"I tried to make my marriage work because I have strong values and I believe that people make mistakes. But you reach a point where you realize the other person isn’t putting in as much effort as you are. And I reached my breaking point.”
Her divorce got finalized in September 2016, and as a part of the settlement, she was allowed to keep her Hampton home which she shared with her ex-husband before her split.
