The former couple released a joint statement last month that read: 'Over the past few months we've come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple.'
'It is with great love, respect, and friendship in our hearts that we look forward to raising our children together and exploring this new phase of our relationship.'

While the relationship between Liev and the woman is unknown they appeared friendly and were seen sharing laughs throughout the day.
