She also previously spoke to Evening Standard about the evolution of her relationship with Martin. "I think we’ve managed to really stay a family," she told the outlet, calling her ex, "a very close friend."

"I see him every day, I talk to him every day," she continued. "And it was very difficult, but I think you see in the children that they got through it, so I am proud of us, I really am. We kept to our commitment that we would put the children first."
