Jennie Garth embarked on a journey of self-discovery to appreciate her own qualities.
More than ten years after her separation from Peter Facinelli, with whom she shared nearly two decades, the What I Like About You star opened up about how she moved past the breakup. Her focus shifted towards co-parenting their daughters: Luca, 28, Lola, 23, and Fiona, 19.
“To become the co-parent I aspired to be, I had to confront feelings of forgiveness and acceptance,” Jennie shared in an exclusive chat with E! News. “It wasn’t about forgiving or accepting someone else; it was about embracing and forgiving myself throughout the process.”
The author of I Choose Me, who recently released her memoir, highlighted how extending kindness to herself enabled her to focus on her children.
“This transformation made me a better mom,” she added. “I became more present and attuned to their experiences, rather than being consumed by my own.”
