Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

100% can be friends, me and my sons siblings mothers all talk regularly. One of them i spent every day with and even went to the gym together! The dad hasn't had contact in many years with all 4 of his children with 3 different mums. X

I wish my BD’s other children’s moms would all be friends. I’m only friends with one of the other ones. The other one thinks that we are all supposed to be enemies.

I dont see why. My ex had an older daughter and her mum tried to warn me away from him and I didnt listen, I went to her after we broke up and apologised for not listening and thanked her for trying. We have each other on FB wouldn't say we're friends but we have had contact
