Gage Edward is looking to the future after a year filled with heartache.
“Self—that was quite a year,” he captioned a black-and-white photo of himself smiling in a tufted leather chair.
“Here’s to the highs and to the lows. We learned from it all. Our 35th year ahead is going to be a great one,” the business manager added.
Edward joined Instagram just last month, with hisfirst photofeaturing his 2½-year-old daughter Monroe Christine, whom he has been co-parenting with Lewis, 49, since their split five months ago.
The exes never officially tied the knot, but were together for 10 years and welcomed Monroe via surrogate in October 2016. They officiallybroke things off in February.
Edward moved out of the family home and into an apartment at that time, according to Lewis, who has also said on his SiriusXM radio showJeff LewisLive, that Edward has since started dating a man he met at the gym. Edward has not spoken publicly about his relationship status.
Earlier in May, Lewis announced on the show that his ex would be leaving his company,Jeff LewisDesign. DespiteEdward moving outof their shared family home in January, he hadcontinued in his role at the design firm, managing job sites.
“Mypartner left me three months ago,” Lewis lamented. “He’s leaving the business. I feel like he’s leaving again. By working with him, it was my version of still seeing him, still spending time with him. Now that he’s leaving the business, it’s like breaking up again. It’s a second break up.”

However, the dispute was settled out of court in March, with Trent dropping all claims against them.
Despite the issues they’ve faced since their split, a source told PEOPLE, the fathers are dedicated to successfully coparenting. “Monroe’s happiness is Jeff and Gage’s top priority; She’s their world,” the insider said. “They’ve always kept any of the trouble that was going on between them away from her, making it a point not to argue in front of her or around her. She’s totally unaware of any tension. They’re great parents.”
