“Unfortunately, because our divorces are happening at the same time, there has been a lot of speculation about our friendship.” My friendship with Tony Parker had nothing to do with the end of my marriage (which was already painful enough without this added drama), and assuming we had an affair is naive, ridiculous, and completely misguided. “Every day, I commit to being a good person and the best Mom I can be for my two beautiful children,” she continued.
