In a candid podcast interview, Jennie Garth, the acclaimed actress known for her role in the hit series ‘90210, Beverly Hills,’ recently brought to light a contentious issue regarding her former husband, Peter Facinelli. The actress alleged that Facinelli’s dating preferences on the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya were in his daughter’s age range. Garth, 53, disclosed this during a segment on the ‘I Do, Part 2′ podcast, shared with comedian Jana Kramer and podcast host J.P. Rosenbaum. She claimed that Facinelli’s age range preference on the app was close to the age of their eldest daughter, Luca, now 27 years old.
Garth’s remarks sparked immediate interest, particularly since Raya is a niche platform that caters to a more selective audience. Her accusations were not elaborated upon further, and the specific details of the incident remain unclear. However, Facinelli’s representatives refuted any wrongdoing, stating that he had only been on one date on Raya, which was with his current partner, Lily Anne Harrison. According to the rep, the date was with the same person he is currently married to, indicating that the connection was both professional and personal.
The couple, who had a long-standing relationship and were married in 2001, divorced in 2012. Despite the separation, Garth revealed that the couple has since reconciled and are now officially friends. She shared during the podcast interview that they were invited to their son’s christening, and that they would be embarking on a family boat trip, highlighting the evolving dynamics of their relationship. Garth also spoke about the positive outcomes of their collaboration on the podcast, noting that they had reconnected and even unblocked each other on social media platforms.
The incident has prompted broader discussions about privacy, personal boundaries, and the implications of public figures’ personal relationships. As the media continues to focus on the lives of celebrity couples, the story serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in maintaining private lives in the public eye. Garth’s allegations, while not verified, have opened a dialogue about the potential for misuse of dating apps and the need for personal accountability in such situations.
