Jewel is telling it like it is!

In a candid new interview, the 41-year-old singer opened up about her recent divorce from Ty Murray — and admitted amicably co-parenting their son, Kase, takes a lot of effort.

"It's work. I don't want people to think it's effortless — it's work to do this because you obviously don't get a divorce because things are going well. But it's letting those things live in the past," Jewel recently told People.
