For Mother's Day earlier this month, King shared a sweet post dedicated to her children.

"I am incredibly blessed to be your mama," she wrote. "Thank you for choosing me my beautiful babies. May I always hold for you and be the safest space that you know with happiness, peace, unconditional loving, support, laughter, abundance, understanding, joy and hearing and seeing you for you forever. Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's out there. #MothersDay."

According to a spokesperson on behalf of Newman to E! News, "Kyle was deeply saddened by Jaime's attempt to obtain court orders based solely on false claims without providing him any opportunity to respond. As a result, he was extremely pleased that the judge nevertheless permitted their children to remain in his care. As Kyle continues to solo parent, as he has done throughout this pandemic, he remains entirely focused on putting the children's stability and welfare first. Kyle wants nothing but the best for his whole family and hopes that Jaime can find the peace and help she needs."

The two first met on the set of Fanboys in 2005. 

King and Newman wed back in 2007.
