Packed to the Rafters star Zoe Ventoura discusses co-parenting her son with Neighbours star ex-husband Daniel MacPherson: ‘We’re great’

Zoe Ventoura has revealed how she co-parents her young son with her former husband Daniel MacPherson. 

The former Packed to the Rafters star, 42, told Stellar magazine that she and her Neighbours star ex are on great terms. 

‘We just want to make sure he’s the number-one priority – he feels safe, loved, happy, thriving. And we’re great’ she said. 

‘It’s been 100 per cent respectful and amicable and we’re communicating constantly because when you have a child, you have to.’

She continued: ‘I feel really lucky because I know that it’s not always the case. Some people might want that situation and they can’t do that.

‘So I feel great that we’re on the same page. And we’ve always been on the same page.’

Zoe and Daniel announced their split in December, 2020, after welcoming their son, Austin Xavier, four, in 2019. 

At the time, they shared almost identically worded posts to Instagram, revealing they had mutually decided to separate.

Alongside a photo of the pair with their backs turned to the camera at sunset, Daniel wrote: ‘With the greatest respect for each other, Zoe and I have separated.

‘We just want to make sure he’s the number-one priority – he feels safe, loved, happy, thriving. And we’re great’ she said. ‘It’s been 100 per cent respectful and amicable’

‘Together, we will continue wholeheartedly to raise our beautiful boy Austin. He is, and will forever be, our greatest priority.

‘We ask for your respect and will be making no further comment.’

They have proven to be notoriously private about their only child, keeping him out of the public eye, as well as keeping the pregnancy and birth a secret.

Former soap star Dan married Zoe in an intimate ceremony in Noosa, Queensland in 2015.
