'I saw this on @prattprattpratt ig awhile ago, it is such a great read if you need a little kick in the @$$ (becoming a book worm lately),' she wrote.

The post came just a few weeks after it was reported that Dakota, 29, had filed divorce from Bristol after less than two years of marriage.

In December, nearly four months after he and Anna announced their divorce, Chris revealed in an Instagram video that his pastor's new book has helped him 'keep the faith' while going through some hardships.

'I read books by my Pastor Chad Veach at Zoe Church in LA. I find his book Faith Forward Future to be very helpful,' he said, while crediting the faith-based book with helping him get through the tough times.

Over the summer, Chris was seen taking his five-year-old son Jack to Zoe Church to see the pastor, who has mentored everyone from Justin Bieber to Hailey Baldwin.

Bristol also appears to be cherishing her quality time with her three children while going through her divorce.

Four hours after she shared a snapshot of the book she was reading, she posted a cute video of her youngest daughter Atlee Bay giggling uncontrollably.  

The clip shows nine-month-old Atlee standing up with Bristol's help until her mom lets her go as part of the game they are playing. The tot goes flying towards the floor, but she erupts into a fit of laughter when her mother catches her at the last second. 

Earlier this week, Bristol snapped a selfie with her only son, Tripp, to celebrate him getting his first contact lenses.

She also recently posted a snapshot of her eldest daughter, two-year-old Sailor Grace, sitting on a camouflage colored couch with little Atlee, writing: '2/3 of my [heart emoji].

Last week, Bristol returned to Texas after spending some time quality time with her family in her home state of Alaska.

The mother-of-three posted a snapshot of herself enjoying the Alaskan winter with Sailor Grace, writing: 'Already missing AK.'

Little Sailor has on a fleece hat, a purple hood, and pink galoshes for the outing, while Bristol is sporting a tan knit cap and a black ski jacket.

Both of their faces are pink from the cold as they smile for the camera.

A source told DailyMail.com that Dakota has filed for divorce a month ago and moved out of the couple's Austin home around Christmas. The source also said that Dakota has blocked Bristol on social media.

Dakota and Bristol were married in a private ceremony back in 2016, a little over a year after calling of their first wedding just days before the ceremony.

They have two daughters together, Sailor and Atlee, who was born in May. Bristol also has a nine-year-old son, Tripp, from her relationship with her former fiancé Levi Johnston.

The news was first reported by TMZ, which later stated that Dakota filed for divorced from Bristol on January 29 in Texas, using only their initials.

Bristol was in Alaska with all three of her children when the news broke on February 13.

Just two days before, Bristol posted a snapshot of her mother, Sarah Palin, holding up a cake in honor of her 54th birthday.

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMA thank you for being my voice of reason, my strongest supporter, and my greatest friend [cheers emoji] to 54 #54how #bionic,' she captioned the image, which also shows Tripp eating a piece of cake.

She later posted a photo of herself posed with her sisters Willow, 23, and Piper, 16, and her female cousins, calling them 'some of my favs.'

During the visit, Bristol's sisters both shared photos of themselves bonding with their nieces.

Willow posted an Instagram snapshot of herself tickling Sailor, while Piper shared an image of herself holding little Atlee.

Bristol appeared to spend about a week in Alaska before she returned back to her home in Texas.

In May 2017, a few months after Bristol and Dakota moved to Austin, she explained on her Patheos blog that they both agreed to 'meet in the middle' and move somewhere between Alaska and his home state of Kentucky to raise their family.

It's unclear if Bristol plans on staying in Texas following the divorce, but she had nothing but nice things to say about the state in a February 15 blog post.

'Texas – obviously – is very very different than Alaska,' she wrote. 'But I’ve found the people to be warm and inviting. It’s so cool that this nation is made up of so many different types of climates and people!'

Bristol's relationship with Dakota has been rocky to say the least. The pair got engaged during a Rascal Flatts concert in Las Vegas in early 2015, planning a wedding in Kentucky.

But less than a week before the ceremony, Bristol announced the wedding would not take place, and instead of tying the knot, she set off on an RV trip in Alaska with an exotic model.

A month later she announced she was pregnant with Sailor Grace, although she initially refused to say whether Dakota was the father.

She admitted that her second out-of-wedlock pregnancy was 'a huge disappointment to my family'.

'I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy,' Bristol said.

'Everyone knows I wanted more kids, to have a bigger family. Believing I was heading that way, I got ahead of myself. Things didn't go as planned, but life keeps going on.'

Sailor Grace, was born on December 23, 2015, and the couple went through a custody battle after the birth, with Sarah Palin shaming her now son-in-law when he asked for child support in court papers.

'For many months we have been trying to reach out to Dakota Myers [sic] and he has wanted nothing to do with either Bristol's pregnancy or the baby,' Sarah told Entertainment Tonight in a statement after learning about Dakota's child support request.'

She then said that Meyer was just trying to 'save face.'

Bristol's rep also released a statement, saying: 'My values are such that a real American hero doesn't ask for child support.'

Six months after Sailor's birth, Bristol and Dakota surprised everyone by revealing they were married.

Dakota had first revealed he and Bristol were back together just days prior with a photo he posted on Facebook and Instagram, which showed her wearing a diamond ring.

'On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences,' Dakota wrote.

'On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma.

'So, which is it? Let the Light decide, or never give up? The answer is: both.'

Over the course of their marriage, both Bristol and Dakota frequently shared photos of themselves on social media while gushing about their love for each other.

However, they haven't been pictured together in over two months, since Bristol posted an image of them enjoying Thanksgiving dinner with their children.

The also appeared to have taken their children to see Santa Claus together in early December, but Bristol wasn't featured in any of the pictures she shared.

On January 7, Dakota posted a family portrait that was taken a few months prior, writing: 'What matters.'

Before it was revealed that Dakota had filed for divorce, he was suspiciously absent from tribute Bristol posted on Instagram on February 9 in honor of Atlee turning nine months old.
