Hanging out with my brother in law...

Okay ladies, I need your insight on something. A little back story, my sisters 33 and I’m 24. My sister met her husband when they were just in high school when I was 7 years old, so he’s been in my life for basically as long as I can remember. They have 3 kids together, my nieces who I absolutely adore. They’re my favorite and the reason I decided I wanted to become a teacher! We’re a very close family. And I have always looked at my brother in law as an older brother to me. Well recently, my sister and him have split up. Pretty sure they’re going to get a divorce because they have lived separately for over a year and have officially ended things between them about a year ago. Just haven’t filed for divorce yet. So now to the issue I’m having. I still talk to my brother in law occasionally, he comes to some of our family stuff too and my whole family loves him so it’s kind of been hard for all of us that they split but we’re trying to support both of them. I texted my brother in law yesterday just asking what’s up and I mentioned we gotta get together with the girls soon (my nieces). He’s taking them to the pool today and invited me but I have to work so I offered coming over after work at 3 to make dinner with him and the girls. Those are the plans we have set forward. Even though it’s completely innocent I’m starting to feel guilty because I think my sister would be upset. When they were together, things like that were never an issue but now that they’re apart, I think she would be upset because she’s trying to move on. So I’m feeling guilty about it because I don’t want to hurt my sister because she’s one of my best friends!! On the other hand, I kinda miss having my “older brother” around and he is the father of my nieces who my whole family have known for like 18 years now!! What do you ladies think I should do?? Go hang out with my nieces and him or stay home?
