As for their current relationship status? “Now it’s next steps, conversations and figuring out, you know, what are those next steps?” McLean shared. “But we are definitely moving unanimously in the right direction.”
And that also means prioritizing their family. “God forbid we came to that realization that we’re not gonna try to work things out,” the 47-year-old emphasized, “we’ve still come to a great place where we can coexist together happily but, most importantly, put our children first and make sure that they’re good and take care of them and keep them safe.”
Meanwhile, he and Rochelle—who announced in January 2024 that they planned to “officially end” their marriage following a year-long separation—continue to spend one-on-one time and even still pack on the PDA, to the annoyance of their kids.
“They still hate when we kiss each other,” McLean said. “They’re at that age. It kind of grosses them out. Even if it’s in a movie, they’re like, ‘Ew, gross!’ So I purposely will be like, ‘Mommy, give me a kiss real quick.’ They’re like, ‘Oh, come on, Dad!’ I’m like, ‘What? I love Mommy. I’m gonna give her a kiss. Leave me alone.'”
