​Zayn Malik-Gigi Hadid to Ben Affleck-Jennifer Garner: Hollywood stars co-parenting children after divorce

Even after separating and filing for divorce, many celebrity couples have managed to keep a civil and united front for their children. From Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, there are many separated couples who continue to work with their ex partners to co-parent with their children despite their personal differences.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner

While the two of them are no longer a couple, they have opted to co-parent. They have two daughters, Willa and Delphine, both of whom they have kept away from the public eye to respect their privacy. While talking to ‘School of Greatness’ last year, Jonas weighed in on how his kids have some ‘incredible women to look up to,’ including their mother, Sophie Turner. He had cited that “We have a great co-parenting relationship, which is really important to me.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green

The couple, who have been separated for years now, also have a proper co-parenting plan and place with their three children; Noah, Bodhi and Journey. While talking to E! News in an old interview, the ‘Beverly Hills’ star had cited that everything they do is for their children. He had stated that there are certain rules they keep in mind, adding that “The number one is always make sure that everything is centered around the experience of the kids.” Megan Fox had talked about the same thing while starring on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’, where she had cited that “I don't let anything in my energy like that when I'm around my kids. Because if I don't accept and love their father, I'm rejecting a part of them because he's a part of who they are always. He's in their blood, and he's in their psyche, and they exist because of him.”

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid

The former One Direction singer and the model were the talk of the town for years before they parted ways in 2021. However, over the years, the two of them have kept up a strong and united front for the sake of their daughter, Khai, who was born only a year before their split. The two have equal custody over their daughter and have a co-parenting plan to see everything through. While talking on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ in an old interview, Malik had weighed in on their co-parenting aspect and had stated that “I have her 50 percent of the time, so that time I have with her is so important because I feel like she’s growing up so fast. So, when I’m with her, I don’t work at all.”

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

The ‘Marty Supreme’ actress and the Coldplay lead singer were together for years; however, they officially parted ways in July 2016, though they had announced their split two years before that. The two stars co-parented their children, Apple and Moses, and actively talked about it as well. In an old post on her account, Paltrow had stated that one reason behind their separation was the fact that they were no longer working together. However, the love and protectiveness that they felt for both of their children was mutual. She had written, “There was always a bit of unease and unrest. But man, did we love our children.”

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

The power couple, who had been together for 19 years, announced that they were separating last year, which had shocked everyone to the core. They share two daughters, Sunday Rose, their eldest, who also recently made her Met Gala debut with her mother, and Faith Margaret, their youngest. Following the divorce, it was reported by PEOPLE that the two of them have reached a conclusion and that they have created a proper co-parenting plan.

The couple was together for 10 years before they officially announced teir separation in 2019. Over the years, the two have maintained that their kids have been the topmost priority of their lives and that they are actively co-parenting and managing everything. While talking about his relationship with Fergie on ‘The Jess Cagle Show’, Josh had stated that she was an amazing woman, and that she was an active part of his life. The two share their only son, Axl, however, Duhamel remarried model Audra Mari and had two children, Shepherd and Rocca.
