork

"Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority."
