15 Things the Kardashian-Jenners Have Said About Co-Parenting

When it comes to co-parenting with an ex, there are few celebrity moms who know how to do it better than the ones in the Kardashian-Jenner family. Over the years, we've seen Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick become the poster parents for healthy co-parenting (which has even included family vacations with their kids and their current partners) and over time, Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have also joined their ranks — though it seems like co-parenting worked so well for them that they might just be back together.

Eventually, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott had to figure out how to parent Stormi after their relationship ended, and of course, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have been on the co-parenting train practically since their daughter, Dream, was born. And now, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will be joining their ranks. After officially filing for divorce, Kim will be sharing custody of North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm with her now ex, and fortunately, she has plenty of people in her own family she can turn to for advice.

Here's what the Kardashian-Jenners have said about co-parenting. It's not always easy, but it's worth it.

Kylie & Travis Are 'Connected'

Although their relationship has been a bit murky since 2019, Kylie and Travis are still making it happen when it comes to Stormi, and as she told Harper's Bazaar in March 2020, they're "best friends" with the same goal.

“We both love Stormi and want what’s best for her," she said. "We stay connected and coordinated. I think about my parents, in situations with Stormi, what they would do. They were very hands-on with me, and I want the same for Stormi.”

Khloé on Blended Family Life

Things between Khloé and ex Tristan Thompson haven't always been great, but even when they weren't together, it was still natural to her to spend time with him and True as a family.

"I come from a family that, you know, my mom and my dad they would have dinner once a week," she explained to E!'s Daily Pop in July 2020. "And my stepdad and my dad would play golf once a week together. So, I come from a family that … just because people aren't together doesn't mean you have to be rude or they're out of your life."

Khloé on How Helpful Tristan Is

In the same interview, Khloé shared how much she can rely on Tristan no matter what, especially while they were in lockdown in 2020.

"You know, when you can't rely on so many other people's help, it's so great that you have like, essentially he's your partner, he's True's dad. And I need his help more now," she said.

Scott on Keeping the Kids Out of It

In a video he and Kourtney filmed for her lifestyle site, Poosh, the former couple discussed how they're still really close even though they're no longer romantically involved. Scott pointed out how important it is to him to make sure their kids don't suffer because their relationship didn't work out.

"I'm not gonna make our kids miss out on things just because we couldn't figure out how to be a couple," he said. "And by the way, I don't think people will be able to live their lives if they do it that way maybe, so it's not our [place] to tell other people how they wanna live."

Scott on Being on the Same Team

"I think at the end of that day that you and I realize that we're both on the same team," Scott said in the same interview. "We have these children, we're not looking to hurt each other. There is gonna be these obstacles in our life that will always come up. But at the end of the day we can always call each other and we always do work it out somehow."

Kourtney on How Easy Co-Parenting Is

According to what Kourtney told You magazine in 2016 (via E! Online), she and Scott found that communication is key.

"I find co-parenting really easy," she said. "Scott and I communicate all the time. You have to keep discussing what's going on because as the children grow older, the rules need to be renegotiated."

Khloé on Trust

During an appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show, Khloé shared that Tristan trusting her as a mom is central to how well they've been able to co-parent.

“Tristan is so great and really trusts me as a mom and knows I’m always gonna do the right thing for True, so he really doesn’t tell me ‘no’ a lot of the times,” Khloé said. “I’m grateful for that. I think as moms, we sort of feel like we have the right and know what we’re doing with our kids.”

Rob on Sharing Dream With Blac Chyna

The drama between Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna has been rough over the years, but they've managed to make it work for Dream. In February 2019, Rob did confirm on Twitter that he and Chyna are co-parenting, and she followed it up with an encouraging tweet of her own.

"Robert and I only concern is what’s in the best interest of our daughter that we both equally love," she said at the time. "Additionally, Robert is a wonderful father to our Dreamy!"

Scott on Being Good to Each Other

In an interview with Us Weekly, Scott shared that raising his kids with Kourtney is a priority to him, regardless of what might have happened in the past.

"They don’t deserve our mistakes, so we figured out a way," he said. "We still need to be as honest and as good to each other as if we were together. Let’s raise these children together and that’s it.”

Khloé Praising Her Sister

When Kourtney was spotted on vacation with Scott, his then-girlfriend Sofia Richie, and their kids, Khloé took to Instagram to share her feelings, writing that they were doing co-parenting the right way and all acting like adults about the situation. Getting that kind of praise must feel good!

Kourtney on Scott Being a Part of Her Family

In a 2016 interview with Cosmopolitan, Kourtney explained why it's not weird that Scott is still considered a part of her extended family even though they are no longer together.

"He doesn't have a mom and dad anymore — or siblings. He's an only child. So they're his family too," she said. "They're in the loop if I am annoyed at him but if he needs to talk to them, I think it's only beneficial to us keeping a good relationship."

Kourtney on Living So Close to Scott

In the same interview, Kourtney discussed the perks of living so close to her ex.

"He pretty much comes here every day," she said. "Last night, he came over and watched a movie with Mason. North was here, Kim was here. But, like, this house, everyone's in and out. I'll come home and Kim will be hanging out at the kitchen table having lunch with North, Penelope, and all the kids. I'm like, 'Oh, I didn't know you were even here!'"

Khloé on Not Putting True in the Middle

When one fan hinted that True only needed her mom, Khloé replied with a tweet that set the record straight, sharing that despite what might have happened between them in the past, Tristan is a good dad to her and they would never put their daughter in the middle of their problems.

Kylie on Her Friendship With Travis

After fans speculated that Travis and Kylie were back together shortly after they split, she took to Twitter to clarify that nothing romantic was going on — they were just keeping their friendship alive in order to be able to parent Stormi together the best way possible.

Khloé on the Challenges of Co-Parenting

It hasn't always been easy for Khloé to share True with Tristan, and in a 2020 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, she admitted that co-parenting wasn't without its challenges.

"To co-parent is a different beast, probably the hardest thing I’ve had to figure out,” she said on the show. “Like, ‘This is my baby, why are you telling me what to do?’ You forget it’s both of your baby.”
