"We we had problems that needed to be fixed and dealt with. And I think one of the reasons that it took 13 years to really and fully address the problems head-on is because, you know, maturing artists," Evans explains."He has four kids and I have three kids and we raised them all from the time we got married when they were so young. My two daughters don't even remember our wedding.
Amid the isolation from the rest of the world, Evans says she found herself sitting there with Barker and their family. With no external outlets they could turn to to let off some steam, they soon reached a boiling point. The first sign there was trouble came in 2021 when Evans filed for divorce. And no blow-up, of which outside a house party that led to Barker's arrest.
"It would have been so sad if we didn't reconcile and we didn't stay together because we've had 15 years together," she says."With all these kids and all these memories and, you know, forgiveness is a big thing with me. I like to be forgiven when I mess up and I also believe very strongly in forgiving people... there's a bliss again and I just kind of am floating through life and again, two years of hard work.
She adds,"It was a very, very difficult decision and really hard one to record. And then anticipating it being released and waiting for the backlash, I probably had many fainting spells because I was like, 'Oh my God. I'm so dreading this.' But it's out. We did it and now I want the podcast to be a lot more positive, but still intriguing and interesting."
