When Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GENERAL HOSPITAL) and Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny; Jake, DAYS OF OUR LIVES) got divorced back in April of 2016, both actors promised that they would continue to co-parent their daughter, Harper Rose. At the time, Harper was just three years old, and in the years since, Storms and Barash have done an amazing job at sticking to their word!

The GH actress recently posted an Instagram story of Harper, who just turned 7 last week, cuddled up in bed and watching a tablet. On that tablet, it turns out, was a very important FaceTime call with her dad, as DAYS star Barash read his little girl a bedtime story!

Reposting Storms’ story on his own Instagram page, Barash wrote that storytime is “my favorite time of day.” Aw! How sweet!

We’re sure it takes a lot of work to have co-parenting look as easy as Storms and Barash make it seem! These two have certainly made their little girl a top priority in their lives, and even though they are no longer married, they certainly make an effort to spend lots of family time together!

Back in June, Storms and Barash were beaming proud parents on the day that their little girl graduated from kindergarten. “We came together this week to celebrate the kindergarten graduation of one Harper Rose,” wrote Barash. “And although I appear constipated in this photo, I was/am elated. Constelated?”

On Father’s Day, Storms paid a sweet tribute to her daughter’s father. “Happy Father’s Day to Brandon ☺️ I’m not going to get all gushy and sentimental (you made fun of me for buying Harper an extremely large — much bigger than I thought it was going to be — Barbie airplane last night and I’m still “mad” at you. 😬), but you more than deserve an Instagram post today. Your love for our kid is endless — I see it in the hugs you give each other when you’ve only been apart for a few days, the way she runs to hold your hand after you’ve just “danced” (we’ll call it dancing, but those moves are hard to describe), to her singing on a hike, how proud you are when she’s worked to accomplish something, and the way you make her laugh and have fun (i.e. wrestling during my FaceTime calls, which I actually enjoy watching. Maybe because she sometimes kicks your tush. Heh heh heh 😏). Happy Father’s Day, B!! 🎉”

Even during the pandemic, the trio made time for family outings together. “Snapped this pic on the hike we went on yesterday,” shared Storms of a sweet moment where Barash tossed an elated Harper into the air.

Barash took on a new role — hairdresser! — during the pandemic as he gave his daughter a Covid Cut at Storms’ house. “Last night Harper got a haircut... and Brandon was the one holding the scissors. Quarantine has shown us a few things about ourselves and two of those are... I am a kitchen beautician at heart... and Brandon can give a mean angled haircut (after a few “how-to” videos on YouTube). This little Bug looks so cute with her new hairstyle! 🥰”

It is the family’s tradition to take Harper to Disneyland each January to celebrate her birthday, like this trip last January when Harper turned 6, “Brandon and I took Harper to Disneyland and California Adventure yesterday to celebrate her 6th birthday,” wrote Storms. “Harper and her cousin Riley were almost speechless when they met the Disney princesses (which was my favorite moment of the day). ♥️ “

The former couple sweetly support her daughter during her ballet class. “Harper has officially moved on to a dance class that we aren’t able to sit and watch 😭” Storms wrote. “Now I’m stuck hanging out with this guy.”

A mid-day movie surprise was a special treat for Harper in November 2019. “Today Brandon and I surprised Harper together and picked her up from school a few hours early to take her to see Frozen II,” Storms wrote. “Dressed in her Elsa costume, she ran to the movie theater. Needless to say, she was excited. Feels. ♥️ Happy Thanksgiving week to our little Bug. We are so very thankful for you.”

They may reside in separate houses, but Barash and Storms still come together on occasion to put Harper to bed. And chaos ensued on this particular occasion! “Ugh. I underestimated Brandon’s Where’s Waldo skills and now I owe him $$$. Video of what went down — when we turned bedtime books into a cash game — will be posted tomorrow. Side note: Harper also got in on the action and I owe her 3 LOL Surprise balls 🤦🏼‍♀️ #CoparentingAtItsFinest”

"To the house with the gigantic spider decoration that jumped out at me as I tried to show my child it was a friendly fake spider....you're good - you're real good," posted Storms. "I hope you enjoyed it as I ran screaming down your driveway. Happy Halloween! - from a daddy dinosaur, a baby dinosaur and an Elmo."
