Alan Halsall, 37, and Lucy-Jo Hudson, 36, announced they were getting a divorce last year after tying the knot in 2005. The two have since moved on with new partners and Lucy is now pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Lewis Devine.
The Coronation Street actress, who played Katy Harris in the ITV soap, admitted co-parenting with her ex-husband Alan has its “challenges” but said they make it work.
Speaking about working together as parents, Lucy-Jo told this week’s issue of OK! Magazine: “It has its challenges and it can be difficult with everyone’s schedules but you make it work for the child involved.
“I’m happy Sienna has a male and female role model on both sides.”
She said: “She had more people to love her, and as long as Sienna’s happy, that’s all that matters to me.”

Lucy-Jo’s partner, Lewis, 32, said he was “nervous” at the start as he took on the role of being a stepfather to Sienna.
“I was nervous but I just didn’t try to push anything with Sienna,” he admitted.
“I just wanted to be me and for our relationship to grow naturally. I think that’s why we do have such a great bond.
“Sienna is such a fantastic little girl and she’s a credit to Lucy and to her dad, Alan.”
Lucy-Jo praised: “Lew has been amazing and he would never try take over Alan’s role as dad, but he’s an amazing role model for her. Sienna idolises him.”
Lucy-Jo and Lewis, who met on the set of pantomime Snow White And The Seven Swarfs in 2017 and went public with their relationship last year, are expecting a baby boy in February.
Elsewhere, Alan is in a relationship with his former Coronation Street co-star Tisha Merry, after the pair sparked rumours of a romance back in February.
The Tyrone Dobbs actor previously spilled he felt under pressure to propose to his partner during an interview with The Mirror.

He said: “The pressure is there from day one but we’ve not been together that long, so I think we’ll just enjoy ourselves for now.”
Tisha recently spoke about their relationship in a YouTube vlog and revealed how they’re in competition with each other to lose weight.
“Me and my boyfriend are kind of really competitive people,” she divulged. “We like games and we like to do challenges, we’re sporty.
“We’re in competition with each other 90 percent of the time, we love it.”

Tisha then showed a Gucci bag to the camera as she explained: “This bag was the prize if I won the challenge.
“I didn’t win the challenge, it was to get to our goal weight for holiday. I wanted to get fit, I wanted to get healthy.
“We had been eating c**p basically all month and Greece was coming up so I was like I have to get fit, go to the gym and eat healthy, just to feel good in general.”
Coronation Street airs tonight on ITV at 7.30pm.
