DJ Zinhle and AKA share a daughter together, Kairo Forbes, and although things did go sour between them in the past, they are co-parenting with ease. They have both moved on to have healthy relationships with other people, but still maintain a healthy and almost-drama free co-parenting relationship.
The Umlilo hitmaker was on Instagram live just recently to give the 411 on how healthy co-parenting relationships come into fruitation. She is currently traditionally married to her second baby daddy, Murdah Bongz and have a daughter together, Asante Mohosana. AKA on the other had almost walked down the aisle with his late fiancée Nelli Tembe but has since found love again with Nadia Nakai.
Being in the public eye makes them vulnerable to criticism. Anything they do gets criticised but they stick to their guns and ensure a healthy co-parent relationship.
When quizzed by her followers on how does she ensure things go smoothly between her baby daddy, Zinhle responded by advising them to get over their ex. This means, mothers should remove themselves from that 'situation' and focus on being just that, a mother.
“You have to get over yourself. Get over the guy," she saif on Instagram as quoted by TshisaLive. "If you hate him, get over it. You have to do this thing for the children. Remove yourself and your things from the situation,” she continued.
“Some people are difficult to co-parent with but you need to be a few steps ahead,” she added.
Zinhle never shied away from putting the trolls in their places whenever they come for her family. When she posted AKA for Father's Day there was an uproar on social media.
"May you remember your own advice when you face the same difficulties/situation that you judge others on," she tweeted.

AKA did the same for Mother's Day but and he too told trolls to back off, "Those that say they don't see anything wrong with their boyfriends posting their baby mama's amaze me, lmao I'd perish," the woman said. AKA clapped back and said, "It’s called … maturity. Being an adult. Try it. It’s lit."
What rubs trolls the wrong way though is the way everyone gets along with each other. Nadia Nakai recently spoke in an interview about how she looks up to DJ Zinhle and has been for a very long time.
adia Nakai told OKMzansi that she has and always looked up to DJ Zinhle, even before both of them got involved with AKA.
"I've always respected her as an artist, as a mom, as a businesswoman. She's somebody that I look up to and I've always looked up to even after Kiernan...So walking into this situation she really made me feel comfortable. I did not feel that weird energy from her like, 'Oh my gosh, I don't like being around you,' she told the blog.
"She really embraced me which then also made me become comfortable. Kiernan set the precedence for both of us to make me feel comfortable as his girlfriend and not make me feel weirded out by my situation. He really was cognizant in making sure I feel comfortable," she added.
