The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum noted that co-parenting “of course” affects Noah, 11, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 7.
“People make a mistake of thinking that they’re gonna do things so the separation doesn’t affect the kids,” he said. “The only choice you have is how it affects the kids.
“The person that you were with that you’re now separated from, you guys are separated for a reason. Because you didn’t get along. So, you can’t expect to then get along after the fact in raising your kids.”
