As for the parents’ relationship, it couldn’t be worse. “We don't communicate. We don't even text anymore. The last time I communicated with her was either through attorneys or in court,” Jon said. “It's a shame that we can't co-parent, and I know the whole world wants us too… but it just doesn't work.”
