Torrei Hart is making it clear, wife or not, she is keeping her ex-husbands last name. In a very interesting interview with Too Fab, she shared her reasons for keeping his name.
‘Cause, it’s mine, first of all,” she said flat out while leaving LAX airport. “Second of all, ’cause Kevin never asked for it back — he don’t want [me] to give it back, he’s not trippin’. And third of all: my kids don’t want me to change my name.”
“That’s something that people always ask me,” she continued. “And I’m like: That’s my name — get over it!
They’re gonna always have something to say, but I’m gonna be a Hart until I decide not to be. And that’s just what it is.”
I went through a breakthrough, and let me tell you; it’s not like it was all peaches and cream because it wasn’t. I mean, there was times where I was like ‘God I don’t want to be here anymore.’
Because the divorce was very public, and I also had to watch him move on with a whole ‘nother woman and a whole ‘nother family,” Torrei said while promoting her new podcast “Breakin Thru with Torrei.”
According to Yahoo, things didn’t end on terrible terms between the two.
Torrei gave Kevin props for helping her to seek therapy after their split. The Fatherhood actor introduced Torrei to celebrity life coach Iyanla Vanzant who helped her to experience a big emotional “breakthrough.”
“Before the breakthrough, I did hit a rough patch, and like I said before, me and Kevin are friends.
I reached out to him for help, and he put me in touch with Iyanla Vanzant, who became my personal therapist … That’s part of the reason why I am having this big breakthrough,” she added.
Now, the ex-husband and wife work to co-parent their 16-year-old daughter Heaven Hart and 13-year-old son Hendrix Hart together.
