Contact with SC after split

Hi all,
I split with my partner around 6 weeks again after 4.5 years together, we lived together but at the time of the split I had moved out. I had a lovely relationship with his DCs, like really good friends. They are both school age and used to text occasionally and ring. My ExDP and I had been rocky for a while (I posted lots about it) so when we finally split it was swift and clear. Since then his DC have text me a few times, nothing relating to the split more like chats about their day, I respond as I always have done, excited, friendly and chatty. My question is do you think I should let my ex know they have been reaching out? It doesn’t seem as he has spoken to them about the split and I am unaware if I am crossing any boundaries. My DC are both grown up and have heard nothing from him or contacted him. Would appreciate some advice 😊

You ssy school age but what age, if they old enough it's up to them really if they want to continue to reach out to you

I expect this will fizzle out OP. I wouldn’t tell your ex. Don’t make it into something it’s not.
