Even though the couple announced they are ending their 11-year-marriage, a source tells HollywoodLife.com that they really tried to work things out.

Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli did everything they could to keep their marriage alive. HollywoodLife.com spoke to a source close to the couple who reveals that they went through couple’s counseling in hopes to reconcile but it just didn’t work, adding that the couple are both “very upset.”

“They are very upset,” a source says. “Divorce isn’t easy, especially since they have three children together. They grew apart over time but they did go to counseling to try to work things out.”
