Unlike some celebrity exes (for example: Russell Brand and Katy Perry, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, and John Mayer and Taylor Swift, to name a few), who can’t stand each other and have threw shade in public interviews or on social media about their exes post-breakup, not every former famous relationship has ended on bad terms.
Some celebrity exes who remain on good terms with each other after breaking up and/or divorcing (for those celebrity exes who were married). Whether it’s due to the children (and wanting to successfully co-parent them together despite not being together) they share, the still-existing mutual respect, and/or not wanting to lose the already established friendship, some former flames still maintain a great relationship. Notable celebrity exes who have great relationships with each other post-breakup include Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, and Sean Penn and Madonna, to name a few.
Besides the more well-known former flames listed above who are still amicable with each other listed above, here are some other pairs of Celebrity Exes Who Are Still Friends After Breaking Up:
The rapper and comedian (on the right) and Grammy-winning pop singer (on the left) began dating after meeting on the set of the latter’s music video for her song “Bye Bye” which was shot on the Caribbean Island of Antigua in 2008. Just six weeks after dating, the pair got engaged and wed in the Bahamas on April 30th, 2008.
On April 30th, 2011, their third wedding anniversary, Carey gave birth to their twins Monroe (a girl) and Moroccan (a boy) Cannon. Unfortunately, the couple filed for divorce in 2014, which was finalized in 2016. Although Cannon has since had his third child overall (another boy) with Model Brittany Bell and Carey was engaged to Billionaire James Packer from January to October 2016, there is still a great amount of love between both Cannon and Carey.
Model and Actress Liv Tyler (on the left) and Oscar-Nominated Actor Joaquin Phoenix (on the right) was one of the most beloved couples of the 1990s. The two met in 1995 on the set of the film Inventing the Abbotts, which was released in 1997. Tyler and Phoenix soon began a relationship that lasted from 1995 to 1998.
Both have moved on and had other relationships since. Despite this, both Tyler and Phoenix remain great friends and have a deep respect for each other. Tyler revealed in 2015 that Phoenix was her “first love” and that she considers Joaquin and his three sisters as close family. Meanwhile, Phoenix has once said “[Liv’s] a darling. I’ve said it over and over again,” and, “When Liv and I met, it was for a reason — I really needed her and she really needed me.”
One of Hollywood’s most friendly pairs of celebrity exes is actors Bruce Willis (on the left) and Demi Moore (on the right). The pair were married in 1987 and had three daughters (Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah) together before they divorced in 2000. They divorced on amicable terms and were able to successfully co-parent their three girls together.
Although their marriage ended, Willis and Moore are still super close to the point that fans thought they were going to remarry! In addition, these two celebrity exes have supported each other through their ups and downs.
The two celebrity exes have even made red carpet appearances together with their blended family, which not only includes their three daughters, but also Bruce’s second wife Model Emma Heming (Bruce and Emma have been married since 2009 and have two daughters together). Bruce and Demi noticeably sat together in the audience when their eldest daughter Rumer competed (and eventually won) Season 20 of Dancing with The Stars during the spring of 2015.
The This Is Us star and Singer (on the right) and That 70’s Show alum and current NCIS Star (on the left) were an item for two years from 2000-2002. Moore has even admitted that Valderrama was her “first, real boyfriend” in the past.
Although she’s now married to Taylor Goldsmith and he was with Singer and Actress Demi Lovato from 2010-2016 (another ex who Valderrama is still on good terms with), that doesn’t stop these two celebrity exes from hanging out together post-breakup.
In fact, Moore and Valderrama are still friendly with each other (“Not that close” though as the former as said in the past) and they reunite every year to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios together. Outside of Halloween Horror Nights, whenever the two celebrity exes reunite, both post the reunions on their social media accounts, including when they ran into each other at the 2018 Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic and the time when they ran into each other at Paramount Studios.
Not only are Oscar-Nominated Actor Andrew Garfield (on the right) and Oscar-Winning Actress Emma Stone (on the left) are among the pairs of celebrity exes who remain, friends, they also rank highly among the pairs of famous former couples who fans want to see get back together!
Garfield and Stone began dating in 2010 during production for the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man (a film both starred in, along with the 2014 sequel) but broke up sometime in 2015. Although no longer together, Garfield and Stone are each other’s biggest fans as seen during awards season from 2016-17 for films released in 2016.
At the 89th Oscars Ceremony in February 2017, Garfield (his first and so far only nomination) was nominated for Best Actor for Hackshaw Ridge while Stone (in what was her second of eventually 3 nominations) was nominated Best Actress for the first time (her other two nominations were for Best Supporting Actress), for La La Land. During one of the commercial breaks, Stone reportedly went up to where Garfield was sitting with his father and gave both a hug. Although Garfield lost to Casey Affleck for Manchester By The Sea, Stone won her first Oscar that night and while making her acceptance speech, the cameras panned to her ex, who was visibly moved.
Actress Cameron Diaz (on the left) and Singer and former NSYNC Member Justin Timberlake (on the right) were together as a couple for almost four years from 2003-2007. Although both have moved on and are now married to Good Charlotte Lead Guitarist Benji Madden and Actress Jessica Biel (with who he has a son with) respectively, Diaz and Timberlake have remained friends.
After their breakup, the two celebrity exes worked together on two films: the 2007 film Shrek the Third (which premiered a few months after their breakup) and the 2011 Adult Comedy Bad Teacher. In the latter film, Diaz and Timberlake played each other’s love interests.
