Snow, 38,opened upabout her split from Stanaland, 34, during an appearance on Alex Cooper’sCall Her DaddypodcastWednesday.
Cooper brings up the rumors that swirled among viewers ofSelling the OCabout the nature of Stanaland’s relationships with some of his co-stars. “Your ex-husband went on a reality show and there was a situation with another woman that just played out and you had no idea what was happening until it aired for the world,” she says.
“They took up a lot of energy and emotion and time and real estate in my head," thePitch Perfectstar replies, referring to the Oppenheim Group real estate agents around whom the show is centered. “I don’t wanna give them any more time and energy because then they would win and get what they wanted — which was getting my time and energy and attention.”
Snow adds, “I will say what people think happened, happened.”
Delving deeper into her relationship with Stanaland, Snow says, “I was not aware of a lot of things.” She notes that the “saddest part” about the situation is that she didn’t listen to her own instincts about her ex-husband despite feeling she has a “good sense of character.”
“I had instincts,” she says, “and I think because I was in love, I didn’t trust them.”

She continues, noting that there were happy times for the pair: “There was a marriage there. There was so much love. And I think that that gray [area] is hard to understand because it’s much more salacious and interesting that ‘he did this, and she did this.’ "
The couple tied the knot in March 2020 and separated in September 2022,finalizing their divorce the following June.
