Be still our hearts because Erykah Badu and Andre 3000 just took another epic photo that’s leaving us feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

The R&B singer and Outkast rapper took a rare photo together along with their 20-year-old son, Seven, in honor of Mother’s Day.

The former couple famously started dating in the mid-90’s and welcomed their only child together in November 1997. 

Although both have since moved on in love, the two have a platonic co-parenting relationship and maintain and an amazing friendship. 

“We joke a lot. People just don’t know our personal life. We joke like that on the phone,” 3Stacks told Vibe in 2014. “She calls me her baby daddy and I call her my baby mama… It’s totally a punch line. Our son is about to be 17 and he tells us, ‘You guys are nuts.’ Erykah and I are cool friends, man. We talk on the phone. She even asks my advice on relationships. She’s like a cool sister more than anything. The first thing people would think about us is, ‘Oh, they don’t get along.’ But there are always feelings when people grow apart. It’s something you have to get through. But man, we are cool.”

We’re so happy to see that these two are always and forever cool.
