Mercedes Javid is opening up about her split from Tommy Feight with honesty. The “Shahs of Sunset” alum said she has “no regret or doubt” about their decision to part ways after seven years of marriage.
The 51-year-old reality star confirmed the news in October, explaining that she and Feight are now focused on co-parenting their 6-year-old son, Shams. During an appearance on Jeff Lewis Live on November 7, the Bravo star said she feels lighter and more at peace as she steps into this next chapter.
“I feel like this is, you know, I love Tommy,” she said. “I might still be in love with Tommy. He’s always family. I’m always going to make sure he’s OK. I just think that this is something that’s necessary and positive for everybody.” The Traitors alum added, “I don’t have any regret or doubt.”
She’s Moved Out & Is Starting Fresh
Javid also confirmed that both she and Feight have moved out of their shared family home. “It’s very humbling to move from a place where your child was six months old until he’s six-and-a-half years old,” she said.
The real estate agent admitted the move was emotional but ultimately rewarding. “I’m very happy in my new place, as is Shams,” she added.
“He’s just like, very focused on what’s happening in his life, and he loves the new place. The way we filled it up and made it special before he saw it. And by we, I mean me.”
Living Close for Their Son
Javid shared that Feight also settled into a home nearby so they can easily co-parent their son. “He moved into pretty much the same cul-de-sac,” she said. “The difference between his place and my place is less than a minute driving.”
The arrangement, Javid explained, helps Shams stay connected to both parents as they adjust to their new normal.
A Hopeful Outlook on Love & Family
GettyBefore speaking on Jeff Lewis’ show, Javid discussed the split in a solo episode of her podcast, “Till The Dirt,” which she previously co-hosted with Feight.
“I’m just really, really hopeful about things being led by love,” she said. “And I strongly believe this can be a really positive thing. This could be the most civilized, loving separation. And I think that we can just morph into something healthy.”
Despite the heartbreak of ending her marriage, Javid remains focused on creating a peaceful and loving environment for Shams. “People shouldn’t have to tell you how to feel or what you want,” she said.
