She added: "So she's really spending a lot of time with the girls. We're family. I want it all to be nice. I have my nieces I love and adore and I like everybody to get along."

"She said to me, 'Listen, the rules are: you go out, you date, you do whatever it is you want to do. I'm not going to be asking you what you're doing, I don't want you to be asking me what I'm doing. We are separated...'"
