It appears that Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster have reached that sweet spot in their co-parenting partnership where the past begins t matter less and a friendship starts to blossom from the rubble of a broken union.

In honor of the singer’s forty-first birthday, Foster, shared a candid image of herself posing with the birthday boy with a message, which reads:

“Happy Birthday Ush @usher … Please enjoy this trip around the sun! Many don’t realize that it’s always love even when it looks like hate and that you will forever remain in my soul circle… Anyway as long as you get it. Framily Forever. and yes buddy you’re slowly but surely catching up #MeetTheParents #BestMistake #Grownish #CoParenting #ThankGodForYourBarber.”

Fans wasted no time commending Foster for her maturity and ability to maintain a positive relationship with the father of her children despite their issues from the past.

“And this is a grown woman post. I tip my hat to you,” one commenter wrote.

“Yes girl.. you gave him a beautiful family,” another chimed in.

We’re definitely not surprised by fan reactions to Tameka’s post. It’s refreshing to see co-parents who are capable of establishing a loving friendship — especially considering all that Tameka and Usher have been through in the past.

As you’ll recall, the pair tied the knot in 2007 and went through a tumultuous divorce in 2009. During their union, they welcomed two sons, Usher V and Naviyd. Their marriage was marred by infidelity and their divorce, made famous by the bitter custody battle that followed. We’re glad to see the two in such a positive place.
