We have been through many highs and lows in our 24 years of marriage and as we navigate this new chapter in our lives, we will co-parent our amazing children.”
Barry and Kim will continue to co-parent and face the next chapter of their lives apart. “Personally, I’ve changed through the process of this divorce,” Barry says in the trailer. Meanwhile, Kim doesn’t think Barry has “loosened up” as much as she has post-divorce.
