"Amanda and I are close... I talk to her every day," he tells OK! Magazine. "She's a sweetheart. I had lunch with her yesterday, and she's brilliant. She's good, and she's healthy... She's in a place right now where she is searching. She's ready to be her own person, and do her own ...

The 26 year old did not respond to the lawsuit, so a Los Angeles judge issued a default judgment in court this week - and ruled in Fields' favor....
