The ex-Bachelor host confessed to E! News that the split was amicable but “the most difficult” part of his life, saying: “I keep a smile on my face because I have to, but Gwen and I, we’ve been together for 22 years, married for almost 19. So we grew up together and we have so much history, it would be foolish to not be friends.
