Jennie Garth On Her Divorce: "My Farm Animals Give Me Sense Of Relief" [PHOTOS]

SPOTTED: Jennie Garth was at The Grove in Los Angeles today for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra.

When Jennie found out that her husband of 10 years, Peter Facinelli, was leaving her and wanted a divorce, she was devastated but somehow has found solace in an unexpected place: her farm animals.

“Having all these animals fills a void for me because I’m kind of going through a rough time right now,” the actress said on the premiere of her new CMT show, Jennie Garth: A Little Bit Country. “The animals give you unconditional love, and that feels good.”

Garth added: “I think that my animals give me a sense of like relief, like they make me feel like none of that other bull– matters. When you look into their eyes, and they look back at you, and they don’t want anything, they just want love. Whether I’m successful or not successful, whether I’m fat or thin, if I’m nice or if I’m not nice, they still love me.”

“[Peter]’s doing his thing and I’m doing mine,” Jennie explained. “I chose to come up here and be with the quieter lifestyle, and that’s why I’m here. Getting separated has definitely been difficult, but being out here in the country has sort of made things a little easier.”
