Co-parenting is never easy, and this is true whether one is a normal person or a celebrity.
According to Huffpost, experts were able to summarize the issues co-parents had and were able to break them down in seven items - talking badly about the other parent, kids' bedtimes, changes in schedule, relinquishing control, uncooperative exes, lack of consistency, and listening without judgment.
Most, if not all, of these issues are faced in co-parenting. Regardless of one's stature and circumstance, the emotional fatigue and journey experienced by normal people and celebrities are the same, as well as the desire for healing and moving forward, and giving the children the best despite the separation of their parents.
Celebrity moms that are killing it
Here's a list created by Scary Mommy of celebrity moms who are reported, based on their interviews and social media posts, to be "killing it" when it comes to co-parenting.
1. Tia Mowry
Mowry and soon to be-ex-husband Cory Hardrict filed for divorce in October last year, and yet they have been a "united front" for their kids Cree and Cairo. In fact they reunited over the holidays to celebrate as a family.
Mowry stated in an interview that she and Hardrict not only talk to each other daily but also tell each other every day that they love each other, knowing that both will always be part of the family and their children's lives.
2. Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner
Lopez shared to Vogue's December issue last year that Garner, the ex-wife of her now husband Ben Affleck , is "an amazing co-parent," with Garner and Affleck really working well together as co-parents. Moreover, both these Jennifers are committed to stay in the same city, which is Los Angeles, so that the kids would not need to keep on flying between two homes.
3. Drew Barrymore
The actress and ex-husband Will Kopelman also live in the same city, in this case, New York, so that the co-parenting shuffle will be easier for the kids. Barrymore calls Kopelman's new wife, Alexandra Michler, as "my daughters' wonderful stepmother."
Barrymore also mentioned in her talk show that she keeps things in perspective and chooses the high road when it comes to co-parenting, acknowledging that both exes can never not be together because they will always have the kids.
4. Kate Hudson
This one hot tough mama isn't only juggling co-parenting with one ex-husband but two, plus raising another child with her fiancé Danny Fujikawa. Hudson shares her teen son with Chris Robinson and her preteen son with Matt Bellamy. The actress even proudly admitted that though their family may look unconventional from the outside but on the inside, she feels like they are "killing it," with the strong unit that they have created.
5. Kate Winslet
Same with above's Kate, this actress is co-parenting two kids with her two ex-husbands while also raising a school-age son in her current relationship. She co-parents a grown daughter with first husband, Jim Threapleton and a teen son with second husband, Sam Mendes.
Winslet has been honest right from the start that she does not share custody. Her children stay with her, yet regardless, she is proud that the kids and their fathers have great relationships.
