Jennie Garth is rebuilding her friendship with her ex-husband, Peter Facinelli , after the pair were on the outs for years following their divorce.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 52, recently opened up about the status of her relationship with the Nurse Jackie actor, 50, during a new episode of her I Choose Me podcast, released on Sunday.
In fact, Garth said things have apparently improved between them so much that he "even unblocked me from Instagram!"
"I'd been blocked on his socials for so long that I [quit]caring years ago... but now I'm unblocked, you guys. That's big news," Garth explained.
Garth and Facinelli first met while shooting the 1996 TV movie An Unfinished Affair , and wound up tying the knot in 2001. However,Facinelli filed for divorce in March 2012, three months after the pair first separated.
The couple share three daughters --Luca, 27, Lola, 21, and Fiona, 17 -- but their initial split was somewhat contentious as they battled over custody issues and attempted to work on co-parenting.
Now, however, it seems the pair have found a way to move forward in their friendship. Facinelli even invited Garth to a very special occasion.
After her divorce from Facinelli, Garth met actor Dave Abrams on a blind date and the pair subsequently tied the knot in July 2015.
In early June, Garth and Facinelli sat down for a candid chat about their relationship, and the actor reflected on their whirlwind romance.
"We came together very fast, very furious, and very quick and I remember thinking, 'Well, let's move in together and see how it goes,' and it just went," Facinelli recalled of their romance. "Five years went by, and I thought, 'Well, we should get married.' Then we got married and had another kid. It was almost like an arranged marriage in a way and things seemed well. We had disagreements here and there, but I think we were really young."
"I didn't have a sense of who I was, and so I was just trying to be all these things for other people," Facinelli explained. "When that fell apart, it took me time to try to get in touch with me."
Repeating the sentiment that it felt like they had "an arranged marriage," Facinelli added, "I loved you and we had this beautiful family from the outside, but I hadn't developed who I was. So how you could you love me? I didn't know me."
