“Me ex-wife Mandy and I, we have a different and than a lot people that co-parent,” he said. “Our daughter is 17 so it’s also different than if she were five. For the entire duration her life, we have co-parented as best friends. We’ve also lived seven minutes away from each other at the most. Right now, we live virtually next door to each other so our quarantining is a little different. We quarantine between both our homes and I’ve got a big backyard and lots land, so we share this land and this space.”

Brady went on to say that his daughter, his ex-wife, and his ex-wife’s boyfriend are all a family so they naturally share resources and space. “This new nuclear family… Family is everything to me, so moments like this bring you closer,” he said. “So, we’ve been doing TikToks, we’ve been playing board games, we played Spades, Hearts. We’ve been in my studio writing songs, we sing together and freestyling, walking the dogs up the canyon up the street.” He added that they’re taking advantage this “time out” to strengthen their bond as a family.
