PopEater chatted with Mark about the news of Pete and Ashlee's divorce and he revealed he didn't know about it ahead of the announcement.

"I saw that. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to Pete about it yet. It really caught me off guard," he said. "I had no idea. I mean, I'm friends with him and Ashlee, our families go out and have meals together and our kids play together."

"Especially when there's a kid involved... that's no good."
