“It comes down to co-parenting and being there for Bentley and being there for the kids,” Conner told Us. “I just feel like she really respects that. I don’t give her a hard time. I want to see Ryan be a dad, and I want to see him co-parent with Maci.” She went on to talk about how they all do things together as a family. “It makes everything easier,” she said. “We get along. We hang out. We are actually doing family things that families are supposed to be doing. It just makes it a lot easier, and I feel like she appreciates that.”
