Celebrities, they’re just like us, right? When relationships end, and children are involved, it’s up to the parents to set the tone for a new family dynamic.

From Ari Fletcher and G Herbo to Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker and even Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict, here’s a list of celebrities putting their kids first and how it’s paying off.

Ari, G Herbo, Taina Williams & Moneybagg Yo Shine With Blended Family Co-Parenting
Ari Fletcher and G Herbo reached a turning point in their co-parenting relationship late last year when the beauty entrepreneur and Taina Williams made amends. This came after years of tension, especially in 2022. That year, Fletcher dragged Williams on the internet, calling her abusive after Yosohn accused his stepmother of hitting him with a pillow and not helping him off the ground.
But last December, the’Remedy by Ari’ founder shocked fans when videos showed her partying with Taina and Herbo in the club, even hugging at some points. That same month, Ari clarified that she and Taina resolved their beef themselves, like “two grown a** women.” In January of this year, they cleared the air again in public on Ari’s YouTube cooking show. That month, Herbo also took accountability for the pillow fiasco. By April, Taina and her kids, Emmy and Essex, were in the Bahamas celebrating Yosohn’s 7th birthday together.
And the good times have continued rolling! From more outings to to Ari and G Herbo supporting Yosohn’s rapping debut, to the rapper and Ari’s boyfriend, Moneybagg Yo, releasing a joint track, ‘Feet On Land.’ Most recently, Herb opened up about Moneybagg being “just family,” no “blended” needed.

Kandi Burruss & Todd Tucker Didn’t Let Divorce Spoil Thanksgiving
It’s only been a week since Kandi Burruss filed for divorce from Todd Tucker. Fans still have no idea what happened to cause the end of the couple’s 11-year marriage. They have two children together, a son named Ace and a daughter named Blaze.
Last weekend, during an Amazon Live event, she admitted that she’s been feeling up and down since submitting the petition. However, the split is something that’s been “brewing for a while,” the singer said. Adding, “Sometimes things just don’t work out. It just is what it is.”
Still, Kandi said during the livestream that she and Todd planned to spend Thanksgiving together to help their nine and six-year-old kids cope with the change. No word yet on how they’ll handle the custody split. In fact, Todd hasn’t publicly spoken about the divorce.
“We are parents together. We are co-parenting together,” Kandi Burruss said on Amazon Live. “We have beautiful children together, so we are trying to make this transition as smooth as it could possibly be for our kids. That is our main concern. We are keeping it very friendly.”
On Thanksgiving day, Kandi posted a family portrait and video with no Todd Tucker in sight. As fans flooded her comment section with questions, she slid in to clear the air about her estranged husband.
“Before anyone assumes anything Todd came earlier to eat with us but he wasn’t there for the pic. He was not left out or anything like that,” Burruss clarified.
Tia Mowry & Cory Hardrict Love A Family Portrait
And do! Tia Mowry gagged fans when she announced her separation from Cory Hardrict in October 2022 after 14 years of marriage. Six months later, in April, they finalized the divorce. Specifics of the split, including property rights and support, were not revealed to the public. However, according to PEOPLE, the couple agreed to share legal and physical custody of their children, Cree and Cairo. Additionally, they reportedly agreed to terminate any spousal support, per their prenups.
Following their split, Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict have also kept their words gentle, while speaking about each other to the press or on social media. Last year September, Hardrict revealed on ‘The Pivot Podcast’ that “everything is about the kids…in co-parenting.” He added that they were “still keeping God first at the center of everything and just walking with love.”
“I just know where my heart is at and I have to continue to move that way because I want all my blessings and… if I succeed, she succeeds, our kids succeed,” Cory Hardrict said.
