Peter Facinelli Details Bond With Ex Jennie Garth After Taking Her in During L.A. Wildfire

Peter Facinelli is sharing what he likes about his ex. 

After taking in Jennie Garth—who he was married to from 2001 to 2013—and her husband Dave Abrams when they were evacuated during the Los Angeles wildfires, the Twilight alum spoke out on why it was a no brainer to invite the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum into his home. 

“When people are going through hard times, my door is always open,” Peter exclusively told E! News’ Francesca Amiker. “So, as much as it’s flattering for someone to say, ‘Hey, it was really noble of you to take your ex-wife and husband,’ I mean, I could never imagine saying no.”

And it was an especially easy decision considering his close bond with Jennie, with whom he shares daughters Luca, 27, Lola, 22, and Fiona, 18.  

“I love her,” Peter continued. “She’s the mother of my kids. I consider her a friend. I consider her husband a friend.”
