According to PEOPLE, Zac said, “It is true that Jen filed for divorce yesterday and it is true that I found out from a TMZ reporter about the filing. But regardless of that, this is something we’ve been talking about for a long time.”
“Jen came to me about a year ago after Dancing with the Stars and told me she was unhappy and wanted a divorce. And I basically begged her to stay, told her [I would] work on things, fix things, become whoever she needed me to be, and ultimately just we couldn’t make it work,” he added.
He also described the situation as painful, saying, “It sucks.” He continued, “I really do love Jen and I still love Jen.” Zac acknowledged that he had “made plenty of mistakes in our marriage,” but said “it just really was time for us to go our own ways.”
The reality star also reflected on getting married at a young age. He said he genuinely believed they had something special when they tied the knot, but their relationship changed over time. He also discussed the challenges of raising their four children. It was while navigating life on a reality TV show, which he said had hurt many people’s lives.
