“It’s true that Jen filed for divorce yesterday, and it’s true that I found out from a TMZ reporter about the filing,” he said on TikTok. “However, this is something we’ve been talking about for a long time.

“I don’t want anyone to talk bad about Jen,” he said. “I’ll just be the first person to say that I’ve made enough mistakes in our marriage, and it was time for us to make our own way. We got married so young, and it’s terrible because I really felt like we had something very special when we got married, but … life happened. We had four kids. We signed up for reality TV on a show that really hurts a lot of people’s lives. …
Zac said he’s seen “all kinds of things” online since the recording, so he wanted to “shut down any commentary.” He also said that he is thinking of getting his PhD or starting a business.
“Maybe Netflix will give us the DadTok divorce show that no one asked for,” he joked.
