Barrymore, 38, who confirmed she was pregnant with her second child in November, spilled the beans while being honored at the 2013 Beauty Inc Awards in New York today, according to Us Weekly which has been closely tracking Barrymore's pregnancy.
She chose a clever way to tell: Her acceptance speech for the Newcomer of the Year: Mass award for her Walmart beauty brand Flower, presented by Beauty Inc, a Women's Wear Daily special-issue magazine.
"I am so proud to accept this in celebration of women, including my daughter and my future daughter," Barrymore said.
Barrymore showed off her baby bump in a Helmut Lang blazer and pants for the event, in which she was joined by her husband, Will Kopelman, 36, and her in-laws Coco and Arie Kopelman.
Her father-in-law, the former chairman of Chanel, also referred to Barrymore's second baby girl as "Chanel No. 5" because she will be the fifth grandchild in the family, the magazine reported.
Once a troubled child star and descendant of a troubled-but-talented acting dynasty, Barrymore has since made a success in her film career, as a makeup maven, and as a wife and mom who has not been shy about her happiness and her desire for more kids.
Having grown up in makeup chairs, she said, she launched Flower in January with a message of empowerment for women.
"And on a business level, I wanted to give women the finest formulas," she said. "They deserve to have that level of quality, and I wanted to be the brand that delivers that to them."
