"My husband is, like, an awesome father," the How to Make it in America alum told Baby Center. "We co-parent. We both are doing it."

"Healthy male role models are so important to girls growing up," the artist explained to the outlet. "I want to be the best husband and dad I can be so she doesn't grow up dating s—y guys. I never talk down to her."

 

Even though the couple is no longer together, they are clearly committed to being the best parents they can be for their kids.
