The mother-of-two wanted to make it clear that she loved both of the men who were, and are, part of her life.
'...When I say "Jo is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me" that in no way indicates that I didn't love my first husband with all that I had. How dare any one of you judge me and say that on a social platform,' she noted.
'It doesn't make you any better of a person to cast judgment on others and sit in the seat of mockers. I will always love chris and jo knows that. And I will always love Jo. The beautiful thing about love is that it multiplies as new blessings come into your life.'
'Pray for me to be a good husband and father': Josiah shared this photo of his then soon-to-be wife and her two sons. He noted that her boys 'say they say they have 3 dads: "Jesus daddy, daddy daddy, and Jo-Daddy"'
