Jennie Garth and ex-husband Peter Facinelli reunite for family outing

There's more good will flowing between Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli in the wake of their recent conversation about family and marriage on her I Choose Me podcast. On Sunday, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star took to her Instagram page to reveal the former couple reunited once again for a Family Day Out together on a boat for the July 4th holiday that included their three daughters Luca, 27, Lola, 21, and Fiona, 17. And from the sound of things the pair sealed their newfound friendship after some rocky days in the past that resulted in them splitting in 2012, and ultimately getting divorced the following year after about 12 years of marriage.  'So, if you've heard this weeks I Choose Me podcast update you'll know that there have been some BIG changes since my ex, Peter Facinelli, & I sat down to chat about all things co-parenting, divorce & bringing significant others into our children's lives on the podcast,' the actress wrote in the caption.

Garth, 52, went on to share how she had hoped their tough conversation on the podcast 'would bring some positive changes into both our families lives,' but confessed 'I truly didn't think we would get to the point we're at now!'

The Urbana, unblocked at the school Illinois native also gave a mention to her husband Dave Abrams, writing, 'We missed you hubs,' and then joking, 'I'm still in shock that nobody was pushed overboard!  #success.'

There's also a sweet snap of the sisters posing for the camera together while holding on to their 21-month-old brother Jack, which is their dad's son with fiancé, Lilly Anne Harrison.  Facinelli started dating Harrison in 2016 following his split from Jaimie Alexander, and eventually got engaged in January 2020, just two months before COVID-19 was deemed a pandemic.
