"When I was young and my dad passed, I remember my mom used to be like, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' And I used to be like, 'A dad,'" Davidson—whose firefighter father Scott Davidson died while responding to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001—shared on The Breakfast Club in August 2025. "I always wanted to be a dad because I felt so crappy, and I wanted to make sure that a kid didn’t feel that way or have to go through what I went through."

So, when he found out Hewitt was pregnant, he couldn’t have been more thrilled.

"It was so nice," he continued. "Because you know when you’re little, you’re like, 'I want to be an astronaut,' or 'I want to be' whatever. A lot of that stuff fizzled out, but I felt the exact excitement when I was little."

And once Scottie was born, the pair fully embraced the highs and lows of parenthood.

“I’m surprised by the fact that no matter how exhausted I am, I’m somehow ready at all times to do whatever this teeny little thing needs me to do,” Hewitt said in an interview with Parents published June 1. “My ability to keep going, that shift in my energy levels, it feels like a visceral and primal change within me compared to the way I used to operate.”

Though the Grammy winner and Swedish-Syrian artist called it quits in 2023, the pair continue to partner when it comes to their kidsLuciaandRenn.“We’ve actually had the most wonderful relationship,” Jwan toldAttitudein September 2025. “It’s a very solid and calm co-parenting situation. We live 10 minutes away from each other. We speak every other day. We love our kids so much.”He added, “It’s been an extremely lovely kind of experience. It’s not an experience—it’s a way of living.”Megan Fox & Brian Austin Green

Megan FoxandBrian Austin Greenhave a body of co-parenting experience. So theJennifer’s Bodystar and theBeverly Hills, 90210alum—who share kidsNoah,BodhiandJourney—try to follow a key rule."The number one,"Brian told E! News in April 2024, "is always make sure that everything is centered around the experience of the kids."Because as he put it, a breakup is “gonna affect the kids. The only choice you have ishowit affects the kids.” Part of that, Brian continued, is recognizing that it’s important to “pick your battles.”"The person that you were with that you're now separated from, you guys are separated for a reason," he added, "because you didn't get along. So, you can't expect to then get along after the fact in raising your kids. So, you have to decide, ‘OK, it's not about us getting along anymore. It's about us co-parenting, which is a totally different situation.'"Megan—whose divorce from Brian wasfinalizedin 2022 two years after thefiling—agrees."I think it's really important when people separate to never ever disparage the other parent or even in a passive aggressive way make remarks," theTransformersactress said on a 2023 episode ofThe Drew Barrymore Show. "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."Josh Duhamel & Fergie

Where is the love?Josh DuhamelandFergiecertainly have it for each other as co-parents."Fergie is an amazing woman.

Irina Shayk, who shares daughterLeawith exBradley Cooper,isn't a big fan of the terminology.“I never understood the term co-parenting,” the model toldELLEin 2021. “When I’m with my daughter, I’m 100 percent a mother, and when she’s with her dad, he’s 100 percent her dad. Co-parenting is parenting.”Though Irina and Bradleysplit in 2019after four years together, they've continued to stay on good terms.

But if you'recommitted to having family dinner, then you do it. And you take a deep breath, and you look the person in the eye, and you remember your pact, and you smile, and you hug, and you make a joke, and you just recommit to this new relationship that you're trying to foster.”And the Goop mogul noted she and the musician will always be family."That's how it will be forever," she continued. "Some days it's not as good as it looks. We also have good days and bad days. But I think it's driving towards the same purpose of unity and love and really what's best for them.

And they’re going to try to do what they want. And I can only control what I do.”And as Gisele put it, it’s all about balance.“Tom has time with them, and I have time with them,” she added, “which I think is amazing because they get to really experience—again, more-enriching for their lives—two different worlds, and they get to learn from two different worlds and that’s wonderful for them I think.”Tom also shed some light onhow the exes are on the same team."I'm trying to raise them—we all are, myself and their mom—in a very loving way toward one another," the athlete, who also shares sonJackwith exBridget Moynahan, told E!
