'I don’t talk to her on the phone every day but every now and then we talk.' Billy Bob shares Harry with former Playboy model Pietra Dawn Cherniak, whom he was married to from 1993 until their divorce in 1997 amid her claims that he had abused her in front of their children.Thornton and Jolie first starred together in 1999's Pushing Tin before their whirlwind courtship. After only two months together, the couple wed in 2000.Harry gushed that 'she was so cool' to him and his siblings.'She took us camping every week and she rented, like, an RV one time, and we went on a full camping trip,' he recounted.'She was just so fun for us back when we were, like, younger.

Harry was looking back on his time with his stepmother while promoting his new nepotism-themed reality series Relatively Famous: Ranch Rules, which premiered on E! on Wednesday.The series follows eight celebrity children as they give up the conveniences afforded them by their parents' wealth to temporarily live and work on a ranch.
