“I had no relationship with anybody in my own family,” she said. “My ex-husband’s family was absolutely wonderful. So, I did score there, which was great.”

Chyler further shared, “My relationship with my ex had reached a point where it was just time. It was time to let it go. Even after such a long time, we’d been together, it would be 26 years this year.”

The 44-year-old actress added that her and Nathan's split is “amicable” and that they’re effectively “co-parenting."

“We were doing all the things that we can, but just hit a point where it was like, ‘Okay, you what you want and what I want aren’t really lining up anymore,'” she said.

“And I’d rather us be on good terms, and us not harbor the resentment, and the anger and the passive aggressive — all that stuff. It’s not worth it," continued the Grey’s Anatomy alum.

"And so, when it becomes so abundantly apparent, and the kids are picking up on it, and the whole family, it just shifts the mood and the dynamic of everything," she added.

For those unversed, Chyler and Nathan tied the knot in July 2002, and the exes share three kids - son Noah Wilde, 23, and daughters Taelyn Leigh, 20, and Annisto, 17.
