Jennie Garth, Peter Facinelli Divorce: Facinelli Talks Co-Parenting (VIDEO)

Peter Facinelli Reveals Upside Of Divorce

"Twilight" actor Peter Facinelli stopped by HuffPost Live on Monday to reflect on his acting career. Also on the agenda? What it's like to co-parent his three daughters with ex Jennie Garth.

"Co-parenting has been great. I'm able to have the kids every other week and in some ways -- a lot of ways -- it makes me an even better father," Facinelli said. "I get to get up and make them breakfast, make them lunches, take them to school and I have the full responsibility of all three girls for the whole entire week, and I bond a lot with them that way."

Facinelli filed for divorce from Garth in March 2012 after 11 years of marriage. In November 2012, he took his relationship public with "Nurse Jackie" co-star Jaimie Alexander. Garth has been linked to Jeremy Salken, the drummer for the electronica duo Big Gigantic, since the split.
