Peter Facinelli discusses his divorce

Peter Facinelli has opened up about his divorce from Jennie Garth.

The Twilight actor, who has two kids with Jennie, says it is a painful process.

“It’s very painful to break up with somebody, especially after you’ve been together for 17 years and have kids. It’s even more painful when it’s played out in the media,” he said.

“I’ve tried to stay really quiet about it for the sake of my kids.

“We’re very dedicated to being great parents.”
