The idea of co-parenting can be difficult for some but Real Housewives of Atlanta (RHOA) star, Cynthia Bailey, her ex and father of her daughter, actor Leon, show that it definitely can be done with grace and style. The two each shared Instagram photos, acknowledging and celebrating the birthday of Bailey's husband, Peter Thomas, together as a family, showing there's no bitterness and it's all love.

RHOA star Peter Thomas celebrated his birthday on Thursday Oct. 1 and the celebration of life didn't just include his wife, Cynthia Bailey, but also her ex, actor Leon Robinson, who showed that there's nothing but love between the two men.

The post shows that even though he and Bailey are no longer together, he still has love and respect for she, her husband and their union. Bailey and Leon share a daughter together, Noelle, who, according to Madame Noire, just turned sweet 16 in June. Robinson is not the only one who expressed their birthday wishes to Thomas via Instagram. Bailey also posted a sentimental message to her husband of five years.

The beautiful couple has suffered their fair share of hardships in their relationship as displayed on past seasons of RHOA. Most recently, the model and founder of The Bailey Agency, suffered public humiliation after a video surfaced online of Thomas' inappropriate behavior with another woman, who may have gotten a little too close to her husband according to US Magazine. According to the site, Thomas can be seen in the video appearing to be kissing another woman's cheek, but as it turns out, he was only talking closely with her at his bar, Bar One, in Atlanta. The clip sparked rumors of his infidelity and prompted Bailey to speak out about their marriage. "My marriage is not perfect," Bailey tells US. "We're going to deal with this issue as husband and wife."

Thomas also responded to the cheating allegations, "That's not what it is," Thomas explained. That's a friend of mine at a club that I was talking to. Looks crazy, I know it does, so I'm apologizing to my wife. I'm apologizing to my two beautiful daughters...daddy's not a cheater."

From the looks of it, the two may have worked out their differences and as stated in her post, "what's meant to be will always find a way."

In the meantime, all Thomas wants to do for his birthday is get turned up the whole weekend as he stated in his own birthday post to himself.

 IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, TURN ALL THE WAY UP.
