“You’re a wonderful mom & role model to our incredible daughters. You always put their needs first & helped shape them into strong young women,” he continued. “I’ve always said that when it comes to co-parenting, I‘m extremely lucky because some people have a 50-50 split of time w/their kids…”

“With us, it feels more like 100-100,” Rodriguez wrote, adding, “Living in close proximity and working together despite busy schedules has allowed both of us to remain integral and active in the development of two young women whose future is limitless. And I have you to thank in large part for that.”

Rodriguez also said that Scurtis gave him “the two greatest two gifts any man could have.”
