The friendly exes have been spotted out and about with their two children, Monroe and Moroccan, lately, reuniting for a trip to Disneyland and to celebrate the twins’ sixth birthday. But earlier this week, the famous duo told “Entertainment Tonight” that they’re just doing what’s best for their kids.

“We’re together when it counts,”Carey said. “We’re together for the kids. And I think that’s the most important thing.”

“It’s so perfect right now. Honestly, I’m working on being the best me that I can possibly be, and from that, I’m working on being the best father that I can be, and that’s a plate full right there,” Cannon echoed. “I love her, I adore her, that’s always going to be my dream girl, but I think as mature adults, I think we just operate better with the way things are right now.”

In addition to being dad to the twins, Cannon welcomed son Golden, 9 weeks, in late February, whom he shares with former Miss Arizona U.S.A. Brittany Bell.
