The influencer has been frank about her relationship status by documenting her journey on social media.
According to Britain’s “The Sun” publication, the couple decided to end their marriage after things became nasty between them.
After four years, and her having a baby with someone else, they then decided to give it another try.
Ames said the main reason for their reconciliation was for the sake of their children, and wrote: “I hope our kids know that even though our first marriage didn’t work out how we expected, they’re the reason we fought like hell, to make sure the second time around would be the forever kind of love they’ll tell their own kids about some day.”
