Barrymore gave birth to daughter Frankie on Tuesday, according to her representative.

The couple are already parents to 18-month-old daughter Olive.

“Happy to announce that today we are the proud parents of our second daughter, Frankie Barrymore Kopelman,” the couple told People Magazine in a statement.

“Olive has a new little sister, and everyone is healthy and happy!”

The 39-year-old star married art adviser Kopelman in June 2012 after dating for over a year. Later that year, Barrymore gave birth to Olive, having kept much of her pregnancy under wraps. But during her second pregnancy she decided to take a different approach.

“Last time I never commented on it and people just stalked me the entire time. So yes, it's happening, it's true. I tried to keep it a secret for as long as possible,” Barrymore said at the time.

Will Frankie follow in her mum’s footsteps and become an actor?

Ahead of the birth the actress revealed she felt a lot more relaxed about this labour than she did before having Olive.

“I feel very calm. I do,” she told Access Hollywood at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last month.

“I was nervous on my first one, but this one I feel much calmer.”
