Woods was adamant about telling his kids that it was he who made mistakes that led to their parent’s separation. “I was to blame, and so I’m taking initiative with the kids,” He spoke up in an interview with TIME, “We’ve worked so hard at co-parenting, to make sure that their lives are fantastic… and told them upfront, ‘Guys, the reason why we’re not in the same house, why we don’t live under the same roof, mummy and daddy, is because daddy made some mistakes’,”
