It has been quite a month for former Beverly Hills 90210 stars. We reported earlier that Brian Austin Green (David Silver) is facing charges after he allegedly attacked a photographer and might be expecting a child with wife Megan Fox. Now Jennie Garth is speaking out about her split with her soon-to-be ex-hubby Peter Facinelli. Facinelli is best known for his role as Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the Twilight series.
Garth told People magazine that she worked really hard on her marriage and didn’t want to let go of Facinelli: “I was very resistant. I didn’t want it to happen. It took me some time to come to peace with it.”
The divorce comes as a surprise because the pair were together for over a decade. The couple have three daughters and used to dub themselves as the Facinelli Five.
Garth cites too much time apart as the reason their union is being severed.
Facinelli is filing for joint custody of their daughters.
Twitter users are sad to see the couple split:
