'We waited': Couple get matching tattoos after their divorce and explain the odd reason why in You, Me & My Ex

There's nothing like a permanent reminder of your ex-partner.

While most people regret the tattoos they have of their past lovers, April and Roy waited until after they were divorced to commemorate their relationship – with matching ink.

In fact, April didn't even tell her new husband about it.

"Better to ask for forgiveness than permission," she admitted.

"There are times where it almost feels like we're not really divorced," confessed April. "That we're still kind of married... minus the sexual relationship."

You can find out the reason why in the video below. 

April and her ex-husband Roy share a 14-year-old son. They also raised two children together from April's first marriage.

"Why did we wait until we were divorced to do this?" April asked her ex-husband.

"Because when we were married, you wouldn't get tattoos... must be that new guy you've got," replied Roy.

They kept it as a surprise from their son, but older daughter Hayli, 24, definitely found it strange.

"My immediate thought was, well, that's a little weird," she said.

"You would always [be] like, fingers crossed," she told cameras.
