AceShowbiz - Jennie Garth, 52, and Peter Facinelli, 50, recently took a significant step forward in their relationship as exes, embarking on a family outing together on the ocean. The occasion marked the fruition of a transformative conversation they had on Garth's "I Choose Me" podcast, where they candidly discussed their past challenges and their newfound friendship.

Garth shared a series of heartwarming snapshots from the family day on her Instagram account. In the caption, she expressed her gratitude for the positive changes that had emerged from their podcast discussion. "I truly didn't think we would get to the point we're at now!" she wrote. "We had a family day out. It was a beautiful day & seeing the girls happy made my heart feel so full."

The outing brought together not only Garth, Facinelli, and their three daughters, Luca, Lola, and Fiona, but also Facinelli's fiancee, Lily Anne Harrison, and their 1-year-old son, Jack. The blended family enjoyed a leisurely time on the boat, taking in the scenic views.

Garth's husband, Dave Abrams, was notably absent from the gathering, but she gave him a special shout-out in her caption. Harrison and her son also joined in the family fun, showcasing the positive dynamics between the two families.

Garth and Facinelli met on the set of a TV movie in 1996 and married in 2001. However, they separated in 2012 and divorced in 2013. Despite their past difficulties, they have worked towards creating a harmonious post-divorce relationship for their children, putting their girls' well-being first.

Facinelli has embraced his new role as a co-parent and is thankful for the positive relationship he now has with Garth. Speaking on Garth's podcast, he said, "I really look at it like, 'Wow, they’re incredibly fortunate to have had now these stepparents that they've gotten to know, that have added to their personalities, that they’ve grown through them.' "

Garth and Facinelli's journey to a positive co-parenting relationship is not only a testament to their commitment to their daughters but also an inspiration for other divorced couples seeking to navigate the challenges of post-marital life. Their blended family outing serves as a heartwarming reminder that even after the end of a romantic relationship, it is possible to foster a healthy and supportive family dynamic.
