Eva Amurriis getting used to coparenting and the ups and downs that come with it.
In a new update on her blog, Happily Eva After, the soon-to-be mother of three got candid about the past few months of adjusting to coparenting with her estranged husbandKyle Martinoamid their recent divorce.
While the actress and blogger says she is “really proud” of the former couple’s progress with the new lifestyle, she admitted that it was not easy for her in the beginning.
“Kyle had the kids for the first time at his apartment right around the holidays. It was extremely emotional for me to drop them off– not because they hadn’t spent time with just him before (they had, of course), but because it seemed like such a big milestone in the life of our divorce,” Amurri, 34, shared.
“That first weekend ‘away’ from me felt so big to me– sad and strange,” she added. “Kyle was really kind about it, and helped me through– sending me photos and videos of the kids nonstop. I sobbed in the car on the drive home, and texted some girlfriends some very dramatic things about my heart being left behind in Brooklyn.”

Overall, the expectant mother said communication has been extremely important for her and Martino, 38, who is an NBC Sports analyst.
“Both of our priorities that the kids are happy, healthy, and feel safe– and that their world is as full of love and support as possible,” she wrote. “When we have disagreements we always come back to that focus and re-evaluate.”
