She emphasized that remembering everyone is human is crucial, and that prioritizing the children’s needs and making sure everyone feels accepted and loved is what truly matters.

The 42-year-old explained that everyone is simply trying their best to improve and be a good role model, especially for their kids.

KORA Organics founder Miranda Kerr and singer Katy Perry have a close relationship that goes beyond simply co-parenting their daughter, Daisy Dove, 5 (with Katy’s ex, Orlando Bloom). Miranda, who also has three sons – Hart, 7, Myles, 6, and Pierre, 19 months – with her husband Evan Spiegel, was one of the first people Katy contacted after her trip to space on Blue Origin in April.

I asked her how she was doing, and she said the experience had been really intense. I just wanted to make sure she was okay and relieved to see she wasn’t hurt. I really care about her.

Also, the source shared that Katy and Orlando remain friends with each other, even after confirming their split last July following nine years together.

Miranda, who was married to Orlando from 2010 to 2013, recently saw both him and Katy Perry. She mentioned on the Kyle and Jackie-O Show on September 3rd that she spent time with them over the weekend and even has a photo to prove it. She described the moment as sweet, explaining that she and Katy were chatting with Orlando when someone suggested taking a picture together.

She chuckled and added, “Katy sent me a picture of Orlando with both of his exes – me and Katy – and we were all smiling. It was surprisingly nice, like we were one big, happy family.”

He emphasizes the need to choose your battles, acknowledging that disagreements led to the separation in the first place, and that co-parenting requires a different approach than the relationship they once had.

As Gwyneth explained on *The Drew Barrymore Show* in 2020, they prioritized their children, Apple and Moses, even when it was difficult. “Some days, you really don’t want to be with the person you’re divorcing,” she said. “But if you’re committed to family dinner, you do it. You take a deep breath, make eye contact, remember your agreement, smile, hug, and make a joke. You recommit to building a new relationship.”

The Goop founder emphasized that she and Martin will always remain a family. “That’s how it will be forever,” she said. “We have good days and bad days, but we’re working towards unity, love, and what’s best for the kids. Just because a relationship ends doesn’t mean you stop loving the qualities you once cherished in that person.”

She feels it allows them to experience different perspectives and learn from two different worlds.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve always admired couples who prioritize their children, even after a relationship changes. That’s definitely the case with Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik. While they split in 2021, they’ve really stepped up as co-parents for their daughter, Khai. Zayn shared that they have a genuinely good relationship for Khai’s sake, and she’s always their priority – and that’s wonderful to see! Gigi has echoed that sentiment, emphasizing how important it is to keep a child’s happiness at the heart of everything, because you’ll be connected to your co-parent for a long time. She also expressed how happy she is that Khai gets to have a relationship with both of her parents, and honestly, that’s the ultimate goal for any co-parenting situation.

Khloe explained to *tmrw* that it’s hard to be friendly with someone you’re angry at, particularly in front of their kids. She’s learned to manage her emotions and avoid impulsive reactions she might later regret. Ultimately, she prioritizes being a kind person.

Khloe wants her children to have a strong bond with Tristan, who also has a son, Prince, with Jordan Craig, and another son, Theo, with Maralee Nichols. She believes that if a father wants to be involved in his children’s lives, she shouldn’t stand in the way.

Although Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr separated in 2013, they continue to successfully co-parent their son, Flynn. This includes a positive relationship with both of their current partners: Katy Perry, Orlando’s partner, and Evan Spiegel, Miranda’s husband.

Miranda has spoken fondly of Katy, expressing her happiness that Orlando has found love. She emphasized that the happiness of Flynn’s parents is the most important thing. She’s also grateful to have found her own happiness with Evan.

Despite busy schedules and growing families – Orlando and Katy now have a daughter named Daisy Dove, while Miranda and Evan share three sons, Hart, Myles, and Pierre – they all make an effort to come together for important occasions. Miranda explained that they prioritize Flynn’s well-being and find compromises that work for the entire family, always focusing on what’s best for him.

Kate Hudson believes it’s important to maintain friendly relationships with her exes, Chris Robinson and Matt Bellamy, unlike some who let those bonds fade. She explained to The Sunday Times in 2022 that she and Chris simply check in with each other periodically, as they co-parent their son Ryder.

She also praised Matt Bellamy, father of her son Bingham, calling him a “wonderful” co-parent. Kate believes that love doesn’t disappear just because a romantic relationship ends, and that it’s possible to build a different kind of loving connection focused on their child.

Kate is also a mother to daughter Rani, with her fiancé Danny Fujikawa. She feels her family setup, though unconventional, is incredibly strong. “It might not look traditional from the outside, but on the inside I feel like we’re killing it,” she said. “The unit that I’ve created with three children with three different fathers is a seriously strong unit, and it’s ours.”

Okay, so I’m totally obsessed with Anna Faris and I’ve been following her and Chris Pratt’s co-parenting situation for *years*. It used to seem so strained, but honestly, it’s amazing to hear how things have changed! Anna said they’re actually getting *closer* – her, Chris, and Katherine Schwarzenegger! Can you believe it? She told *People* that they’re all really supportive of each other, and she appreciates how protective they are of her, and vice versa. She even called Katherine ‘awesome’! Apparently, Katherine is just so great with Jack, their son, and Anna loves how she handles everything. It’s just so heartwarming to see them making it work! Anna said it feels *so* much easier now that time has passed, and that she finally doesn’t have that awful, churning feeling inside anymore. And honestly, knowing they’re all happy makes *me* happy! It’s just a really beautiful blended family situation, and I’m so glad they’ve found a way to make it work, especially with Anna now happily married to Michael Barrett.

It’s helpful when parents who share custody can agree on things, and Mel B says it wasn’t easy for her and Eddie Murphy to build that kind of connection at first.

Mel B, of the Spice Girls, explained that past trauma and controlling behavior made it difficult to build a strong relationship with Eddie Murphy. She shared with Us Weekly in May 2025 that she gradually managed to improve things. However, she also noted that their friendship has actually grown stronger in recent years, especially since their daughter, Angel, is now able to spend time with Murphy and his other children. Mel B praised Murphy as a dedicated father, mentioning he has ten children and they often enjoy holidays together.

Even though the TV show *The O.C.* was known for its drama, Rachel Bilson and her ex-partner Hayden Christensen have a positive co-parenting relationship.
