NBA star Paul George and his Queens ex-stripper baby mama are close to finalizing a "joint parenting, joint decision-making" resolution over their 5-month-old daughter, his lawyer said.
The Indiana Pacers forward had been locked in a nasty custody battle with Daniela Rajic, who brought a paternity suit against him when baby Olivia was born last May.
But on Thursday, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper joked it was a "love fest" between the parents and said he was pleased to see them chatting before the hearing began.
George, 24, and Rajic — who looked stunning in court in a form-hugging dress with towering stilettos — looked like "two people who understand they're going to be tied together for a real long time," Cooper said.
"They will both be participating in their daughter's life, and that makes me feel extremely gratified. I am very pleased that this case has moved forward the way it has," he added.
Cooper previously skewered George — who has not yet met his daughter — for dodging the paternity suit by not showing up for court dates, despite attending press conferences and traveling.
"He has gone to every length imaginable to avoid taking responsibility for his actions," the judge wrote in a September ruling.

The player's new attorney, Harriet N. Cohen, said, "Paul George is looking forward to a very, very wonderful relationship with his daughter."
The parents won't be required to come back to court as long as they finalize the resolution, which also includes child support.
Last May, Rajic slapped the pro athlete with a paternity suit in Manhattan Family Court and moved back to her parents' home in Queens.
George shot back with his own suit, filed in Florida, seeking full custody of Olivia. He claimed that shared custody would be "detrimental" to the child because Rajic is unemployed.
The gorgeous 24-year-old worked as a dancer at Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami before meeting George and dating the young star for a few months.
Now, Rajic is a full-time mama.
"I'm happy everything's resolved and is moving forward. We'll be wonderful parents," she beamed.
George is recovering after breaking his right leg during practice with Team USA in August.
