The split with Girardi occurred while Pavelka, 32, was on the set of 'Diva' to shoot his scenes. In a new interview, he tells PEOPLE that he's had no communication with his ex since the relationship went down in flames, but that "it's okay, everything happens for a reason....Hopefully she'll find that guy she can spend the next 60 years of her life with." He insists,"The whole thing was tragic and it was sad....We'll probably let a little bit of time go by, but I'm sure someday our paths will cross and we'll be friends."
