Torrei Hart has moved on and is addressing “negative Ninas” who think she’s bitter following her ex-husband’s marriage.

Earlier this month, Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish wed in a beautiful ceremony complete with a carnival themed reception. And, while Torrei didn’t attend her ex’s nuptials, she did post a congratulatory note on Instagram.

Congratulations @kevinhart4real and @enikobaby Keep God First.

Inside Kevin Hart and Eniko Parrish’s Wedding Day

However, despite showing her love and support for the newlyweds, some fans still seem to think Torrei resents the couple, so she’s taken to Instagram to squash the rumors. 

“This picture is absolutely beautiful. My heart skipped a beat!!! People really want me to be angry and bitter…..well I’m not,” read the caption on a photo Torrei posted of Kevin with their daughter Heaven, “all you negative Ninas can have a seat. We didn’t work out life goes on. Now it’s time to be the best blended family we can be so our kids are surrounded with nothing but love. Congrats again!!!”

Kevin and Torrei split back in 2010, and their divorce was finalized in 2011. It’s been years since their split and the pair have made it very clear on a number of occasions that they’ve both moved on. Last year, Kevin posted a photo of their blended family, writing, “This is one of the best pictures that I have ever posted….No matter what I am a MAN & as a MAN I have responsibilities….My #1 responsibility is 2 raise 2 beautiful kids….As a MAN its my job to make sure that the two most important women in my life have a relationship….Its important that my kids see their mother & father HAPPY because we both deserve to be.”

This is one of the best pictures that I have ever posted….No matter what I am a MAN & as a MAN I have responsibilities….My #1 responsibility is 2 raise 2 beautiful kids….As a MAN its my job to make sure that the two most important women in my life have a relationship….Its important that my kids see their mother & father HAPPY because we both deserve to be. As a MAN its my job to provide security for my FAMILY….the moral of the story is that your past should never affect your present. I love my present and I will always love my family….I want to take the time to personally stand up & applaud @enikobaby @TorreiHart ….For simply being amazing. #DopePic #Harts #FamilyForLife
