Jodie used to sleep over at my house and play with my daughter Aubrey, my oldest,” he said (via E! News). “Ashley and Mary-Kate, I love so much. When I’m in New York or when they’re here, when we can, we see each other.” He added of all four women, “They’ve all been there for me in a big way when I’ve gone through hard stuff.” For more celebrity news delivered right to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.
