Chyna, 38, initiated the call while streaming to her audience, prompting Kardashian, 39, to greet her viewers with a friendly “yo yo, hi stream,” adding a sprinkle of humour to the moment. The conversation quickly turned to their daughter, with Chyna addressing questions from her viewers about Dream’s whereabouts. “She’s in bed,” Chyna responded, indicating that Dream, preparing for school, was already tucked in for the night.
In a light-hearted exchange, Kardashian confirmed that he would be taking care of Dream for the weekend. Chyna expressed her gratitude, saying, “Yay, thank you! I appreciate you.” The two then shared plans for a pumpkin-painting activity, a reflection of their joint commitment to making joyful memories for their daughter. Chyna playfully requested Kardashian to ensure the pumpkin was adorned with piercings and styled with long nails, conversations that highlighted their amicable rapport as co-parents.
Following the call, Chyna shared the delightful interaction on her Instagram, expressing her gratitude to Kardashian for his support. This moment stood in stark contrast to the tumultuous past the couple has endured since their split in 2017.
The relationship between Chyna and Kardashian has transformed significantly over the years. Following their engagement in 2016 and the birth of Dream just months later, their public breakup led to extensive conflict, including a defamation lawsuit filed by Chyna against Kardashian’s family. However, sources indicate that the former couple has made strides in improving their relationship since then.
In an interview earlier this year, Chyna revealed what she believes to be the cornerstone of effective co-parenting: communication. She emphasised the importance of maintaining a respectful distance while ensuring open lines of dialogue, stating, “You have to kind of mind your own business in the sense of continuing to do what you do, because you can’t look and try to figure out what the other parent is doing.” This approach, coupled with her enjoyable relationships with both Kardashian and her other ex, Tyga, has contributed to a more harmonious co-parenting environment.
A source who spoke to PEOPLE reflected on the positive transformations in Chyna and Kardashian’s relationship, noting that they are now “on good terms” and that their interactions have become “surprisingly peaceful.” Insiders suggest that both individuals have matured significantly since their split, choosing to prioritize their daughter’s well-being above personal grievances.
This shift towards a more cooperative partnership has enabled the couple to focus on shared responsibilities and experiences, fostering a nurturing environment for Dream. As they navigate the complexities of co-parenting, their evolving relationship offers a model for others facing similar challenges, demonstrating that mutual respect and open communication can lead to a healthier family dynamic.
Looking ahead, their commitment to creating joyful experiences, like the upcoming pumpkin painting session, reflects a dedication to Dream’s happiness. By sharing responsibilities and working together, Chyna and Kardashian not only reaffirm their roles as parents, but also serve as a testament to the possibility of amicable co-parenting, even in the face of past conflicts.
As their journey continues, both Chyna and Kardashian remain focused on nurturing their daughter and fostering a supportive environment that benefits Dream’s growth and happiness. With a fresh perspective and a collaborative spirit, the former couple looks poised to navigate the challenges of co-parenting while reinforcing their positive relationship as co-parents.
