He graduated from Boston University in Massachusetts. He has a sister named Jill who is now a writer famous for 'Momzillas' and 'The Ex-Mrs. Hegefund'. Her sister attended the Manhattan private school, Spence, with actress, Gwyneth Paltrow, and went on to marry Harry Kargman, founder and CEO of Kargo.

He is an avid snowboarder and also likes to practice aim at the shooting range.RelationshipsIn 2006, Will Kopelman briefly dated actress Lara Flynn Boyle, who is known for playing Donna Hayward on ABC's 'Twin Peaks'. He was involved in another short-lived relationship with actress and model Sarah Roemer, who played the lead role in 'Disturbia', from 2007 to 2009.In 2010, he began dating actress and producer Drew Barrymore, whom he knew for the past four years. However, the couple soon hit a rough patch, but got back together in February 2011. They finally got engaged in December that year in Sun Valley, Idaho, and announced their engagement to the media in January 2012. The couple quickly tied the knot six months later on June 2, 2012 at her residence in Montecito, California. Their wedding photo was featured on the cover of 'People' magazine four days later. At the time, she was pregnant with their first daughter Olive, whom she gave birth to on September 26, 2012. The couple welcomed their second daughter Frankie Barrymore Kopelman on April 22, 2014. They lived together with the kids on the Upper East Side of New York City. However, on April 2, 2016, both Kopelman and Barrymore issued statements confirming that they had separated and were considering divorce. Barrymore filed for divorce on July 15, 2016, and the procedure was eventually finalized on August 3, 2016. Despite the split, they claim to be family and continue to co-parent the kids together.Controversies & ScandalsWhile both Will Kopelman and Drew Barrymore had been in other relationships before, their separation has been in the talks ever since they decided to part ways. Drew Barrymore, who was twice married before and had been into several relationships in the past, had termed her third divorce as her "worst nightmare". According to her, she was looking forward to raising her daughters "in this ultratraditional way and do everything so the polar opposite of my experience". However, according to insiders, the carefree and free-spirited actress, who had a troubled childhood and had been to the rehab twice before turning 20, could not fit into her new role. While she always craved for a family like the one she had got from Will and his parents, it still "wasn't making her happy". Some sources claim that the divorce happened because her hippy ways had started to become unbearable for Will. However, despite the split, they often spend holidays together, and she regularly praises him publicly for bringing stability to her daughters' lives. Their closeness has sparked rumors that they might be getting back together again, but no official comment has been made about the same.
