“Things were so unhealthy and unhappy for both Jordan and me — I knew I had to end it. It wasn’t good for us, and it wasn’t good for Max to witness our arguments,” she told People in December 2010. “Children can feel when things aren’t right in the home. I had bouts of extreme anxiety. I really didn’t want to hurt Jordan, and I felt torn about splitting our family up.”

The divorce was finalized in April 2011, and the two have remained in a healthy coparenting relationship since.
