These famous women successfully co-parent

Both actresses are linked to actor Ben Affleck. Jennifer Lopez told Vogue in its December issue that Jennifer Garner is "an amazing co-parent, and they [Garner and Ben Affleck] work really well together." They are raising three children together: Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.

Drew Barrymore and her ex-husband Will Kopelman both live in New York City, making it easier for their children to live together. In October, they went door-to-door together with Kopelman's new wife, Alexandra Michler, whom Barrymore calls "my daughters' wonderful stepmother."

Juggling co-parenting with an ex is enough, but actress Kate Hudson shares her teenage son with ex Chris Robinson and her preteen son with ex Matt Bellamy, while raising a preschooler with fiancé Danny Fujikawa. "It may not look traditional from the outside, but on the inside, I feel like we're getting everything right," Hudson recently told British publication The Sunday Times. "The unit I've created with three children from three different fathers is a seriously strong unit, and it's ours."

Kate Winslet is the same: she has an adult daughter with her first husband, Jim Threapleton, a teenage son with her second husband, Sam Mendes, and a school-age son with Ned Rocknroll (real name Edward Abel Smith). Winslet makes the rules that work for her family. She's been honest about not sharing custody of her children - they stay with her and she's been criticized for it - but she says they all have a great relationship with their father. "I think at the end of the day, there's no rule book, no manual," Winslet recently told British Vogue about raising her children.

Gwyneth Paltrow and rocker Chris Martin said they were "consciously uncoupling": "It's like ending a marriage, but staying in a family. That's how it's going to be forever," Paltrow said on the Drew Barrymore show.

It's too early to tell how model Gisele Bündchen and NFL quarterback Tom Brady will fare with shared custody, but it's easy to see their hearts are in the right place. "My priority has always been and will continue to be our children, whom I love with all my heart. We will continue to share custody to give them the love, care and attention they deserve," the supermodel wrote when their divorce was announced in October.

Kristin Cavallari separated at the start of the pandemic, but both she and her ex continue to live in Nashville and co-parent two sons and a daughter, all under the age of 10. According to US magazine, they split physical custody of the children in half, with each parent having custody of the children 182.5 days a year. Stylist and reality TV star Kristin Cavallari and retired NFL player Jay Cutler will split the shared custody vacations based on odd and even years, a fairly common scenario.
