The beauty has now clarified her husband didn't have to give the new love rival permission because they were over - almost "indefinitely".
She said: "As time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement [with August]. You giving permission only circumstance is myself.
"August was probably trying to communicate, I could see how he would perceive it as permission as we were separated amicably. He wanted to make it clear he's not a home wrecker. Which he's not."
