In 2019 Eric said he and Rebecca are friends, according to ET. ‘We have two kids. It’s not complicated…it doesn’t have to be.’

Gayheart said two years ago that parenting ‘pretty much solo’ amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The blonde beauty said it was ‘difficult’ for them to co-parent, leaving Rebecca to do most of the work herself.

She said: ‘[I’ve been parenting] pretty much solo. With the pandemic and the social distancing, [it] has been difficult. But they’ve been here with me so that’s been good. [It’s] very consistent that they’ve been in one place.’
