Kathryn Dennis' ex-boyfriend, Thomas Ravenel, wants to co-parent.

Although the Southern Charm couple has been at odds for several months following their latest split, a friend of Ravenel's claims he has no intentions of cutting her out of their children's lives.

“As much as Thomas has had issues with Kathryn, he respects that she is the mother of his children. He is in no way, shape, or form trying to defame her or make her look bad, regardless of what reports about her have surfaced in recent weeks,” Ravenel's friend told Real Mr. Housewife on Monday.

“Unfortunately, though,” the friend continued, “Kathryn has tried to make him look bad, even going as far as trying to perpetuate he’s held up trying to pay her for child support... This couldn’t be further from the truth, as Thomas wants nothing more than the issues the pair have to go away so they can effectively co-parent. His lawyers have reached out to Kathryn’s asking what they want in terms of child support, but their side never seems able to finalize or describe what they want.”

“In addition,” his friend added, “Kathryn trying to put out there that Thomas hasn’t tried to see his children is a lie, as they have a no contact order, so he can’t reach out to her. As is evidenced by his social media, he clearly sees his children and enjoys spending time with them and taking them out to experience the world.”

“Again, all Thomas wants is to effectively co-parent with Kathryn," the friend explained. "He did not have a healthy relationship with her as a couple, but truly hopes in his heart he can have a healthy relationship with her as a co-parent, as he feels this is what is best for his children, whom he cares for deeply.”
