I hope Kody and I can still remain friends through this," Christine said. "We've been high-key communicating with each other and stuff. We have good and bad days, don't get me wrong. But, we have a life still together after this because we have kids to raise and Truley's 11. So we have to be good and amiable and things like that. I think it's just important to remember that."
