You may be aware that divorce can be very devastating to the children but also to the parents. That said, my marriage has been a sh*t show and I am sorry for that.”

Trevor Magallanes said that what was most important to him at that moment was handling the divorce in the best way possible and spending time with his daughter, Athena.
