Two days before they made news of their separation public, Kristin filed the court papers, Us Weekly first reported.

“She’s planning to stay in Nashville so they can co-parent,” the insider revealed.

While Kristin insisted the rumor wasn’t true, she accused her friend of “fueling the fire” by continuing to mention Jay on social media.

On her reality show, she revealed she hadn’t spoken to her friend all Summer after rumors of their affair surfaced.

On a recent episode, Kristin praised her husband after having a “rocky year.”

“I feel like the older you get, the more you realize who is supposed to be in your life.

“You figure out who your real friends are — friends come and go. It’s nice that I have you as my constant. You’re my common denominator.”

She added: “Every marriage has their ups and downs, but what I’ve realized this past year is that I’ve really leaned on Jay more than I ever have.

“Especially after everything I’ve been going through — he’s really been there for me,” she said just months before their divorce.
