The 54-year-old continued:
“Lots of sh*t went crazy in our relationship, and it wasn’t good. We separated, but we never got a divorce; we were about to, and then we didn’t. We haven’t lived in the same home for eight years; he’s dated other people, I’ve dated someone.”

“So whatever I can do or however I can show up to make this journey better for him or easier for him, I want to do that. And I want to model that for my girls: That’s what you do. That’s the right thing to do.”
