"We met when, well I was 16, I think people change and grow. We were babies. That’s not our babies’ fault."
He added that he wanted to keep on good terms with Francesca. He wanted the pair to create a "love-filled" environment for their kids.
The couple announced they had split up in December last year. In a message at the time, they wrote: "Our main focus will always be our beautiful children. Every decision that has been made is to make sure we can continue as a loving family and give the very best of ourselves as parents.
"Raising Rose and Micah in a healthy and happy environment is the most important thing to both of us. Sometimes after so many years people just move in different directions, but we do so lovingly and we continue to try and be both the best parents possible and the best of friends to each other."
