In a recent interview with People, Garth said she "was very resistant" to the split.

"I didn't want it to happen," she said. "It took me some time to come to peace with it."

The actress said their busy schedules eventually started taking a toll on the marriage.

Garth rose to fame in the 1990s TV series "Beverly Hills, 90210" and appeared in the 2008-10 sequel. Facinelli is a co-star in the "Twilight" movie franchise. Garth's new reality series, "Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country," premieres April 20 on CMT.
