Why It's So "Natural and Easy" for Brandon Jenner to Co-Parent with His Ex Leah Felder
The former couple have stayed on the same page when it comes to their daughter, Eva.
Brandon Jenner split from Leah Felder, his wife of six years, back in September, but it sounds like the former couple has already come to an accord about co-parenting.
“I do what I can to invest time in the three of us, because there’s nothing that’s more like home to our daughter than the three of us being together,” Brandon explained to Us Weekly about their daughter, Eva, 3. “I’m sure it’s more difficult for other people, [but] for us it’s pretty good and natural and easy because we’re just really good friends first. We were friends before we were a couple and so now that we’re back to being friends, we’re able to do this [because] it’s familiar.”
He even recently gave Felder a sweet social media shout-out: "Happy Mother’s Day to the two most incredible mothers I know," tagging his mom and his ex (scroll for second pic below).
Brandon isn't in touch regularly with Kim Kardashian these days since his father, Caitlyn Jenner, is no longer married to Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, but he told the publication he's sure she and her husband, Kanye West, are "over the moon" about their fourth child, who was just born via surrogate.
“I know what that’s like, having a child of my own,” he said. “It’s a sacred time.”
Both Brandon and Felder announced their September breakup via a thoughtful written post on Instagram.
"After celebrating fourteen beautiful years together, we have lovingly come to the decision to end the romantic aspect of our relationship," they wrote. "We are deeply proud of the life we’ve cultivated together and are truly grateful for the bond of friendship we hold and cherish today. It is stronger than ever. Even though we have chosen to separate as a couple, we still love one another very, very much and remain a major part of each other’s lives — as best friends, family and loving parents to our daughter. There has been no lying or cheating or fighting that prompted this change, just an expansion of our individual evolution which has inspired us to support each other in a new way. We are still, very much, a loving family and are bonded by a deep connection that is rooted in love.”
