So happy! ans and famous friends rushed to share their best wishes
She told Harper's Bazaar UK how Jack is now a 'dear friend' and they co-parent their two teenage children.
Karen explained how 'conscious uncoupling fell on it's head', adding: 'I look at him and think 'You're my family'. I know him as 'Dad' - I roll my eyes at his dad jokes and I offer him advice when our teenagers are giving him grief.
Conscious uncoupling came to prominence when Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who runs the lifestyle brand Goop, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin used the phrase in a statement announcing their divorce in March 2014.
Karen said: 'Every divorce has its challenging moments. We first tried to do the Goopy conscious-uncoupling thing.

'That all fell on its head, but now I can wholeheartedly say that my ex-husband is a dear friend and someone I love.'
'Our relationship is purely that of parents.'
Gwyneth famously declared her separation from Chris was a 'conscious uncoupling' from ex-husband Chris Martin, 42.
The 45-year-old star and her crooner ex used the phrase to announce their breakup in 2014 after 10 years of marriage, and although she insists she does not "regret" it, she conceded it ran the risk of being cringeworthy.
Speaking candidly on The Goop Podcast in 2018, she said: 'Do I regret consciously uncoupling? No, not at all... the term is a bit dorky.'
