While not all celebrity relationships are meant to last, many exes have remained friendly in order to keep their pets in each other’s lives.
“We’re hoping sometime in the next couple months [that] we’ll be able to get [our house] listed and sold,” Katie Maloney exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2022 of her new normal with her ex-husband, Tom Schwartz, with whom she shares dogs Gordo and Butter. “We’re kind of in the process of figuring out our next moves of where we’re gonna live and what that’s gonna be like.”
She continued: “We wanna stay in the same area because we both have the dogs and we’re gonna like split custody of that. So it’s important to be near each other for that regard.”
Maloney and Schwartz — who tied the knot in 2016 — announced their separation in March 2022 after more than a decade together. They finalized their divorce in October 2022.
Mary Fitzgerald and her ex Jason Oppenheim, for their parts, not only work together at his Oppenheim Group brokerage but also share custody of their two canines, Niko and Zelda.
“He’s such a great guy, and he’s such a great dad to our puppies,” Fitzgerald — who married Romain Bonnet in March 2018 — exclusively told Us in April 2022 of Oppenheim, whom she briefly dated before Selling Sunset‘s 2019 debut. “You can just see how much love he has when he actually wraps his head around something. He never wanted dogs, either. He was annoyed that I had a dog, and now, like, our dogs are his life.”
