Lawrence shared a series of videos about her relationship, including criticism she received from strangers online.

“In one of the comments he said, ‘I used to look at that kid with so much resentment’ and why?” he says. “Why would I treat a child this way? He is part of the man I love and want to be with for the rest of my life. Why would I do anything but love him?”

Lawrence added that other commenters on TikTok have accused her husband of treating her badly and suggested he “has no self-respect.”

“It’s not like he had a child when we were together,” she says of this criticism. “Why can’t I trust him? I’ll trust that man with my life.”

He continues: “I said, ‘Sure.’ I didn’t know what it was about, but it turned out he still had feelings for me. I still had all the feelings for him, too, and we…we know the past is the past. We don’t want to be without each other, we don’t want to be without each other.” “We can’t be without, so let’s do what we have to do to make this work, and that’s exactly what we did.”
