As for their co-parenting, the insider stated, “It was Ben’s idea to be open and let it flow.” “Jennifer loves being in charge; she felt it was a little too lax, but now that she looks back, Jen says it was a wise choice. It’s impossible to hide who your ex is seeing. Especially if you’re in the industry.”
