‘The Drew Barrymore Show’: Andie MacDowell Says Daughter Margaret Qualley Told Her To “Get A Life”

Andie MacDowell had a hard time letting her children leave the nest.

On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress — who is the mother of Margaret Qualley, Rainey Qualley, and Justin Qualley — said she didn’t feel “happy and free” like other moms do when their kids grow up and move out.

“I didn’t have that feeling. I still don’t have that feeling. I’ve had to work really hard on my independence,” she said. “Margaret basically told me I needed to get a life. She was right. She’s so grown up.”

MacDowell told host Drew Barrymore, who has two kids of her own, that her children used to follow her into the bathroom and put their feet in the bathtub while they sat and chatted.

“Those days are gone. I am dying for my adult girls to come into the bathroom with me,” MacDowell joked. “Let me get in the bathtub and sit there with their feet in the water. I would love that!”

“But they don’t want to do that. She has a husband!” she added, referring to Margaret’s music producer husband Jack Antonoff, whom she wed in 2023.

While MacDowell misses having her kids around more, she couldn’t be more proud of them.

“I am happy. I’m happy. I really am in ecstatic. My kids are doing really well,” she said, noting that her daughter Rainey just had a baby and her son Justin is going to have another, making her the grandmother to “three little girls.” Margaret, for her part, is a budding movie star whose film The Substance was just nominated for Best Picture at the 2025 Oscars.

MacDowell has also “created a life” for herself in a South Carolina community that has a lot of people closer to her age, which makes it “easy to socialize.”
