Everybody Loves Raymond Emmy winner Brad Garrett and his wife of seven years, Jill Diven, quietly divorced a year ago, he tells USA Today.Garrett, 46, says that he and Diven had kept their split a secret from his coworkers and even his parents for the past year, and that he and his ex – whom he considers "an extraordinary woman" and "the greatest mom in the world" – are on good terms. They have two children, Max, 7, and Hope, 6. "Our No. 1 focus is our kids and parenting," Garrett tells the paper. "We will always be friends because we will never be single parents. We will always be two parents." Still, he says, "You can’t stay together for the kids, because kids know everything. Sure, it’s daunting to have Daddy move out, but when he’s back two days later, and he gives Mom a hug, and everyone goes to lunch – that’s what it’s about."
