When to tell Ex-husband about new partner

Hi, not sure if this is the right place. I’ve read conflicting advise so just thought I’d make a post here.

Split with my Husband in April although it was a long time coming and there was no relationship there ever since our DD (almost one) was born. I’ve suffered horrendous PND and i was hospitalised so it’s been rocky and he made the decision to leave in April this year as he had fallen out of love. DD was almost 8 months.
I’ve met a new guy and all is going well. I didn’t think I’d meet anyone so soon but we clicked and he’s been great about my MH too. He has a Son from a previous relationship although he’s older than my DD so I’ve not met him as it’s not fair if things don’t continue to go well and he’s been introduced to me.
My question is when did you see fit to tell your ex about your new partner when there are kids involved? Would you say when the kids meet new partners that that’s the best time or do I tell him sooner in case he bumps into him somehow?
Thank you

You only split up 4 months ago and have PND, are you sure your not rushing into this? I’m not sure if after such a short time you have partner, surely at this point you are still dating. How long have you been seeing the new man?

Maybe mention that you have been dating and wait until it’s a serious relationship before you say anything.
