Earlier this month, the 36-year-old hinted at their big reconciliation. “I learned that life is filled with ups and downs and it’s just about how you react to them,” she told Us Weekly. “You can get down on yourself and just be like, ‘Oh, the world’s ending,’ and just, you know, really be hard on yourself, or you can say, ‘I’m not the first and I won’t be the last, this happens to people,’ you know, ups and downs, and you just gotta keep pushing forward.”
