Jennie Garth<\/strong><\/a> and ex-husband Peter Facinelli<\/strong><\/a> have come a long way in their post-divorce relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis week on the \u2018I Choose Me\u2019 pod, I\u2019m joined by Peter Facinelli, my ex-husband & father of my children,\u201d Garth, 52, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Thursday, June 6, sharing a carousel of throwback photos with Facinelli, 50. \u201cThis was pretty big, for both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cWe sat down together to discuss our divorce, communicating as ex-partners & for the first time EVER, we reflected on our coparenting journey<\/a>. Turns out, we\u2019ve come pretty far. To any of you going through this journey, whether at the start of it or at the point of where it just feels never-ending. I commend you! It\u2019s not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garth and Facinelli, who share three daughters, were married from 2001 to 2012. They broke down their dynamic for the Wednesday, June 5, episode of Garth\u2019s iHeartRadio podcast.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe way it was. Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli were married for nearly 11 years before they eventually went their separate ways. The twosome \u2014 who met on the set of 1996\u2019s\u00a0An Unfinished Affair \u2014\u00a0tied the knot in January 2001 and announced their split in March 2012. \u201cWe both share the same deep love and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI felt a lot of it was I was in this marriage and it felt to me a little bit like an arranged marriage,\u201d Facinelli told Garth in the episode<\/a>. \u201cLike, I loved you, and we had this beautiful family, from the outside but I just was I hadn\u2019t developed who I was. I don\u2019t even know how you could love me because I didn\u2019t know me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued at the time, \u201cSometimes we would drive up to your mom\u2019s house, and I was the guy who drove, I planned the vacations, I was the dad. I was the soccer coach and then I go play parts [on acting jobs] and I was this other person playing parts, and so I was just like, \u2018Well, I never got [to] fully develop me.\u2019 I didn\u2019t know who I was, and so I needed to figure that out. I didn\u2019t feel like I had the space to do that within the marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once Garth and Facinelli divorced, they decided to split custody of daughters<\/a> Luca, now 26, Lola, now 21, and Fiona, now 17.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt was all about trying to find a balance and picking up the kids and knowing that they were going to miss you for the week and then dropping off knowing they were going to miss me for a week,\u201d Facinelli explained. \u201cI always felt like they were visiting me and maybe choosing a home, like your house is the home house and there\u2019s a lot of feelings of like, \u2018Well, is my house the house they come visit? Is your house the house they visit?\u2019 You know, like, where is their home?\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Facinelli joined Garth on her podcast, the actress wasn\u2019t sure it could ever happen.<\/p>\n
