10 Celebrity Exes Who Remain Friends
Breaking up is, as the old song goes, hard to do. It can go one of two ways: You either channel Charlie Puth's "We Don't Talk Anymore" and completely cut that person out of your life or somehow move past the situation and stay friends. (Hey, this person was a big part of your life at one point... so it's not totally irrational.)
For every couple with a nasty split (and the tabloid headlines that invariably follow), there's at least one celebrity who has decided to remain cordial with their ex. It may sound crazy considering how magnified high-profile celebrity breakups can get, but if these guys can do it with cameras flashing in their faces and "are you guys getting back together?" getting thrown at them constantly, then there's really no reason why anyone can't. (Of course, sometimes it really is best to break from your ex entirely. Don't force it — gauge your situation and take it from there.)
