Speaking to his followers, Zac said: 'I wanted to come on here and address everything that is happening, I don't have a PR team right now but I think this is the right thing to do. So I'm just going to speak from the heart.'So 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 we've been talking about this for a long time.'Jen came to me about a year ago after Dancing With The Stars and said she wasn't happy and wanted a divorce, I basically begged her to stay and told her I would work on things and fix things and become whoever she needed me to be. But we just couldn't make it work.'It sucks because I really love Jen. When I first met Jen she had this light about her, unlike anyone I've ever met and she really does have a really good heart. I will continue to support her and be her biggest fan. I really do believe in her. Anything with acting and singing, wherever she goes I believe she'll be successful.'We're really just trying to figure out at this point what's next and how we handle this with the kids, they are my priorities. The thing that is eating me alive the most is that I feel like I have failed my kids and I'm going to cause them damage. I hope we can still give them a normal childhood. But as far as that goes Jen and I are definitely on the same page with wanting to give them the best life we can and be teammates.'I don't want anyone speaking bad about Jen. I'll be the first to say I've made plenty of mistakes in our marriage it just really was time for us to go our own ways.'We got married so young and it sucks because I felt we had something special when we got married, but life happened. We had four kids and we signed up for reality TV on a show that has really hurt a lot of people's lives.'It's just hard. Marriage is hard and having your marriage in public is hard. Raising kids is hard. Slowly over time we lost that spark and life happened.'I'm just coming on here to shut down any narratives. I've seen all sorts of things, like Team Zac, Team Jen. The only team is just trying to give these kids the best life we can and supporting each other, I think we're going to continue to do so and see what a healthy co-parenting can look like. That's my goal and Jen has also said so.'Please just remember we're human, we're people. Please be kind and understanding.'I don't know what's next... maybe Netflix will give us a divorced DadTok show? That was supposed to be funny...'
